“This is a very helpful book for any knitter. The diagrams help you learn the stitches using flat knit, in the round knitting, and how to read a chart. I’ve stayed away from charts, but this book helped me understand how to use charts because it displayed them next to the written directions.”

“Great tutorial book! I have many tutorial books, but I’m still trying to remember one as easy to follow and learn as this one. A week after getting this book I knitted a giant beautiful scarf for my best friend, and he loved it. He does still not believe that I knitted it though.”

“I just received the book today. Thank you so much for making knit stitches so easy to understand! The combination of diagram, text, and photos is going to be extremely helpful as I learn to knit.” ~bethyma

“I love Kristen’s new book which has just become available to UK knitters. The instructions are really clear and are accompanied by a photo of a sample for each pattern. I would definitely recommend this book.” ~Janet

“Awesome speedy service and fantastic knitting guide book! I’m already looking forward to using it! A+++ service!” ~Anna-Marie

“I think I am going to like this book. It shows the pattern in a photo, then shows you in words and diagrams on how to achieve the pattern. Everything is shown in a square, but the book tells you how to increase the size by adding x number of multiples to get the size you want. I’ve looked at lots of knitting pattern books and this was the first one I was hopeful about learning anything. Keep your fingers crossed.” ~Mildred

“As a new knitter (we are talking weeks, not months or years) I found the book easy to follow and understand. Great for basic knitting practice. And the pictures are a big help to let me know what it should look like when completed, which isn’t always the case…. yet. Great book, nicely laid out, easy to follow instructions and pictures.” ~Stuart

“My book got here on time. I’ve enjoyed looking at it and I know I will get use of it. The patterns are well written and I like the size of the pictures, helps to make pattern more clear.” ~Cynthia

“An awesome booklet for any knitter. I wish I had this book available when I first started knitting decades ago! Perfect gift for any knitter in your life.” ~Sugaree

“This is an AWESOME book! I’ve already done 4 projects with the patterns from this book. It’s a well made book and the patterns are simple to follow.” ~Bethany

“Great steps and instructions including both straights and circular needles!” ~Stella

“This book is a gem. So many possibilities! I knit a lot of baby blankets and these patterns are new inspiration.” ~Elizabeth

“All stitches/patterns are shown and are super easy to follow. I would recommend this book to all knitters, from beginners to advances. Great resource book.” ~Charcoal
