What You’ll Learn with Liz Chandler’s Knitting Guide

If you are an absolute beginner with no background in knitting, the step-by-step knitting lessons will walk you through all the basics. You will learn “Continental Style” knitting (sounds fancy right?), which means you will hold the yarn in your left hand while you knit. You’ll make your very first useful item, a washcloth or scarf, by wrapping yarn loops on the needles (“casting on”) and practicing the knit stitch. Each new skill you learn will allow you to knit a new project. 

You’ll find the skills to knit 15 practical designs in multiple sizes (65 total patterns are included).

Start with flat knitted projects like washcloths, scarves, and blankets.

Then, learn to “knit in the round” and make seamless tubes. You can shape these into pillowcases, cup holders, leg warmers, ear warmers, hats, and gloves.

The knitting patterns in this book are classic, minimalist designs, so you can continue to knit them long after you have mastered the basic skills.

This full-color, high-gloss hardcover book, contains 548 pages of definitions, explanations, photo guides, written lessons, and row-by-row knitting patterns. It is thorough enough to use as a textbook for your fiber-art classes and beautiful enough to display in your home.
