Riassunto

If only all first knitting books were as simple to use as this! Organized into three chapters, the book starts with knit only patterns, moves onto knit and purl patterns in Chapter Two and culminates in simple colour knitting in Chapter Three. Authors Luise Roberts and Kate Haxell look over the beginner’s shoulder throughout and guide them every step of the way.

 

The book is carefully structured so that new techniques are learned in the Workshop sections and then put into practise in the projects. Patterns start with a simple scarf, bootees, hat and cushion, and move on to the more complex pom-pom hat and kimono jacket. The final chapter includes colour work, with designs for a beach bag and socks among others. Integrated into each pattern are step-by-step sequences, so that, for example, where the notation says, ‘skpo, k2tog’, you’ll find a reassuring two-step sequence showing exactly what your knitting needles should be doing.

 

At key shaping stages, there are more photographs to show what your garment should look like at that stage. It’s a great way to compare your own knitting with the teacher’s, so you can ensure you are always on track. The useful ready-reference fold-out flaps mean you never have to let go of your knitting for a moment.
