Review
"This little book should be in every knitter's knitting bag."  —Knitting News


"The overall volume of 'gotta know' information presented in such a handy format make[s] this a truly indispensable tool."  —Monsters & Critics.com


"There are several excellent reference books on the market. One of my favorites is The Knitters Companion."  —Anchorage Daily News


"The best grab and go knitting book...The color illustrations alone are worth buying this new and improved version."  —Knitty.com


"This newly expanded and updated version is even better...The price remains exactly the same, a bargain at under $20."  —Knit 'N Style


"A spiffier version of Square's decade-old all-you-need-to-know reference...much here for dyed-in-the-woolies."  —Yarn Market News


"The original, published in 1996, was a great standard reference but the new edition has a lot of cool features."  —KnittingNewsCast.com


"If you don't yet have a good reference book in your knitting library, I strongly recommend The Knitter's Companion."  —Knitter's Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely one of my knitting companions, January 9, 2002
By Erica "e-kitty" (Illinois - United States) - See all my reviews
I love this book. I refer to this book for help on which way a decrease slants to easy-to-understand explanations for my beginning knitting class handouts. I never thought such a small knitting book could contain so much wonderful information. It's small enough to throw in your knitting bag, but it contains almost all of the information you would need from a bigger book. If the Knitter's Companion doesn't have what I'm looking for, it usually tides me over until I can get home and consult my Vogue Knitting book. I've only had to wait once, so it's definitely a very helpful little book. I love the gauge ruler and needle-size helper (can't think of the right word) in the back. If you want one book to help you with all of the little knitting things that you need to know to be a successful knitter or to consult for a quicker refresher -- this is your book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for beginner's!, May 4, 1999
By A Customer
I've been knitting for awhile but always have problems with correcting mistakes. This book shows with easy text and good diagrams how to take out stitches and pick up dropped stitches. I'm just learning socks and the diagram for Kitchener stitch is good too. I was never very good seaming but have improved dramatically because of these easy directions. This little book stays in my knitting bag no matter what I'm working on. Experienced knitter's would probably not find this book of much use.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best knitting book I have found, hands down., March 29, 2000
By T. Bikerman (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have recently started to knit, and had several books and patterns that supposedly showed what to do. This book has the clearest illustrations of what is actually going on with the yarn and needles I have come across. It also has everything I have needed so far. Need to increase? There are several methods shown. Want to try Continental knitting instead of American? This is where I learned it. I can't emphasize how great this book is. Just let me say it is ALWAYS in my bag, and is as cherished as my grandmother's crochet hook!
