First KnitsStep by Step Projects for Knitting Novices
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

If only all first knitting books were as simple to use as this! Organized into three chapters, the book starts with knit only patterns, moves onto knit and purl patterns in Chapter Two and culminates in simple colour knitting in Chapter Three. Authors Luise Roberts and Kate Haxell look over the beginner’s shoulder throughout and guide them every step of the way.
The book is carefully structured so that new techniques are learned in the Workshop sections and then put into practise in the projects. Patterns start with a simple scarf, bootees, hat and cushion, and move on to the more complex pom-pom hat and kimono jacket. The final chapter includes colour work, with designs for a beach bag and socks among others. Integrated into each pattern are step-by-step sequences, so that, for example, where the notation says, ‘skpo, k2tog’, you’ll find a reassuring two-step sequence showing exactly what your knitting needles should be doing.
At key shaping stages, there are more photographs to show what your garment should look like at that stage. It’s a great way to compare your own knitting with the teacher’s, so you can ensure you are always on track. The useful ready-reference fold-out flaps mean you never have to let go of your knitting for a moment.
