Fills a great niche:
A lot of pattern books delete children this age, or give a lot of stodgy patterns that would take so long to knit that kids would outgrow them. These are fashionable, well designed, and very lucid patterns with lots of extra explanations and help along the way. Anyone who can do basic knitting could knit any of these garments. They are not meant to be challenging, but that is a compliment. They are very usable. They only tiny complaint I could squeak out is that they are all for back and forth knitting, and I wish more patterns in the round were written for this age group, especially by such fashionable designers. Otherwise, this is one of the few books I chose to buy.
Just what i was looking for:
Finally, a book of adorable patterns for older kids!!!! Very cute patterns!!!!
Great Ideas......tough yarn choices:
I really like the patterns in the book, and my daughter wants me to make several of them. The authors put a disclaimer in the book that the yarn choices are suggestions.....and you have to take them that way. Otherwise you are looking at a $150 sweater for a child. Many of the yarns are doubled so you have to really make that gauge swatch!
Great Knitting Resource!:
This book has everything I could want in a knitting book, and what's best is it really fits a niche. Recommended!
Ellen's view:
While I have not actually made one of the items yet I plan on making a few. I have had a very hard time finding patterns for older children and this looks ideal. Thanks,
