Knitting Pretty: Simple Instructions for 30 Fabulous Projects

Experience the joy, creativity, and color of knitting with beginner-friendly projects from bookmarks to cell phone cozies to home décor. At long last, a knitting book that’s certifiably hip. Aimed at the rapidly growing new generation of knitters, Knitting Pretty offers up thirty smart-looking projects presented in language ordinary human beings can understand. Perfect for the beginner, the user-friendly basics section features step-by-step illustrations and instructions for everything the knitter on the make needs to know. The unique patterns—from cozy caps, scarves, and mittens, to pillow covers, kooky sock puppets, and even a paperweight—come with easy-to-follow instructions, helpful diagrams, and beautiful full-color photographs of the finished projects. From quick and easy projects to somewhat grander endeavors for the more experienced, Knitting Pretty makes it a pleasure to whip up warm and woolly masterpieces. “This work should appeal to the same age demographic as Judith L. Swartz’s Hip to Knit, but it is more targeted to the beginner and includes much more basic knitting instruction and projects that are easier to knit, including such modern-day accoutrements as a cell-phone cozy and a simple headband for skiers.” —Library Journal
