Knit & Stitch: for beginners

This easy learning book is directed exclusively at first-time knitters, inspiring confidence, and instructing beginners on basic techniques for casting stitches. From there, they progress to make useful and attractive items, including scarves, socks, tote bags, ponchos, and other good-looking things. The author gives directions for ten finished projects in all. In addition, she includes instructions for making and attaching pom-poms, tassels, covered buttons, knitted roses, and several other embellishments. Knitting novices will also discover clever ways to decorate knitted pieces with colored felt and ribbon attachments. All knitting projects are presented with detailed lists of required materials, including yarns and needles in correct sizes for the projects to be completed. With Wendy Freeman's cheerfully presented instructions and large, bright color photos on every page, here is the perfect book for beginning knitters.
