Book - Big Book of Knitting

This book is big in terms of size but also in terms of the ground it covers, showing beginning (or even advanced) knitters how to do all the basics, such as choosing yarns, casting on, knits, purls, and pattern reading,  but also all the details on finishing a sweater, including edgings, sewn-on facings, necklines, pockets, buttonholes,  and zippers. There are patterns for basic sweater designs, plus one for socks and another for gloves and mittens. 240 pages.
