The time-honored craft of knitting meets today?s colorful and
funky styles in Easy Knitted Accessories. 25 projects for
scarves, hats, bags, gloves and socks have a fun, contemporary
look and are fast and easy to knit. Readers are first led
through the basics of the techniques (including knitting with
color, knitting with beads, changing colorways and
embroidery) and then the book moves on to step-by-step
instructions, photos and illustrations for each project.
Readers will enjoy creating accessories like baby booties, hats
with earflaps, gloves with beads, funky beach bags, snuggly leg
warmers and much more. Complete instruction on techniques
allows the reader to learn from scratch or brush up on their
skills. Full-color photos of each finished project inspire
knitters to create and enjoy these great accessories.
