If only all beginner's knitting books were as simple to use as this! Organised into three broad chapters, starting with patterns that involve knit only, moving onto knit and purl patterns and culminating in simple colour knitting, this complete resource will guide you each step of the way.

Integrated into each pattern, step-by-step sequences are reassuring simple and will show you exactly what your knitting needles should be doing at that particular point in the pattern. The useful ready-reference foldout flaps mean you never have to let go of your knitting for a moment.

With over 20 projects from a simple scarf to a soft rabbit, you are sure to find the perfect gift or simply create something to treasure for years to come.

The Harmony Guides have been longstanding references for more than thirty years, with over half a million worldwide sales. Fully revised and updated with eye-catching photography and innovative new stitches, these really will be the only reference titles on your bookshelves. Kate Haxell was taught to knit by her grandmother, but only discovered she was holding the needles wrongly twenty years later. Since then she has worked with several knitters and learned many new skills.
