Читать книгу One-Stitch Baby Knits - Val Pierce - Страница 6

Knitting is a fun and relaxing craft that has increased in popularity over the years. Once deemed a craft for older folks, it has now become a big favorite with the younger community. Even schools are introducing the craft into their curriculum.

The yarns available to knitters in stores and online are many and varied, and the array of sumptuous colors and textures to choose from makes creating your own knitted projects a sheer delight.

Once you have mastered the very basics of casting on and off, the knit stitch, and making a simple square, you will be keen to start knitting your very own projects. With this in mind, I have designed 22 easy projects to knit for babies. Using different yarn changes, yarn textures, and the odd slipstitch, you will be able to create blankets, hats, sweaters, and mittens that will look anything but simple.

The majority of projects in this book have little or no shaping. They have no neckbands to pick up and no front bands to sew on, which means they can be attempted by even the novice knitter. That said, it must be stated that there are also some designs included in this book that are better attempted by more experienced knitters. A star rating will show you which projects you should attempt first. As you progress with your knitting skills, you can move on to the more complex designs. Whatever your knitting skills are now, I feel sure that you will find something among the designs that you will love!
