First Knits: Simple Projects for Knitters

If only every beginner's knitting book was as clear and easy to use as this one! Organized into three broad chapters, starting with patterns that involve knit only, moving on to knit and purl, and culminating in simple color knitting, this complete resource guides you through 17 projects, from a simple scarf to a soft rabbit. Step-by-step sequences integrated into each pattern show exactly what your knitting needles should be doing, while ready-reference foldout flaps mean you never have to let go of your knitting for a moment.

The Harmony Guides have been longstanding references for more than thirty years, with over half a million worldwide sales. Fully revised and updated with eye-catching photography and innovative new stitches, these really will be the only reference titles on your bookshelves. Kate Haxell was taught to knit by her grandmother, but only discovered she was holding the needles wrongly twenty years later. Since then she has worked with several knitters and learned many new skills.
