This is a guide to the art of hand knitting that is designed to appeal to knitters of all abilities. The book starts with a section on techniques, beginning with the basics, with increasingly complex techniques introduced, chapter by chapter, to include special textures, shapes, colour work, and techniques. All are illustrated with easy-to-follow step-by-step diagrams with a selection of appropriate stitch samples to help the knitter practice and consolidate the stitches and skills described.
