How to Start Knitting

‘Hey you, yes, you! Let me teach you how to knit.’

From casting on to casting off, learn the fundamentals of knitting and discover 10 fun, chunky projects with self-taught knitwear designer Brenda Lam!

Learning how to knit can be daunting – not everyone is blessed with a friend or family member who can show them the ropes. While learning the basics (and not-so-basics) can be slightly intimidating, it’s helpful to have a seasoned knitter by your side as you enter your knitting era.

Popular chunky knitwear designer Brenda Lam shows you everything you need to know:

• The fundamental tools, yarns, stitches and techniques required to get started
• Things I Wish I’d Known, where Brenda shares her favorite tips and tricks
• A Troubleshooting section, for when you''re not quite sure where a stitch has gone wrong (we’ve all been there!)
• Simple stitches, the basics on how to read a pattern, and a chapter on how to finish your work
• 10 colorful, chunky projects to test out your new skills, including some scrappy mittens or, if you’re feeling ambitious, a sweater vest.

With its witty and welcoming tone, this book is perfect if you''re looking to take your first step into the knit-o-sphere.
