If you don't know how to knit, 'The Knitting Directory' will show you how, with clear, large-scale diagrams and easy-to-follow steps. And with chapters on basic knit stitches, advanced work, adding decorative detail and finishing garments like a professional, there's plenty here for both experienced and inexperienced knitters.
The book is planned around five clear sections:
- Equipment and Basic Techniques - all the equipment and information you'll need to start knitting, together with instructions for basic knitting techniques.
- Simple Stitch Library - clear instructions for the basic stitches that will be most useful for the beginner and the less experienced knitter.
- Advanced Work - this section includes some challenging stitches and stitch combinations for the keen knitter and offers some new ideas to try.
- Creating Your Own Designs - shows you how to personalize your work by combining color and texture, and adding decorative details.
- Finishing - how to press, finish, and make up your knitted pieces.
