Founder of the UK company Wool Couture, Gelder (Bonnie the Cow & Friends: 20 Loveable Animals & Birds To Crochet Using Chunky Yarn) has written a welcoming book for readers who want to learn how to knit but may not know how to start. This title offers the usual fare of required tools, appropriate needle sizes, and yarn types. Beginner techniques, such as a slip knot and casting on, are the main focus. Readers are also given clear instructions for executing stitches, such as seed, slipping, and much more. The book includes four easy projects and a wonderful introduction to knitting. The illustrations that accompany each lesson rank as the best feature of this guide. All aspects of this book make this a perfect choice for knitting novices.
VERDICT This book will appeal to visual learners. Best for beginners or knitters who want a refresher course.
