Knit Step by Step

As the best beginner's books do, Knit Step By Step gorgeously assumes you know nothing. Along with demonstrating key stitches, such casting-on and knit/purl, it serves as a field guide to the knitting world with information on tools and yarn categories. Intensely pictorial and blessedly clear, it's even better than having a mentor by your side! Also includes 10 easy projects designed to build your knitting confidence.
