A charming how-to-knit classic packed with delightfully vintage advice

'I know of no home-craft that enjoys the universal popularity of knitting.'

nostalgic patterns, is the classic guide, now reissued for a modern audience.

Along with telling you how to knit, The Penguin Knitting Book includes a wide-range of original vintage patterns. Here you'll find hats and scarves, jumpers, cardigans, baby clothes, even a tea cosy and a coat for the family dog, in this charming guide to better knitting.

Reviews for The Penguin Knitting Book

[In the late 1960s] there was a chap called James Norbury, who had his own knitting show on the BBC. I sat in on some of the programmes, and good stuff it was, too. I learned lots of racy stuff about 'knit one, purl one' * Sir David Attenborough * Knitting is the saving of a life * Virginia Woolf * The strongest single influence in British knitting -- Richard Rutt, author of 'A History of Hand Knitting'
