Product Description
Product Description
Teach your children all the basics of knitting with this easy-to-follow guide. In Knitting for Children, Claire Montgomerie shares the secrets of her successful knitting classes that show little ones how to create their own toys, accessories and clothes. Packed with great projects suitable for children aged 7-12, and with each project just a little more advanced than the one before, kids will eagerly progress through the 35 easy-to-follow patterns and variations. The 'Getting started' section gives essential guidance, covering not only all the knitting basics, but also how to finger knit, French knit, make tassels, put together pompoms and more. Claire has chosen yarns that are smooth and simple to knit, with the weight suitable for smaller hands. Start with the snake scarf - it's a fun but easy project that teaches the basics, and once they've mastered this piece, your child will be straight onto the next challenge. They can try the cosy mittens and then move on to a pretty ragdoll, or stitch the cute and colourful v-neck cardigan before making an MP3 player cover. This book provides the perfect way to introduce your child to a fun craft that will be useful for the rest of their life.

Format:Hardcover
The designs in this book are aimed at 7-12 year olds, so there has never been a better time to teach your children to knit. If you are my age, you would have learned to knit at school, doing the boring dishcloth, but this book makes knitting fun. The techniques and basic stitches are clearly shown in writing and photographs. The 35 projects are where the real fun begins and I can see children wanting to knit them. Cowl, mouse mittens, ear flaps, pompom necklace, slippers, flower brooches, heart cushion, teddy, sheriff's badge and the caterpillar were just some of my favourites. This is a great book that children will love to use. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.
