There are a lot of cute projects in here, but there are no instructions for sizing an item up or down. This obviously doesn't much matter for things like scarves, but it would be nice to be able to make the mittens and socks in various sizes, and unfortunately, I am not adept enough at knitting to know how to adjust the patterns myself. For example, the hedgehog mittens on the cover "should fit an average child of 7-10 years", which is disappointing to me as a 31 year old woman who wants to wear them. :(
I am just completing my first scarf - the fox - as a Christmas gift for my grand nephew. I will knit the raccoon next for another grand nephew. My only suggestion for improvement would be more hints on how to customize the patterns for different animals.
I agree with most of the other 5 star reviews. Love it! The only thing I did not like was the fact that the stockinette stitches all curl & I wanted my scarves to be flat. I am a fairly experienced knitter, so I changed the stitch choices to seed stitch (faces) & twisted rib (bodies).Now I get flat scarves and texture at the same time. I am absolutely thrilled with the results.
This book exceeded expectations. The patterns are fun, clear instructions, the possibility of personal adaptations and several tips on how to accomplish the projects. If you are knitting for the young at heart, regardless of age, this is a great addition to your pattern library
There are a few reasons that I was disappointed, but what contributed most to the lower star rating was the lack of sizing options.Something else is that all of the patterns are variations of the same basic scarf/mitten/hat/sock patterns. I really consider it more like 3 or 4 patterns with about 30 variations.
Haven't made any yet, but will for Christmas gifts this year. Love the patterns
This is a great book I am making a few of these. Fun and good instructions
I got this book from just today, and I love it. There are so many cute patterns, it's hard to pick one to start with. WhileI obviously haven't made anything yet from the book, the instructions do look clearly written, and there are projects for beginners and somewhat more advanced knitters. Nothing looks too hard, but they all look appealing.
