Knit How is the classic learn-to-knit book, stocked by more independent yarn stores than any other beginner book. Now, straight from the needles of Pom Pom, comes a fresh edition of this all-time favourite, with all-new photography, a bright new design, and two new patterns!

One size: 82.5 cm / 32½“ wide x 35 cm / 13¾” deep

Yarn: The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers x Spincycle Yarns Spinster’s Daughter Worsted (worsted weight; 100% superwash American wool; 183 m / 200 yds per approx 113-g / 4-oz skein)
Shade: Old Man Coyote; 2 skeins
OR approx 202 m / 221 yds of worsted weight yarn
note: Sample shown used one entire skein with almost no yarn left over; two skeins are recommended to allow a buffer for swatching and minor gauge variation.

Gauge: 15 sts & 34 rows = 10 cm / 4” over garter stitch on 5-mm / US 8 needles after blocking

Needles: 5 mm / US 8 circular needle, of at least 60 cm / 24” length (for working a large number of stitches flat)
Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.
