Fairy Tale Knits: 32 Projects to Knit Happily Ever After
32 whimsical patterns for children twelve months to eight years.
Two timeless traditions-fairy tales and knitting-come together magically in the season's most original knitting book. You'll get patterns to knit pieces that are reminiscent of the world's most beloved fabled characters, including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Robin Hood, Hansel and Gretel, knights, pirates, and many more. From a fanciful capelet and muff to a playful baby jumper and hat, these are the children's knitting patterns dreams are made of.
What a combination! Two of today’s trendiest fiber arts come together like yarn and hooks in this newest On the Go title: crochet and felting. Colorfully illustrated, and with great projects that range from bags, scarves, and blankets to toys, a notebook cover, and even a set of baskets, it’s got something for crocheters of all skill levels. Sweet rosettes adorn either end of the irresistibly fuzzy lavender scarf. Two attractively designed totes sport vivid hues: one comes in rich sea blues and greens, the other features lots of hot pink and orange. And any child would love the cuddly stuffed penguin.
Designer handbags are all the rage, but their designer-style price tags can be prohibitive. With Bags Two, knitters of all levels can make their own for a fraction of the cost—and have twenty boutique worthy purses, guilt-free. Choose from both classic styles and today’s hottest trends: an elegant evening bag with a dainty scallop pattern; a basketweave messenger satchel, felted and reinforced with bamboo dowels for extra support; a ’60s-style handbag with all-over bobbles, in an eye-catching orange; a trendy boho-inspired purse with beaded fringe; and many more.
