The book provides detailed information on yarns, needle types and sizes, plus step-by-step guidance on tension, casting on, knitting basics, knit stitch, purl stitch and much more! All of the sections on learning to knit have clear colour artwork and diagrams on the stitches and knitting process, teamed with colour photography of real-life examples of knitted items, ideal for the beginner. The book also comes with an outstanding gallery of 20 simple projects to make (easy, intermediate and advanced) - with garments for all the family, accessories and home furnishings, using gorgeous yarns from Patons: Patons Diploma Gold 4 ply; Patons Diploma Gold DK; Patons Diploma Gold Aran; and, Patons 100 per cent Cotton 4 ply. The delightful projects include: A Pot Holder worked in three colours, which forms a pocket to insert your hand; a rectangular Cushion Cover in elegant black, white and grey that looks fantastic in both traditional and contemporary settings; plus clothing such as the classic Child's Raglan Sweaters which is knitted in machine-washable, double-knitting weight wool - to the cool cotton Unisex V-neck Sweater that looks great on both the sexes. Each project has detailed instructions, a requirements list and tension guide, together with a gorgeous colour photograph of the finished project.
