Perfect for beginners’ knitwear course, to get a rounded understanding of the machine and capabilities.
It covers a wide range of single bed machine knitting techniques and includes inspirational images of knitted samples and garments. The book features technical information explaining how to knit many of the stitches, with clear diagrams and useful tips and hints. I will be recommending this book to all levels, as it has something to offer even the more experienced final year student.
This is a very clear a concise approach to machine knitting and design.
The book is beautifully written with a lot of excellent illustrations. The pictures of knitted designs are inspiring and relevant to contemporary fashion. An overall excellent book.
