"Think you're too young? Think you're too old? Author Melanie Falick teaches kids of all ages how to knit with fifteen easy projects, from bouncy beanbags to a rolled-edge sweater. Using straighforward language, step-by-step instructions, and bright candy-colored illustrations, beginners learn the basics, including finger knitting, casting on and binding off, the knit, purl, and stockinette stitches, knitting in the round, and shaping. Artist Kristin Nicholas's attention-grabbing boxes of reds, greens, and blues explain everthing from button sewng to tassel tying. Chris Hartlove's photographs feature finished projects modeled by a delightful cast of young knitters. Best of all, kids get to have fun creating things they can actually use - bookmarks, backpacks, bracelets - and knitting is an activity that can be shared with family and friends.
Knitting occupies idle hands. Knitting broadens attention spans. You can knit when you sit or when you stand. You can knit in a car or in a van. Knitting's not hard - anyone can. So cast on and bind off for adventures in kids knitting!
Book: soft cover, 127 pages, 15 patterns & lots of instructions, pictures, & information about knitting (for example where yarn comes from; explanation of sheep-to-shawl; how to make your own knitting tote bag, & more)
