Let me begin by saying that I borrowed a "beginners" book about knitting from a friend about a month ago that was so confusing that I just gave it up. This book, Knitting For Beginners: The A-Z Guide to Have You Knitting in 3 Days is the exact opposite.I'm going to 3 baby showers before the end of the year. I wanted to make something that was personal, something that I could afford on a budget, and also develop a useful skill. Knitting, I figured, would be the way to go.I will admit that, at first, I was overwhelmed with how much detail this book packs. When it says A-Z Guide, it isn't joking. The photographs, the diagrams, the helpful links to videos and other resources, and the incredibly simple descriptions are exactly what I needed! I cannot stress this enough. I know it probably sounds silly to get super excited about a book on Knitting, but this isn't just a book on Knitting; it's THE book on Knitting.There are a bunch of patterns (from easy to advanced) at the end that you can use to practice the types of stitches you'll learn in the book. The baby blanket and the little hat are the ones I plan on making for the baby showers. I have a friend who wants me to knit him a face mask for Halloween (he works at a Haunted House attraction every year), so I'm really looking forward to doing that, too.The format of the way everything is laid out is simple and easy to understand. Really, this is more of a Knitter's Survival Guide. Seriously, if you're trying to get into Knitting, or you're still new, I would highly recommend this book.
Having inherited some knitting supplies from a neighbour, I went searching for a basic knitting for beginners guide. And I am glad I settled on this one! When I looked at the table of contents, I admit I was overwhelmed at first. The book covers so much material, and I was afraid it would be really complicated. Yes, there is a ton of information, but the author presents it in clear, direct instructions with many close-up photos. The photos especially make the directions easy to follow. This guide has info on the supplies you will need, the different types of yarn, knitting stitches of all kinds, troubleshooting advice, and even some knitting patterns. (And most of the knitting patterns are for the beginner.) Don’t worry if you don’t know how to read a knitting pattern yet; the author explains how they are written too. Overall, I will return back to this guide again and again till I learn to knit.
I've been trying to learn how to knit for a while now but I wasn't lucky finding a book that I really liked, I found most of them too complicated for a person with zero knowledge like me... we'll I have finally find it, this one has all I need, from the beginning till the end.The most I like are the great tutorial pictures it has, It makes me understand the process very clearly, I am first and foremost a visual learn, so this works perfect for me.I like the details of all the knitting instructions the author gives, it has wonderful and very easy to follow instructions, and the knitting patterns are easy to read.Left handed people, this book its also for you!You will also find knitting patters for beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels.
For a couple of weeks now, I have been searching for an easy-to-read knitting guide that would help me create beautiful but modern baby shawl designs for my little nephew. I’m so happy I found this book! It has such great formatting; I read it in an hour.As a beginner, I loved how clear, easy and detailed the knitting techniques and instructions were. The author even shows you photos of needed supplies, different yarn types, all kinds of knitting stitches, and 15 awesome knitting patterns. I felt like I was attending a live training while reading. Now I’m confident that I will have my first shawl ready by Saturday. This is definitely the book to read if you are a beginner and need to master knitting.
When my mum decided to teach me how to knit, I was sceptical – I’ve never been very good with my hands. But when I had a look around for books with knitting patterns – I’m one of the Hermione Granger people, I learn best from a book - I found this one, and boy, did it deliver.It starts out with a very good overview of the different tools and supplies needed for knitting, which helped me familiarise myself with the different types of yarn and needles. The second part tackles actual knitting stitches and knitting patterns. This book is very didactic in general: it includes lots of diagrams and detailed pictures, which make it much easier to follow the knitting patterns (even though those are already very well-explained, in the minutest detail). It even includes multiple links to videos, which allow you to follow the patterns as executed by someone who actually knows what they’re doing. The glossary for abbreviations and terminology also came in very handy.This book covers a wide variety of knitting patterns, techniques and projects; you won’t get bored of it anytime soon! It even looks a bit overwhelming at first, but thanks to the detailed instructions, it turned out to actually be quite simple, and definitely very fun.
