Product Description
Review
""Simple Hip Knit""Scarves "is really what the market needs--a collection of fashion scarves to encourage the knitter to the next step." --Linda Pratt, Westminster Fibers Whatever style you're looking for, take your pick from patterns of classic scarves, a capelet, cowls, skinnies and more, in a range of different yarns. UK readers may need to substitute the US yarns used, but it's easy to do - even if the tension doesn't work out exactly the same and the scarf ends up slightly different in size, it's no big deal. Most of them are easy to make and relatively inexpensive, since they use such little yarn, except the one worked in four balls of Noro Iro, which is fairly expensive, but just beautiful.-Knit Today

4 conventional scarf shapes, one capelet, two cowl styles, two skinnies, one lace, one loose cable, one wavy, one stripey, one in strands and one crossover neckwarmer.
Yarns vary in thickness, it doesn't really matter if you can't use exactly the same yarn as tension is given and the "0" (fine laceweight yarn) to "5" bulky indicator is shown, so you can see what's needed. Absolute sizing isn't crucial for anything in here.
All are wearable and most are easy to make. The one using Rowan Kidsilk which is a pricey yarn only uses one ball so ends up being bearable. However the stranded one uses 4 balls of Noro Iro which is a chunky yarn and not cheap so some scarves cost a lot more than others. The green one on the cover uses chunky weight wool and alpaca, it says it takes 5 oz and for something measuring about 12" x 8" that's pretty extraordinary. The wool and angora scarf (4 balls needed) has gaps along its length, allowing it to be pulled through and looks cosy and comfortable. All in all, not a bad mix. The book doesn't cost a fortune, and neither will the scarves if other brands/yarn types are substituted.
Instructions are fine, clear and easy to follow.

14 great to knit, great to wear scarves. Pretty little neckwarmers, long scarves, fringed scarves and one small capelet as well as one design for men. Unusual patterns - some thought has gone into the design. Should be a hit. UK knitters please note, these are American yarns, you will probably need to substitute yarn. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.

Not a beginners book....
27 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Scarves are great.... patterns are complex. I wouldn't recommend this book for beginners.
Otherwise, 5 stars.
If you are beginning, select a beautiful yarn, and showcase it with an interesting pattern (a 3/2 rib can be very nice), and you'll learn the basics without stressing over complex patterns. You can make it as long/short as you wish, and your introduction to knitting will be pleasant!
Enjoy!

I loved the patterns in this book. It was easy to follow and understand. I have read through the patterns but I have not actually knit one yet but look forward to knitting one in the near future.
