The hand drawn diagrams are

The hand drawn diagrams are easy to follow & make a good complement to video tutorials. A few of the lessons feel like they're missing a couple intro steps, though!

You'll want to either print it out or have it on a portrait-mode tablet, to consult as you work.

Note that this is a scanned PDF, not accessible to screen readers, word-find search, or reflow viewers.

Misleading Description

I purchased this downloadable book for access to the original patterns, which were written specifically for a beginner (e.g. no use of abbreviations, detailed step-by-step instructions, etc). The description indicates there are patterns (i.e. description says "Patterns require Adobe Reader to view."), but no link to patterns is included in the download links. The only link provided is to the pdf of the instructions (for cast on, cast off, basic stitches etc.) The material included in the download is no better than any free instruction booklet available from the public library. Without the vintage patterns, this is very disappointing. That said, the diagrams are large and clear using easy to see black "yarn" to demonstrate the various skills.
