The Knitter's Handbook by Elaine Rowley and Rick Mondragon

From casting on the first stitch, through all the basic and a few fancy stitch manoeuvres, to fastening in the last end, The Knitter's Handbook shows how to do it.

Learn the processes, see them in use, discover how to prevent problems and fix mistakes. Up-to-date information on industry standards for yarn weights, fit and sizing are in included. In a craft that is largely self-taught, The Knitter's Handbook is as valuable a resource for the experienced knitter as it is for the novice.
