This easy-to-follow course in lace knitting will transform the complete beginner into an accomplished expert.

Progress from simple eyelet lace to openwork stitching and intricate edgings as you develop the skill and confidence to create beautiful pieces of lace filigree. With step-by-step tuition and a preliminary section explaining all the essentials – yarn, needles, tension, techniques and how to read knitting charts – this guide could not be more accessible.

All of the stitch swatches are clearly photographed and each stitch is provided in both written and chart form, so even novices can start right away. There are also 13 lovely projects to practise your newly acquired skills, including a baby blanket and slippers, an evening bag, a shrug and a jewellery purse.

Each stitch pattern is illustrated in both fine and thicker yarns, so you can choose the look of the finished item. The Very Easy Guide to Lace Knitting will give you the skills and the inspiration to get started.

This is a reissue of the previously best-selling published book The Very Easy Guide to Lace Knitting (9781844486519).

Reviews for The Very Easy Guide to Lace Knitting: Step-By-Step Techniques, Easy-to-Follow Stitch Patterns and Projects to Get You Started

I am very impressed with this book! Although it has a few patterns in this book it is primarily a source book for some beautiful lace patterns. These patterns, which are very well produced and detailed, can then be applied to any knitting you might need to add some decoration. I knit a lot of socks and can see me adding panels of lace to a plain sock. This could be applied to any garment you may need to add interest. The photographs are very clear and text is easy to read and understand. All the patterns are in written and chart form. There are several useful techniques listed and I personally found the article on blocking your completed work extremely informative. This very well-presented book is a brilliant book for any knitter's library. -- Heather Tucker * Amazon Customer Review * Here's an easy-to-follow book, with 13 projects, to give the inspiration and skills to transform beginners into accomplished experts. All the swatches have clear photos and each stitch has both written and chart form, so even novices can start right away. * Machine Knitting Monthly *
