Very Easy Circular Knits: Simple Techniques and Step-By-Step Projects for the Well-Rounded Knitter

This book gives a very detailed explanation of how to knit with both circular needles and double pointed needles. It does NOT cover using 1 or 2 circular needles to make small tubes for socks, etc. I found the directions easy to understand, and the pictures are excellent. I finally understood how to cast on and knit with double pointed needles by using this book. I also discovered that I hate dpns and don't ever want to knit on them again!! Using 2 circular needles is much easier. The author really covers just about everything that you'd need to know. The patterns are nice, but since many of them are on dpns, I probably won't be making many, but that is not the fault of the book. The stitch patterns in the last section are really nice. They are all written in the round, and she has a nice variety. Using this book has inspired me to knit my hats in the round with 16" circular needles. And, someone suggested usins 11" circular needles for the decreases at the crown in the place of dpns. Sounds good to me. If you'd like to learn about knitting in the round, this is a great resource.

I love this book!! It has a wide variety of projects, including hats and mittens and gloves, socks, pillows, and toys, and more!! Beginners will be treated to lots of pages on specific knitting techniques for knitting in the round, and the wide variety of projects will please anyone who loves circular knitting.
