Kait Jarum Dua is written by Zainon Mohd Nor Al-Yunani. The knowledge of knitting is written in Bahasa Melayu for the first time. There is some tips at the beginning as text, not really informative and not really attracted to look at.

Illustrated techniques in teaching how to knit. But since this is the first time I read a BM knitting book, I have to adjust myself to understand the different abbreviations. For example :

M.K. (Mata Kaitan) = Stitches
A.K. (Awan Ketumbar) = Stockinette Stitch
K. (Ketumbar) = Knit
A.J. (Awan Jagung) = Garter Stitch
J. (Jagung) = Purl

After understand the Malay version of abbreviations, now you can start your projects. 50% of the projects in this book are for babies. The projects are easy as they only use the basic stitches, knit and purl. And there’s still description of the abbreviation in every single project.

There’s 8 “Bunga Kaitan” (Stitch pattern) at the back. Including ribs, laces and checkered pattern. A full page of the image of pattern on the left side will be helpful for you to check stitch counts.

This shouldn’t be your first book of knitting if you want to have more choices of project patterns. It would be easier if you learn knitting abbreviation in English at first. Less confusing.
