The Art of Seamless Knitting is the go-to hands-on reference book that will be a staple in any knitter's library.

Reviews

Rarely do knitting books contain both gorgeous patterns and authoritative information on technique; this title is a notable exception. The background information about seamless knitting is useful, and the patterns are beautiful. --Library Journal
