Format:Paperback
I bought this for my wife as she has just taken up knitting and she has found this book to be incredibly useful. She says that the book is very easy to use and covers everything she needs; from how to pick-up a dropped stitch to helping her understand knitting patterns, etc.
If nothing else it saves her making late night phone calls to our mothers for help when she gets stuck!
A great item at a cheap price and as always it was swiftly delivered; 10/10!

This is a great book for beginners to knitting. It is easy to understand as every type of stitch is fully explained, visual examples are good as you can see what your work is supposed to look like.

Helpful,...but not that much
I bought this book as I am an absolute knitting dummy. The basics are pretty clear and helpful, although as the content gets more complicated, so does the explanation. Read more

I have re-started knitting after an absence of 30 years. I gave up because of lack of time and an inability to progress because I couldn't understand patterns. Read more

A must for all knitters.
I have knitted for years but as a self taught knitter I have never had the courage to knit any patterns that are not made up of rib, stocking stitch or garter stitch. Read more

Clear, but very American
Very clear, easy to follow instructions. Language and technical stuff very American, but you'd expect that from the "dummies" series. Read more
