Gloves, Mittens & Scarves

This is a basic guide to knitting any type of glove or mitten. You will learn how to take the right measurements of the hand, knit a quick swatch, and shape the knitting to the hand that is going to be wearing it. With the basic patterns you can go on to design virtually any type of glove or mitten you desire. As a bonus, in this set, you also receive some great pattern stitches and instructions on how to use them to make a scarf to go with your glove or mitten.

Tip: Great for yarn from your scrap pile.

Knit to Fit Hats

I'm the kind of person likes to get away from knitting a swatch if I possibly can. So I have come up with several methods for just starting a piece and knitting unti it fits. Hats are perfect for this kind of knitting, and here are four patterns that give you the freedom to "Just Go!"

• No Measure Hats: Knit a hat without making a swatch.
• Slip Stitch Hats: This is a variation of the No Measure Hat using slip stitch 
• Aztec & Field of Sheep Hats: Knit in the round from the top down. It's easy to get them to fit your head. 
• Crochet Hat, Tam & Headband: Quick to crochet in any size. 

Lots of Scarves

Scarves are such a great knitting project. The only problem you can run into in knitting a scarf is in choosing a knitting stitch that curls in at the sides - thus giving you a tube to wear around your neck - rather than what you were wanting: a scarf! We have several great ideas in this set of knitting patterns for getting your scarf knitting days off to a good start.

Tip: Use a very soft yarn so the scarf does not scratch your neck.

• Multi-Pattern Scarf: This scarf uses ten patterns combining the knit purl stitch. 
• Lace Scarves: These patterns give numerous options for lace scarf.
• Tucked Scarf: This scarf wraps around your neck with one side tucking into a little sleeve on the other. Two versions: garter stitch and lace. Very stylish and easy to make.

Socks on Circular Knitting Needles

Knitting Socks on Circular Needles. This is an ingenious technique. Two circular needles are used to knit a tube. One half of the tube is worked off the points of one circular needle, and the other half rests on the band of the second, which has just enough bend to give the working needles the angle they need. While not really faster than knitting with four double pointed needles, this technique is certainly less intimidating to the beginning sock knitter.

And that's not all - on circular needles you can actually knit a sock in either direction: from the cuff down, or from the toe up. These instructions will give you all the options.

Warm Feet Pattern Set

Keep your feet toasty warm with knit and crocket slippers, or a set of leg warmers for the ankles. These projects are a must-have for the knitter's library.

• Knit and Crochet Slippers: These slippers are quick and easy to make. 
• Flared Leg Warmers: These leg warmers not only cover the leg, but they have a flared bottom to cover the top of the foot and shoe for extra warmth.
• Lace Leg Warmers: This is an extra version of the flared leg warmer made with attractive lace.
