Pocket Book Of Knitting By Claire Gelder

Pocket Book of Knitting by Claire Gelder. Perfect for complete beginners.

Our Founder, Claire Gelder, has written The Pocket Book Of Knitting as a guide for the complete novice as they step into the world of knitting.

Claire clearly explains everything you need to know about knitting: how to read a ball band, how to get tension correct, how to choose needles and yarns, how to cast on and how to read abbreviations and knitting patterns.

It is structured as a simple three-step course that will help you progress from bronze to gold as your skills and confidence grow. Start with the basic stitches and simple joining, build up a few more stitches for your collection, then finally add in some simple shaping and some pompoms. Before you know it you'll be knitting a garter stitch scarf, herringbone stitch blanket, a loop stitch cushion and a pompom hat.

Filled with positive affirmations and beautifully illustrated, this wonderful book is a perfect 'Introduction to Knitting' for a complete beginner.
