But, I had to for this little book. I am truly a beginner. And a complete dummy when it comes to reading directions. I'm a "show me" kind of person. But, this little book is SOOOO easy to understand & follow. It packs a large deal of great information in such a small book. I get frustrated if I have to wade thru a bunch of, what I call "filler" directions. This is straight to the point & easy to understand wording & photos. I can't recommend this book enough. Worth ever penny! Review: Best beginner knitting book I’ve found so far - I’ve bought a few how-to books on knitting. A lot of them have very hard to decipher diagrams, but this one has been really easy to follow. Plus it has a step by step approach so that you can learn and practice each stitch pattern. This is the book I pack with my knitting supplies when I travel. I love it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #120,739 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #67 in Knitting Kits | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,466) | | Dimensions | 8.6 x 1 x 11 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1589238052 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1589238053 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | August 1, 2014 | | Publisher | Creative Publishing int'l | ## Images ![First Time Knitting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91fBJKkrK6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Beginner Book Ever *by S***T on December 27, 2022* I don't normally take the time to write a review, even tho I do read them.

A lot of them have very hard to decipher diagrams, but this one has been really easy to follow. Plus it has a step by step approach so that you can learn and practice each stitch pattern. This is the book I pack with my knitting supplies when I travel. I love it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine to help teach knitting *by S***E on December 4, 2023* I teach knitting at a senior center. I am left handed and have found teaching right handers to knit is confusing to both. Sometimes a video is not good enough. The well-photographed steps for the knit and purl stitches available in print, along with my verbal encouragement, make for excellent completion of each stitch. ## Frequently Bought Together - First Time Knitting (First Time, 2) (Volume 2) - Knitting Tips & Techniques - Knitting for the Absolute Beginner (Absolute Beginner Craft) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/22004806-first-time-knitting](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/22004806-first-time-knitting) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
