Knitting for the Absolute Beginner (Absolute Beginner Craft)

I hadn't knitted for a few years, so I bought this book to remind me how to do certain stitches etc, its very easy to follow and had good photos to show you exactly how to do things. The book is exactly what I needed for a quick reference/reminder. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Easy to understand good quality

Value for money

Nice pictures with instructions but 100’s of books like this, bought 2nd hand, glad I did not buy new. This can all be found on internet

Good gift

This is the second copy of this book that I have purchased. I got the first, just to see if I could use it with the kids I work with, to help them when I was not there to show them how to knit, or the other tips and tricks I could show them. Well, that first book was a godsend! So now the second one is also for them as on occasions' two of the girls were squabbling over who would need it most! As there are two more girls now wanting to learn to knit, I may need to buy more copies. It has helped them understand not only how to knit, but how to read a pattern and the patterns that are included have been their inspiration to try and make items for Christmas presents which being handmade are truly appreciated by friends and family alike.

Nice looking book but the pictures and instructions are not clear at all! I could not follow the first step on making a slip knot to cast on from these images and directions. Very disappointed.

Great book got it for my friend so she could start to knit

The book is easy to read and the information is very helpful and useful for beginners

Easy to understand & follow the captions etc

First, I liked the spine. The book could be held open so you won’t lose your place. Second, I liked that the “basics” of knitting were taught, not fancy stitches one might never use.

Je ne voit pas grand chose sur la version Kindle. J'ai beau agrandir les caractères, l'image, etc., rien n'y fait. Ce livre ne me sert à rien. I've enlarged the letters, the page, still I Can't see anything on kindle

Loved it! It was so easy to follow. I can’t wait to do more projects. I definitely gained some confidence.
