A practical first guide to knitting

Alison Dupernex’s guide combines foundational techniques with projects that put them into practice. It covers stitches, casting on and off, shaping, and finishing, with step-by-step instructions and photographs accompanying the patterns. Projects range from scarves, hats, and sweaters to cable-knit cardigans and throws, bringing wearable items and home accessories into the same introduction. A fold-out reference explains pattern abbreviations, while the wire-bound format is designed to stay open during use. The book’s structure makes technique and project instructions easy to consult side by side as a beginner builds knitting skills.
