This book has a basic pattern with measurements to help make the item and make it to fit. Love this book and would buy it in heart beat if my library wasn't so nice about their loan policy (can keep it for a long time as long as no one else wants it).

Best pattern book for knitters of all levels. It is exactly what title suggests, patterns in basic styles and varying sizes. This book is a great value and will be a staple for all knitters.

Incredibly practical. A great go-to book when you want a basic pattern for the yarn you have on hand. Just knit up a swatch, check your gauge and off you go!

ah! this is the one I started a pattern while i was at the library, went home to get my card, came back and it was gone... sigh. I'll get it somehow...

I really want this book. I long to design my own pieces, so the patterns in here would give me a great start.

A recipe for about everything you'd ever want to knit. My copy is rather wounded from heavy use.

I am just learning and this seemed helpful and a little over my head all at the same time!

This is a great knitting book... gives you a basic pattern and lets you design everything else yourself. It makes it really easy to use up that wonderful yarn that you don't have a project for. Knit a swatch, check your gauge and you are ready to go. I've made three hats so far.. one Fibonacci sequence, one based off of an Ethiopian scroll, and one with a cute little top knot.

Very clear instructions for basic shapes, in an endless (seemingly) array of gauges and sizes. I've used this over and over whenever I'm after basic a silhouette to get creative with.

This is one of the most used books in my knitting library. Sure, you could work out all these numbers for yourself, but why when Ann Budd has so graciously done it for you!
