Learn to Knit Afghan - Barbara G Walker

This excellent learn-to-knit book is ideal for new and intermediate knitters. Following instructions for basic casting on and stitch structure, a logical progression of patterns will lead you through: knit-purl, mosaic, slip stitch, twist-stitch patterns, cables, increase/decrease, and lace. When the 63rd square is finished, there will be very little you do not know about stitch-pattern techniques, and you will have a snug and beautiful afghan as a bonus.
