What makes a good knitting book?

When you're just starting out with knitting, choosing the right book can make all the difference. You want something that guides you clearly, builds your confidence, and answers your questions before you even realise you have them. At first glance, Knit Step By Step by DK seems like a promising choice—beautifully laid out, packed with step-by-step instructions, and even featuring a tempting swatch library.

But does it actually work for beginners? Let’s take an honest look.
