Knitty Gritty

Learn how to knit with plain-English instructions explaining how to read and follow patterns. There's a new generation of knitters out there, turning the traditional image of granny-knitters on its head. Everyone has heard of the mantra 'knitting is the new yoga', but you might not be lucky enough to have a knitting friend hanging around to show you the ropes and get you started on your very first row. The so-called 'beginners' patterns' that you might turn to can also be confusing, difficult to follow, and more often than not written in 'knit' rather than English. Knitty Gritty is a tried-and-tested guide for complete beginners, with simple guidance and patterns for projects that you can use to make that first all-important step 'Beyond the Scarf'.
