Book Reviews of Hand Knits for the Home: 20+ Designs for Stylish Interiors

Book Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this book. Most knitting books are all about things to wear (sweaters, vests, hats), and I don't wear hand knitted clothing beside scarfs. I wanted to knit pretty things that were actually useful. This book has patterns for beautiful throw pillows - I've already made 2 and am almost done with a third. Today I am going to start work on the baby blanket pattern - it is cute but not cutesy. The patterns in this book are classy and tasteful.

Summary of Hand Knits for the Home: 20+ Designs for Stylish Interiors

Beginning knitters and veterans alike will enjoy creating stylish home accents from the series of beautiful, contemporary projects detailed in this book. The art of knitting is introduced in chapters on tools, equipment, types of yarn, and a variety of basic stitches. Each stitch is presented with photographs and step-by-step instructions followed by a project using that stitch. Using a contemporary color palette, the projects call for soft lamb’s wool, mohair, cool cotton, or chunky unspun wool to fashion a wonderful range of decorative items including cushions for chairs and beds, throws for sofas and beds, a baby’s blanket, and a table runner. For a professional finishing touch, instructions on how to add decorative details such as edgings, fastenings, pom-poms, and cords are also provided.
