Additionally, why not knit yourself a pretty blanket, a throw or a cushion cover for your home? All patterns have been thoroughly tested and give clear instructions with diagrams and charts where necessary. With a comprehensive introduction to the techniques of this beautiful craft, this book is your one-stop guide to knitting.
