Transform your knitting with professional finishing techniques to create beautifully constructed garments.

Whether you are knitting your first sweater or refining advanced skills, How to Finish Your Knits gives you the confidence to complete garments and homewares with precision. Clear step-by-step instructions, detailed photography, and helpful illustrations guide readers through mattress stitch, sweater construction, blocking, weaving in ends, and picking up stitches. The three timeless seamed sweater and cardigan patterns provide the opportunity to practise new techniques while creating wearable knits.

 

I recently started to relearn knitting and thought this book might be a useful read. How to Finish Your Knits concentrates predominantly on seaming but also looks at picking up stitches, weaving ends and blocking the finished pieces. The book is illustrated throughout and I found the instructions and accompanying pictures clear and easy to follow. I can see this being a useful resource for those making knitted garments and looking for the best assembly methods for the separate pieces. I am giving it 4.5 stars.

I received this book as a free eBook ARC via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
