This 2-in-1 learn to knit course helps you build your knitting skills one square at a time and then join them together to create a beautiful blanket. Author Anna Pantelous is the designer behind the popular 'Annaplexis' website and the designer behind the #tutorialthrow. This practical guide explains all the basic knitting stitches and techniques. Each of the 50 knitted swatches focuses on a different skill and builds on the previous squares, taking you from absolute beginner to confident knitter in no time. Includes everything from casting on, the knit and purl stitches, shaping, slip stitches and colourwork, through to more advanced techniques such as knitting in the round and mosaic knitting. All of the lessons have step-by-step instructions and photography so they're very easy to follow. There are video tutorials for many of the squares for additional support. In addition to the 50 squares there are instructions for how to join them together to make one large blanket or a smaller baby blanket. Grab your copy now and start your knitting journey.
