Book Reviews of Holiday Knits: 25 Great Gifts from Stockings to Sweaters

Book Review: Some nice patterns
Summary: 4 Stars

I was able to check this out of the library, and now it is on my wishlist. While there is nothing out of the ordinary here, I like the patterns that I am seeing. They are for good basic things--hats, scarves, mittens, etc. I like how the mittens have wide range of sizes for both children and adults.

It is not a learn to knit book. The help section in the back doesn't have many pictures, so you may have to consult another reference if you need help. But, an advanced beginner (I consider myself intermediate)and on should enjoy this book.

The yarns used are on the more expensive side, so you may have to do some substituting.

Summary of Holiday Knits: 25 Great Gifts from Stockings to Sweaters

Cozy mittens, fuzzy ornaments, supersoft sweaters, sporty scarves, and festive stockings Holiday Knits is brimming with projects to cover everyone on the knitter's list. Yarn-shop owners Sara Lucas and Allison Isaacs know firsthand what the holiday knitter needs. Unique patterns, clear instructions, how-to illustrations, and beautiful photographs are sure to get those needles clicking. The 25 projects are organized by the length of time required to complete them (from quick and easy weekend projects to rewarding long-term luxuries) to make for stress-free holiday knitting. From stylish scarves and hats, and exciting updates on holiday favorites, to chic and contemporary wearables, and beautifully designed home accents, Holiday Knits is the knitter's answer to Santa's workshop.
