Front Cover

My First Pattern Book

$15.00

This book is designed to cover the built in features of the knitting machine as well as teach basic techniques through the use of patterns.

Features of the machine to be covered are fairisle, tuck, slip, lace, weaving, and knitting every other needle with heavier yarns. Ribbed cuffs will also be used. Beginners as well as accomplished knitters will enjoy the patterns in this book.

Many basic techniques are in you manuals. Be sure to read them. Many have good illustrations.

Remember, knitting is not rocket science. There is room for variation, interpretation and personal preference. Just because I use one method, it is not the only method to be used. Try my way; try someone else's way. Now come up with your own way. If it works for you, it must be right.

Techniques to be acquired are casting on, binding off, short rowing, straight line shaping, latching panels, single motif and more.

Includes four lessons to acquire basic skills.

• Stocking Hat

• Scarf

• Christmas Stocking

• Child's Sweater

The lesson patterns are lengthy, just to explain the "what and why for" of each step. After the lessons, the patterns that follow are written much like ones you will find in many knitting books.
