My First Book of Knots: A Beginner's Picture Guide (180 color illustrations)

Absolutely an easy way to learn how to do macrame!! I’ve already learned two techniques and made a keychain!! Every page is in color so it’s very clear to see what the directions are telling you to do! Awesome!!

I got this for my son for his birthday and I am so glad I got it! I looked at quite a few but decided on this one because of the illustrations. It has everything from basic knots, tying a tie, fishing knots, and everything in between. It is such a great book and I know he's going to love it. Highly recommend!

I was never much of a knot person, even in my days as a Boy Scout, but "My First Book of Knots" is a great reference for those that want to learn knot-tying. The book goes over a fair amount of useful knots, sorted by category, and also mentions the right application for each knot, which I think is very important. Most of the instruction on tying the particular knot comes from the illustrations which are very colorful and easy to see. There is also mention of variants in the knots to accomplish specific tasks. However a few of the illustrations are of just one picture and not step-by-step (mostly variants of knots), and I find that some of these pictures are better viewed on a tablet screen instead of over a smartphone because of the small size. Nevertheless, you should be able to find a knot for any type of situation and this book is a great aid in finding that particular knot.

Very good condition! Easy to understand, for anyone! Thank you!

This book was a gift to my 8 year-old grandson for Christmas who recently became a Cubscout. Unfortunately, the electric dirt bike trumped the knot book but I expected that. I was quite pleased with the knot book myself and I'm sure my grandsoneventually will be too. The illustrations are beautiful, the instructions are clear (all except on one knot that neither I nor my son-in-law could figure out), and the applications of the knots were adequately explained. I would highly recommend this book for someone of any age. I have one suggestion for knot-book authors. My old knot book came with a hard cover that had holes in it and included a nice piece of cord. Still have it, still practice my knots with that book and cord.

Got this for my son for his 8th birthday. It’s been a solid favorite for both him and his younger sister all year. Easy to follow pictures for independent study. He learned so much from this he was even able to teach knots to his Cub Scout leader!

This is a well written knots book that works well with our preteen grandkids. The guidance is easy to follow, the full-color graphics are well done and interesting, the selection of knots is about right for beginners -- covers many uses. We bought a second one for our other grandson. In addition to the graphics showing how to tie the knots, they show the knots being used in various settings to demonstrate them.

Love this for the grandkids!

Adorei 100%! Este livro é excelente! Material de qualidade, impressões coloridas e as páginas convidativas.

Easy to understand illustrations, a good book for a first time, older knotter.

Full of colorful illustrations. Loved reading it. The intermediate steps are very useful andare very easy to follow even for a kid. The part that describes "where it's used" is really crisp and makes each knot interesting and gives context when and where to use. Really worth the money.

Fun activity to do with the kids! Lovely stories along with each knot

Decent purchase
