This book offers a “Quick Start for Kids” to get kids knitting in no time! These 12 projects are easy to complete if you take the time to learn the basics. The first couple of pages introduce you to the different types of “cool” yarn that are out there and materials you need to have on hand besides your knitting needles. Once you successfully learn how to cast your needle, you can practice knitting, purling, binding off and learning how to fix mistakes such as dropping a stitch or going too long or too short on a row. When you feel comfortable with the basics, you’re ready to get into the different projects, rated by a scale of one to three to show the difficulty of the project. Choose from a range of “in style” projects, such as a sparkly scarf, twist & twinkle tassel hat, a poncho, mittens, and a turtle neck for your canine friend! No matter which project you choose, the instructions clearly tell you what materials you need, give you stitch instructions, and have great color-coded diagrams that show you any other new skills you need to know to complete your knitting creation! If you are looking for a quick and easy way to get your child started with a fun and hip knitting project, this book is perfect for you! 64 pgs, pb. - elise
