This book is a great one to have for anyone that lives where there is a warm season. It is filled with fun patterns with a wide range of sizes. Each pattern has a paragraph to introduce it and to tell a little about the design. Then they have pattern notes which gives particular hints for each item along with a link to a website to go download and print a chart of the pattern.The back of the book includes special knitting techniques, abbreviations, designers and yarn sources. All together there are 32 items to make which range from wraps to a beach chair.
I enjoyed looking at this book and now I am going to begin to plan my first project from it.
I purchased this book from Amazon.com and a review was not required.
It is hard to imagine a knitting book with new ideas, but this is one. All the title, Drop-Dead Easy Knits, suggests, none of these patterns are very difficult. yet they are each beautiful. Included in this book by Gale Zucker, mary Lou Egan and Kirsten Kapur are cowls, scarves, hats, sweaters, wraps, mitts, socks and the list goes on. There are 29 patterns in all. Each has difficulty ratins of mindless, relaxed or attentive. There is also a list of abbreviations and instructions for each in the back plus sources for suggested yarns and a list of alternate yarns.
