Description
This book includes 30 simple, straight lined knitting patterns for jumpers, tops, cardigans, jackets, hats and throws. Most projects are knit in bulky wools, so they come together quickly. It presents projects that are easy enough for beginners to understand and make, but stylish enough for everyone! The Yarn Girls have selected 30 of their most popular basic-but-beautiful projects from trendy polo-necks and classic cardigans to sexy tanks. Each project includes pointers to ensure that the finished project will fit properly and look amazing. There are also patterns for accessories, such as hats and scarves, as well as something for the guys and cozy throws for the home. Each pattern is designed to reinforce the fundamentals of knitting and help tentative knitters gain confidence. Clearly illustrated sections on techniques, plus a glossary and the Yarn Girls' helpful tips throughout, virtually guarantee a successful outcome.
