Knitting is one of the most popular pastimes—but it never hurts to know how to start and finish!

Though it includes a wide selection of easy-to-follow, step-by-step methods with high-quality supporting details, it’s a highly portable reference that can fit in your knitting bag for easy transport.

But even if you’re beginning from scratch, this book offers a handy overview of tools and materials you need to “cast on” your metaphorical stitch and fully embrace this wonderfully relaxing hobby.
