Easy Designs for the Novice Knitter does exactly what it says on the front cover. It is a book for the novice knitter. The instructions are clear and concise from Materials and Equipment, Knitting Know-how, to adapting the designs and using texture. My only criticism is that it is designed mainly for knitting children's wear which I personally am not fond of, but an excellent choice for the novice.
