About This Book

A practical manual that opens with a concise glossary of knitting terms and guidance on a standard filiére (gauge), then explains basic operations such as casting on, increasing, decreasing, ribbing, and turning. The main body presents numerous reworked patterns and stitch diagrams for household and wearable items — quilts, shawls, baby hoods and bonnets, caps, bags, purses, edgings, doyleys and Shetland motifs — offering varied textures, borders, insertions, and raised or open stitches to aid home knitters in producing decorative and utilitarian pieces.

First row—bring the silk forward, slip one; knit two together, pass the slip-stitch over them; bring the silk forward, knit one.—Repeat.
