Written with the absolute beginner in mind, this book teaches all the basics for learning to knit with step-by-step instructions and photographs. Knitting skills are learned by working on projects, beginning with something very easy and getting progressively more difficult as the reader works through the book. New skills are explored in depth as they are introduced. The introductory section covers all the basics of knitting—selecting yarn, needle types and sizes, other tools and accessories, knitting gauge, casting on, forming stitches, reading patterns—making this the most comprehensive beginner's book available. The accompanying DVD includes a how-to video illustrating all the knitting techniques used to knit the projects.

Carri Hammett is a prolific writer who got her start by designing for customers in the yarn shop she opened in 2002. She loves to collaborate with both readers and customers as together they express their love of knitting and expand their knitting knowledge and skill. She lives in Chanhassen, MN and is the author of several books including Scarves and Shawls for Yarn Lovers , Knitting 101, and Ready, Set, Knit Cables.

"Knitting 101 is written for both beginning knitters and for those who want to learn new skills. The book begins by teaching all the basics of learning to knit with step-by-step instructions and photographs. The wide range of projects in the book includes scarves, hats, a striped rug, a leaf edged shawl, lace curtains, golf club covers, a baby bath robe and much more." - AvaxHome

"Former yarn shop owner and knitwear designer Hammett (Ready, Set, Knit Cables) takes a basics-and-beyond approach in Creative Publishing’s latest addition to their '101' series of how-to books. Each chapter is devoted to a different skill, starting with the basics and moving on to more advanced techniques, such as colorwork and lace knitting. The DVD that accompanies the book includes tutorials that give knitters who are visual learners the opportunity to see the various techniques in action. VERDICT: Beginning knitters interested in branching out beyond knit and purl will appreciate Hammett’s straightforward approach and simple projects." - Library Journal
