Knitting 101

by Carri Hammett

Written with the absolute beginner in mind, this book teaches all the basics for learning to knit with step-by-step instructions and photographs. Knitting skills are learned by working on projects, beginning with something very easy and getting progressively more difficult as the reader works through the book. New skills are explored in depth as they are introduced. The introductory section covers all the basics of knitting-selecting yarn, needle types and sizes, other tools and accessories, knitting gauge, casting on, forming stitches, reading patterns-making this the most comprehensive beginner's book available.

Great book for beginners, you can learn visually from the DVD where the instructor walks you through basic stitches or read the book descriptions and illustrations provided.

This book is set up like a textbook with how to guides and projects for every chapter. It was just what I needed to learn how to knit.
