As a child my Mum was always trying to teach me to knit, but I had no interest, considering it was for old fogies. Well, now that I am an old fogie myself (39) with little children, I thought it was probably time to learn to knit. Sadly my Mum was no longer around, so I had to search for a good book to teach me the basics. This book is wonderful. Not only are there some really fun little projects, but the instructions are very clear and precise - I had no idea that casting on was quite so easy! I've since moved onto more advanced projects, but I keep this book nearby for reference. This book is perfect for everyone who wants to learn to knit in a fun, clear and precise way. Brilliant.

I bought this book after seeing my neice's copy - it's a lovely little book for young knitters - I wanted it as it has some really simple patterns for nice items you might want to make as quick to knit gifts - and also for the knitted flowers - which you can add onto any item you have knitted - so even though I am not new to knitting - I still like this book very much.
Recommended!
It is modern and includes many projects - the photography is nice and the directions are clear.

This book helped me learn how to knit properly, I could only do 'knit' stitch and that was it. This book taught me how to do the whole thing from start to finish, cast on, knit/purl/cast off/knit flowers and leaves, bags etc. Which means Ive now been able to help my 6yr old daughter learn new things too. This book was recommended by an after-school club crafts teacher and I can't recommend it highly enough for learning all the steps you and your child will want to learn. Easy to understand with good descriptions and diagrams.Super!

Even I could do it!
Someone bought this book for my daughter who was very keen to try knitting, and I used it first to teach myself. Beautifully clear, and just as good for ham fisted grownups. Read more

How to knit?
A nice looking book and easy to follow until you realise they have got one of the patterns wrong! Lost faith in the book after that, and gave it away.

Great for learning the basics
Easy to follow instructions and pictures, great for a beginner like myself. Some easy fun patterns to follow too. Would recommend to adults (like myself!) and children.
