From the Publisher

At long last, a knitting book that s certifiably hip. Aimed at the rapidly growing new generation of knitters, Knitting Pretty offers up 30 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.

    I'm really surprised at the great reviews on this book. It's meant for beginers and while the projects are easy I'm surprised at the lack of instruction on some of them. Take the sweater pattern for instance, there is no schematics and lack of measurements. Sure I could figure out the inches based on gauge, but would a brand new knitter?

    30 simple and beautiful projects that you can wear or use in everyday's life. The instruction is very easy to follow. It tells you what type of techniques will be using in one project and it even tells you at what page you can fine that certain technique. I have read many knitting books and this one is a best book ever. read more

    I'm a teenage knitter, and I've found that this book has some of the easiest instructions in all of the books I've read on knitting. It really does have some really easy instructions and the projects are things you could actually wear or use. I would recommend this book to any beginner knitter. It's fantastic. read more
