That garment that looks like a vest on the cover... Not.
Cotton yarn is an unforgiving beast and the samples had noticeable errors. I felt the photography was dark and there were not any close-up pictures. I will not be making any of these patterns.

Delightful photographs and easy to understand instructions. I plan to make several of these items.

April 22, 2016Now that we are fully into the season of spring, it is a delight to create beautiful knitted items from cotton. It is also to be noted that some of us can't tolerate wool or prefer not to use animal fibers. This book has our backs, too!
60 Quick Cotton Knits The Ultimate Collection in Ulta Pima From Cascade Yarns, is just the ticket for the reasons above and more.
The book ranges from easiest to most difficult by using a value system of one to four, however the most common is three. The choices of what you can make are amazingly varied. For example, there are tanks, shawls, shrugs, hats, scarves, a bolero (!), wristers, and more. All are knit from Ulta Pima, which is very reasonably priced and truly a beautiful, quality yarn.
Each project is numbered (from 1 to 60) and photographed clearly and excitingly. For example, number 30, the "Breezy Mini Cardi" is a short, white, openwork two button top which is completely adorable for any hip chick. If you are more chic in a preppy way, number 12 is a sleeveless "Marled Mock Neck Top" in a mix of sky blue and white.
If you are in the mood for something totally sensational you can wear through summer, check out number 7, a "Woven Back Tank" in sassy Chartreuse. It is a gorgeous statement piece, as are many of the offerings in 60 Quick Cotton Knits The Ultimate Collection in Ulta Pima From Cascade Yarns.
Number 48, the "Checkered Tank" is a good choice for the knitter who loves outstanding color patterns. It is charming.
You can't miss with this pretty book. What a way to welcome spring! You and/or your knitting group will be thrilled by the wonderful choices in 60 Quick Cotton Knits The Ultimate Collection in Ulta Pima From Cascade Yarns !
