Start with something simple like a scarf; then try knitting in the round to make hand and leg warmers or progress to shaping with fast, funky hats. A scarf is not only the traditional learn-to-knit project but also a vital fashion accessory. This section has 16 designs for you to choose from, including skinny scarves, scrap-yarn scarves, patterned scarves, and scarves with trims. Going around in circles creates tubes of knitting that can be used as hand, arm, or leg warmers. They’re in a multicolored yarn that gives you instant stripes with no extra work. Super-chunky yarn and big needles make the simple earflap hat one of the fastest projects in this book.
