ci sono tante illustrazioni passo passo ma non sempre è facile seguirle e spesso cercando su youtube si trovano tecniche più semplici per fare una determinata cosa.

I started with zero knowledge of knitting, and this book (combined with a few videos of specific techniques) has led me to a point of being comfortable and confident in my knitting skills. It starts off with the very basics like yarn types, sizes, labels, tools. It made it very easy for me to make my first knitting shopping trip! And the book covers a decent variety of techniques and projects, all in an intuitive order that builds on the previous sections/chapters. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to try knitting, especially if you are unsure where to start.

When I bought this book I was looking for a refresher as I already knew how to knit. This book has taught me stitches and has patterns I have never seen before. It might start off as a beginner and very in depth but by the end of the book you will be more than a beginner!

I teach knitting at a senior center. I am left handed and have found teaching right handers to knit is confusing to both. Sometimes a video is not good enough. The well-photographed steps for the knit and purl stitches available in print, along with my verbal encouragement, make for excellent completion of each stitch.

I’ve bought a few how-to books on knitting. A lot of them have very hard to decipher diagrams, but this one has been really easy to follow. Plus it has a step by step approach so that you can learn and practice each stitch pattern. This is the book I pack with my knitting supplies when I travel. I love it!

i bought it as a gift for my girlfriend who says that the instructions make sense. what makes the book exceptional to my eye is the photography. Those sequences of photographs showing hand and needle positions as you progress thru the stitching are lucid, and the illustrative photos of modelswearing the final products are well composed, shapely, color orchestrated, suggesting what you can doonce you master the techniques. this book is well made all the way around.

I don't normally take the time to write a review, even tho I do read them. But, I had to for this little book. I am truly a beginner. And a complete dummy when it comes to reading directions. I'm a "show me" kind of person. But, this little book is SOOOO easy to understand & follow. It packs a large deal of great information in such a small book. I get frustrated if I have to wade thru a bunch of, what I call "filler" directions. This is straight to the point & easy to understand wording & photos. I can't recommend this book enough. Worth ever penny!

I'm an expert knitter and have been knitting for years. I have a friend that wanted to learn. While I did teacher her the basics in person, I wanted her to have a book with instructions and information that she would be able to refer to as she is knitting in case she had any questions. From what I saw of this book when I got it, it has all the information a beginner needs to get started. Although, I only saw one method of casting on in the beginning of the book when there are several different ways. But, yeah, it's a great beginner book.

This is a really good, basic guide to knitting stitches and techniques for the utter beginner (which is me!).It is for right-handed knitting only though, so if you are a leftie and can’t twist your brain around mirroring all pictures and descriptions then it wouldn’t be for you. I am a leftie that knits right-handed though, so lucky me.This book takes you through techniques and practice swatches before gradually leading you through some basic but useful, functional patterns. I’d say this is an essential beginner’s knitting book - I never thought I’d be able to cast on and off properly but this book has taught me this and many other techniques.Very clear and has good, achievable patterns. Highly recommended.
