Press & Blog Reviews
How I wish this book had been available when I learnt to knit 40 years ago. Usborne have a reputation for producing attractive and informative craft titles and they have not lowered their standards with this title… The illustrations are clear, easy to follow and attractive. The whole book has been well designed – with a modern and fashionable colour palette. The instructions are also clear and easy to follow. Unlike many craft books this one does not fall down in the quality of the projects shown. They are simple and achievable for the target audience, but they are also usable and well finished.

Once you've mastered the basic skills of knitting, this colourful book offers lots of suggestions of things to knit, from fringed and pompom decorated scarves to neat little bow-trimmed handbags and a stripey iPod holder. You can learn purl and stocking stitches, which allows you to experiment with lots of other fancier stitches like moss, rib and basketweave stitches in a variety of different ways.
