A gorgeous mini guide packed full of knitting know-how, practical illustrations and four simple projects. Perfect for complete beginners, it clearly explains 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. Before you know it, you'll be knitting a garter stitch scarf, a herringbone stitch blanket, a loop stitch cushion and a pompom hat.
