Learn how to knit in just minutes!
Knitting is one of the most popular crafts among people all ages, but if
you've never picked up a set of needles before, it's hard to know where
to begin. Geared toward the absolute beginner, Idiot's Guides:
Knitting teaches the basics of knitting in a series of lessons using
full-color, step-by-step photo-rich instructions that enable you to
clearly see how each stitch, finger movement, and yarn movement is
executed.
Lessons are accompanied by practice projects, allowing you to try out
your newly learned skill. As the lessons become more advanced, so do the
projects, so you'll not only get instant gratification by knitting a
project right away, you'll also become more proficient as you learn and
have the motivation to keep going. In addition, the book includes over
20 fun and fresh projects along with galleries of stitch patterns for
beginner and intermediate-level knitters.
This completely illustrated guide is an essential tool for every new
knitter. Features include:
- Tailored to the absolute beginner who has never picked up a pair
of needles before, with clear, easy-to-understand illustrated
instructions.

basic techniques of knitting--casting on, binding off, knit and purl
