Beginning with a crash course in essential knitting techniques, dive straight into 15 patterns ranging from simple hats and a scarf to mittens, sweaters, dresses, bags and more. The patterns are a mix of designs for 3- to 6-year olds, 7- to 9-year olds, and all ages, with styles varying from beautifully subtle and textured knits to patterned creations featuring motifs inspired by classic Nordic knitwear and the Scandinavian landscape.
