This book is amazing! It's best to learn knitting from somewhere else first if you've got a really young child. I'm a new knitter, and the patterns in this book are simple, fun, and fast. Defintely reccomended. I HATE IT!!!!!!!! Okay, So I picked this book up and bought it, thinking it could teach me to knit. Th intructions make it seem very challenging!!!!!! I don't reccomend this book to anyone. Great Projects & Easy to Follow This book is beautiful. The projects are fun and the directions are easy to follow. This is the book I learned with as an adult. The projects are great for both kids and adults. Great Book, Easy To Follow I bought this book to teach myself how to knit. After a couple practice squares, I've spent the past couple months working on my first patchwork afghan. This book is very easy to follow. As someone in there mid 20s, I felt bad that I did not have someone in my life growing up that knew how to knit. Many children's books on the market are great because they are easy to read and they have colorful pictures. When I read so many good reviews about this book, I knew I should giving knitting a try! Although I felt silly buying a book for kids, I have to admit that this is one of the best instruction books I own. I highly recommend it for anyone learning how to knit on their own! For Beginners, Kids or Adult While it is certainly easier to learn to knit from a live person, this book is the next best thing. With clear pictures and directions, this book takes you from the tools through how to knit a whole sweater. Along the way, there are lots of projects designed to practice specific skills: knit, purl, weaving, increasing, ribbing, and so on. This means that, instead of practicing for a long time before you begin your sweater, you can make a bean bag, a hat, a scarf, a back pack, and much more while practicing. At the end, you will be ready to succeed with the simple sweater pattern. Since the pattern goes up to 46" at the chest, many adults will be able to make and enjoy this sweater, too. My personal favorite pattern in this book is the spiral sock. This pattern makes great slippers, while giving plenty of practice in decreasing. The swatch scarf lets you practice different stitch patterns and use the results in a whimsical scarf. There is even a felting project. All the patterns are given in plain English, but there is a page at the back which explains knitter-ese like "psso". Naturally, all the patterns are simple, but they are designed with beautiful yarns which will give nice results. A beginning knitter who makes several patterns from this book will be ready to go on to grownup patterns! See also:
