Synopsis: Experience the joy, creativity, and color of knitting with beginner-friendly projects from bookmarks to cell phone cozies to home décor. At long last, a knitting book that&’s certifiably hip. Aimed at the rapidly growing new generation of knitters, Knitting Pretty offers up thirty smart-looking projects presented in language ordinary human beings can understand. Perfect for the beginner, the user-friendly basics section features step-by-step illustrations and instructions for everything the knitter on the make needs to know. The unique patterns—from cozy caps, scarves, and mittens, to pillow covers, kooky sock puppets, and even a paperweight—come with easy-to-follow instructions, helpful diagrams, and beautiful full-color photographs of the finished projects. From quick and easy projects to somewhat grander endeavors for the more experienced, Knitting Pretty makes it a pleasure to whip up warm and woolly masterpieces. &“This work should appeal to the same age demographic as Judith L. Swartz&’s Hip to Knit, but it is more targeted to the beginner and includes much more basic knitting instruction and projects that are easier to knit, including such modern-day accoutrements as a cell-phone cozy and a simple headband for skiers.&” —Library Journal
