Useful for beginner and experienced knitters

The author is very upfront with stating that the goal of her book is to teach you how to read a pattern rather than a tutorial on how to knit. (The author does give recommendations for some books that specialize in learning how to knit and of course there are plenty of free online videos to watch if you want to learn.) Being able to understand how to read patterns in my opinion is equally important as knowing how to move your hands with needles and yarn. This book at around 125 pages is very thorough in explaining the different words and abbreviations that might pop up in patterns. There are some illustrations throughout and explanations of the different types of yarn that are sold. The book itself is on the smaller side which makes it a perfect size to fit into most craft bags so you can refer back to it when needed.

Definitely recommend as a book that will be useful to both beginner knitters and those who are a little more experienced with the craft.
