A complete guide to the stitches, techniques, and finishing touches
that every knitter needs to know.
Whether you are just learning to knit, or you are seldom separated from
your needles and yarn, there will always be times when you need
instruction--or just a reminder--on a particular technique or stitch,
and even the most experienced knitter may not know all the tips and
wrinkles included here. Knitting Know-How has step-by-step
instructions accompanied by clear color artworks, showing you how to do
everything from basic knit and purl stitches, to increasing and
decreasing, lace patterns, intarsia, and Fair Isle. If you want to know
how to get started, everything from casting on and working out your
gauge to blocking your finished make is covered. For more experienced
knitters, useful tips on making buttonholes, picking up stitches, and
stranding yarns in color work will all help you achieve a perfect finish
to your makes.
