The first in a new series, Rowan’s Learn to Knit: The Basics takes the
beginner through essential knitting skills such as casting on, casting
off, and the basic knit and purl stitch. Building on these instructions,
they can move onto combinations of stitches and begin to incorporate
the next level of skills. Expert tips and advice appear throughout. A
series of 12 simple patterns enables consolidation of the skills learned
throughout the book, each encouraging, inspiring and developing
confidence.
