If you've wondered about knitting but never gotten up the nerve to try it, this is the perfect booklet for you. Designed by Theresa Bellville of Little Turtle Knits (who designed so many of the wonderful knitting patterns we offer), this is aimed at absolute beginners. She explains everything, with clear pictures and specific directions. The booklet covers casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, binding off, and more. It also includes a pattern for a cute hat to get you started.

The 44-page booklet is spiral-bound, printed on 8.5x11 paper.

A tiny excerpt is pictured at left, where you can see the level of detail that is explained and pictured. The unique hat you'll learn how to make is pictured below; a skein of our natural or beautifully dyed merino yarn makes a wonderful accompaniment to the booklet, so you can start creating beautiful things.

I've seen knitting books that cost two and three times this much and left me absolutely befuddled; this one isn't confusing, and it also supports a small, US-based business. I highly recommend it.
