Learn to Knit Cables on Looms

Knitting has always been a craft that I was not good at.  For some reason my hands and brain would never connect to make the stitch correctly and I always have to count and count and count to make sure I wasn't skipping a stitch.  About a month ago I discovered knitting looms which makes knitting so easy!

Learn to Knit Cables and Looms by Isela Phelps contains 9 patterns that can be made on a knitting loom.  Patterns range from a baby sweater to a backpack and a throw.  My two favorite are the slipper socks and the hand warmers.

Each pattern comes with a color picture and easy to follow instructions.  There is also a skill level gauge for each pattern, although each pattern seemed to be at a more advanced level.  If you are just a beginner other books might be able to help you more. I also watched videos on YouTube which was helpful.

If you are curious about knitting but don't know where to start check out the loom knitting books at the library.
