Get Started with Knitting

MASTER the basics and UNLOCK your creativity with 25 STYLISH, BEGINNER-FRIENDLY knitting projects, all designed to BUILD CONFIDENCE and get you hooked on the mindful joy of making.

Expert knitter Fiona Goble may have learned to knit as a child, but she knows exactly what it's like to be starting out—you have the yarn, you've bought the needles, but when you look at a knitting pattern, it all seems like gobbledygook. To avoid this, she’s put together Get Started with Knitting, a book designed to make learning to knit easy, enjoyable, and approachable.

You’ll start off mastering the basic stitches and learning how to read a pattern, as well as some simple techniques such as casting on and binding off, and increasing and decreasing. Following that are 25 great projects, all using the simple stitches and techniques that you have just learned about. There are chunky scarves and cowls that knit up really quickly using big needles, beanies and bobble hats that can be made in a weekend, and bunting and a pillow cover that even a novice can knit in no time.

Once you start knitting, you won't want to stop, so put those new skills to use and create a whole range of fantastic things to wear or for the home.
