Synopsis
With the clearest instructions and pictures, and with Jenny Lord as your knitting tutor, you will learn to knit in a series of simple steps. After a whirlwind tour through the history of a craft that's been enjoyed for generations, you'll discover where to source the best yarns, and progress from knitting simple scarves to mastering the art of sock knitting and even more sophisticated projects. Following totally original patterns - created by Jenny and some of her favourite people from the online knitting community - you'll be able to make charming gifts for all your favourite people: your man, your mother, your godchild or the little baby next door.
With every pattern rated by level of difficulty, we guarantee that, whether you're a beginner or a more capable knitter, this is the knitting book you'll keep referring to, again and again.
Now, go and get your needles. Let's begin.

Reviewer: S McDonald
'A lovely book but be aware that the instructions for the Bramble Stitch Scarf on p130 are wrong. I have tried to see if I can contact the publisher to point this out but to save fellow knitters some heartache - the asterisk for the pattern repeat is in the wrong place. It should be after the k1 in both rows 2 and 4. A shame that this was not properly checked as a knitting book stands or falls by its patterns ** Thanks, we''ve let the editor know.
