It never gets old, the start of a new knitting project. No matter how long we have been knitters (and we proudly confirm that we are decades into it), the fun of a novel yarn and a fresh pattern endures. It’s always great, every time.
If you’re just starting out as a knitter, it may surprise you that beginner patterns aren’t just for beginners. Even experienced knitters love a simple, well-designed pattern. We knit for lots of reasons, including pleasure and relaxation. Simple knitting can yield a favorite garment or accessory.
This Field Guide celebrates this kind of knitting. If you are at the start of your knitting journey, you have so much to discover. If you’re a seasoned veteran, you’re going to love basking in the ease of these projects.
