Learn to Knit

25 quick and easy knitting projects to get you started

You've bought the needles, chosen some yarn and now you need a guide. Learning to knit is great fun, but you'll want to start with the basic techniques and some quick and easy projects that you can complete in an evening or over a weekend.

This knitting book starts with a comprehensive techniques section that will help you to understand the basic stitches, casting on and binding off, increasing and decreasing, ribbing and more. Then there are a range of simple projects for hats, scarves, and items for the home, so that you can practice your skills and discover the joy of knitting.

To accompany the book, Fiona has created a series of beginner's knitting video tutorials which you can watch here.
