Everyone has heard the mantra 'Knitting is the new yoga' but not everyone is lucky enough to have someone to show them the ropes and get them started on their very first row. Unless they have a friend or relative to teach them how to start, often would-be knitters turn to the so-called 'beginners patterns' but these can be confusing, difficult to follow, and more often than not written in 'knit' rather than English. This book will be a tried and tested guide for people at the very beginning of their knitting lives, looking for guidance and patterns for projects that they can use to make that first all-important step to 'Beyond the Scarf'. Contents include: Knitting Basics: Getting Started; Knitter's First Project: The Scarf; Workshops: Decreasing; Creating a Rib; Changing Colour; Increasing; Finishing; Knitting a Flower; Cable: Making a Cable; Making a Cable Bag; Eyelets and so on... Review: The BEST Beginner's Book! - I had tried knitting prior to purchasing this book, and the other books I had just didn't visually assist me. This book is a must for a beginner! Everything is clearly explained and is accompanied by pictures. The book progresses through different patterns (scarf, baby booties, hat, shawl, etc) and teaches you new stitches and techniques as you go. So far the projects have been exceptionally simple to complete due to the clear and concise instructions and visual aids. I highly recommend this book for not only those that have never picked up knitting needles before, but also for those that gave up or are struggling because other books didn't explain it enough. Review: Author has great instructional style - This is a super book. I last knitted probably 30 years ago - I could make scarfs. woo hoo. I have only done dish washing cloths - but they look really good! I knitted and purled. It has several easy to do projects. I just retired so this is a start. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,379,104 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,665 in Knitting (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 414 Reviews | ## Images ![Knitty Gritty: Knitting For The Absolute Beginner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EMHsVhqfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST Beginner's Book! *by K***N on January 28, 2012* I had tried knitting prior to purchasing this book, and the other books I had just didn't visually assist me.
