5 | A unique knitting resource | This book makes a handy reference both for knitting commercial patterns and designing them. The spiral binding allows it to lie flat. That's great while reviewing while knitting. Besides methods are definitions of abbreviations, a symbol index, and several practical examples of increasing and decreasing patterns.

5 | Knit for beauty and practicality | I merely skimmed through. Patterns are lovely. I'm not that keen intricate work with chunky or bulky yarns. Were I to make a hat, for example, I'd but thinner yarn and modify the pattern. How I do that is to isolate the stitch count per repeat and add more. Heavy yarn shawls look nice. In general, I've no need for suc... | [] | 081173787X | 081173787X | AELWDSZNKN7GWKJ64F566XSXQAEQ | 1,583,782,551,414 | 0 | false |
5 | Useful little book | Excellent, compact stitch list. Features cables, lace, slipped stitches, and a few two color ones. Most books don't show double stitches, like fisherman's rib. Those make lovely accessories. Use a magnifying glass for charts. Symbol key is appendixed. Use post it's for desirable stitches as not indexed.

5 | Adorable amigurumi animals | Adorable animal toys abound in this book. I bought it for the red panda and hedgehog. Among others are: penguin, turtle, giant panda, and fox. There's basic instructional material, plus, cute ideas for augmenting with glass doll eyes (p. 37). Make clothes for toys as well.

5 | Very handy | With this book and her pattern book, I can create my own patterns. That's because each pattern has options of flat bottom up or top down and round, same. That's fantastic.
