Pocket book of knitting
(Book - Regular Print)

"From best-selling author and crafting queen Claire Gelder, this gorgeous mini guide is packed full of knitting know-how, practical illustrations and three simple projects. Perfect for complete beginners, this book breaks down everything you need to know about knitting: how to read a ball band, how to get tension correct, how to choose needles and yarns, how to cast on, and how to read abbreviations and knitting patterns. The book is structured as a simple 3-step course that will help you progress from bronze to gold as your skills and confidence grow. Start with the basic stitches and simple joining, build up a few more stitches for your collection, then finally add in some simple shaping and some pompoms. Before you know it you'll be knitting a garter stitch scarf, herringbone stitch blanket and a loop stitch cushion"--,Provided by publisher.
