This is a complete guide to everything beginners need to know to create beautiful handwork. Learning to knit is easier than ever! You'll start with the basics, gradually add advanced techniques, and soon graduate to making a variety of sample projects. The first section is designed to help you master the fundamentals, from casting on to making knit and purl stitches and binding off. Five foundation lessons teach both the English and Continental methods of knitting. To provide you with "hands-on" practice as you learn, special instructions are highlighted in blue. These allow you to continue working on the same swatch of fabric as you build new skills, rather than having to start a new swatch with each type of stitch.
