Reviews

Colorful photos of finished products may tempt young knitters to take on projects as simple as a headband or as ambitious as a wrap skirt. The knitted portion always produces a rectangle, which is then sewn, shaped, and decorated. For beginners and others needing a refresher, the “Knitting Basics” chapter offers illustrated information on knitting needles, materials, slipknots, casting on, binding off, and finishing projects. The basic knit stitch, or garter stitch, is the only one used in the book. A handy troubleshooting page shows how to pick up a dropped stitch. The step-by-step directions are generally pretty good, and the additional tips, which appear in white circles, are often helpful. Closing out the presentation, a chapter called “Fun Stuff” offers directions for making functional and decorative elements such as braided and knitted cords, button loops, fringes, pom-poms, knitted or fabric flowers, and embroidery. These project ideas are best suited to kids who know how to knit but are not quite ready to purl. Grades 4-6. --Carolyn Phelan
