Created for absolute beginners, Louise Walker's exciting book introduces the basics with plenty of step-by-step photos, and new techniques rolled out as needed. Most of the projects--from a turtle coaster to a bobble hat--use easy-to-handle super-chunky yarn, which makes the stitches very visible and the projects quick and doable. Links to online video tutorials as well as stories from novice knitters working on the projects help beginners identify and fix common mistakes.
