Synopsis

Knitting is coming back into fashion as a fun, practical and therapeutic craft. But while previous generations might have learnt knitting at their mother's knee, today's would-be knitters rarely have access to such a reservoir of knowledge. Start Knitting fills this gap. Taking the beginner step-by-step thorough every stage of learning to knit, it progresses from elementary techniques through to a variety of stitches. Along the way the varied projects give you the opportunity to practice the skills you've learned and make practical and stylish garments, accessories, and items for the home.
