Knitting
Learn to Knit Six Great Projects
BY ANNE AKERS JOHNSON
The easiest how-to-knit kit just got
even better
We love knitting. No other craft has such dual appeal: It’s
simultaneously trendy and traditional, fresh and old-fashioned,
ultra-cool and completely classic. And, thanks to this book,
totally clear and klutz-proof.
Since its publication in 2004, the classic Klutz book Knitting
has taken hundreds of thousands of novice crafters from
step zero (how to hold the needles and yarn) to look-whatI-made finished projects. Unlike other how-to-knit books,
the directions here are clearly explained in plain language
with no confusing abbreviations, diagrams, or codes. The
projects — a long skinny scarf, a cozy hat, a sunglasses case, a
cell phone holder, and more — are all teen-tested and a far cry
from your grandmother’s afghan.
This season, we’ve given Knitting a makeover, with a fresh,
new cover and our favorite wrap-able, stackable, boxy format.
The 96-page instruction book comes complete with
variegated, worsted weight yarn, a pair of bamboo
knitting needles, a crochet hook, two cute buttons,
and a yarn needle. Altogether, it’s everything
anybody needs to start knitting now.
