Learn to Knit

Learn to Knit by Patons is the ultimate guide for those new to knitting. It includes all the basics to get you started, inspiring projects, and step by step instructions.

The book covers tools and equipment, how to select yarn, useful knitting stitches and styles such as stripes, colourwork, cables, bobbles and much more. Each project is accompanied by instructions for the various techniques used in the pattern.

Stitches, techniques and projects are all illustrated with clear photographs to help you every step of the way, so you can see what the knitting should look like when it's complete.

Fun projects are included for you to practice your new skills - progress from the simplest headband or beanie through to more challenging cabled sweaters, lace shawls and colourwork blankets. Thick yarns and large needles are used as they're easy for beginners to handle.

Please note: equivalent yarns for projects are readily available as substitutes. Please contact us for yarn and needle suggestions.
