I demonstrated one of the patterns, which is knit in the round, and uses any even number of stitches. You can watch it here.
I like paperback books, but I don't like how the pages don't lie flat when you have the book open. I took my copy to Staples and had it spiral bound. I also had the front and back covers laminated since I carry this book around in my backpack.
The covers are still nice and pretty even though this book has been carried around with me for at least a year.
Happy Knitting!
