Every knitter at one time or another needs to learn little tricks that help them along their path to becoming a better knitter. Some come from friends, some from your local yarn shop and sometimes you figure things out on your own. Wouldn't it be nice if someone told you about them beforehand saving you from disappointing final results? The answer is right here!

Patty Lyon's Knitting Bag of Tricks, is just what you need. Solve your knitting problems—from edges that won’t behave to getting your yarn tension right—with over 70 brand new knitting hacks! Inspired by questions asked by Patty’s students from around the world, this book features tutorials for knitters of all levels. It also features over 200 technical illustrations to help you learn new skills with clear step-by-step instructions. This is a book about the why of knitting. Not about why we knit, but about why we knit the way we do. By digging deeper into the why Patty doesn't just fix your knitting problems she really helps you to truly understand why the yarn/stitches/needles/tension are acting in a certain way and how to fix any issues. It's like having your friendly local yarn shop staff sitting right next to you!

Cartoons by fan-favorite illustrator Franklin Habit and Patty’s own humorous ‘purls’ of wisdom will resonate with knitters of all abilities and have you laughing while you learn. You're going to love this book!

Patty Lyons is a knitting designer and teacher. She has created classes and materials for Craftsy, Interweave and Vogue Knitting and she writes a regular 'Ask Patty' column for Modern Daily Knitting.
