Kids Knit! - Simple Steps to Nifty Projects
Author: Sarah Bradberry
Don't settle for the same store-bought scarf that everyone else is wearing. Forget about buying any old toy for your cat. Why not knit purses, puppets, and headbands that are uniquely your own? Anyone can knit~boys and girls, kids and adults. Once you learn the stitches and a few simple techniques, you can knit while you're watching TV, riding the school bus, or hanging out with friends.
Once you know how totally cool knitting is, you'll want to try it. This easy-to-understand book will teach you how to knit and offers 20 great projects you can make for yourself and others.
Find out what tools you'll need to get started and learn all the skills as you make each project. Casting on, or putting stitches onto your needles, is the first thing you'll do anytime you knit. Binding off is the most common way of finishing a project so that it won't unravel.
Now you're ready to begin knitting! Some of the projects are small and can be completed quickly, like a scrunchie and headband. Others, like a doll blanket and backpack, will take a little longer to finish but are well worth the time spent making them. There are also perfect gifts for your Mom (place mats), best friend (amulet bag), and teacher (kite bookmark).
You will have a great time learning something new and making great projects at the same time.
