Gift Knits: More Than 70 Wearable & Decorative Projects

by Chris Rankin

The simple knitting techniques provided in this book offer projects including gloves, scarves and socks that one can make into all kinds of sets with matching designs. It includes sections introducing the methods of intarsia and Fairisle with a chart that shows how to make colour changes, and one can add colours without knitting by following the instructions for using embroidery stitches, or making vertical stripes with a crochet hook.

Some cute and fairly easy/fast projects in here. However, I found the instructions for knitting with more than one color impossible to understand (I need more than a couple of photos), and would have preferred fewer projects that required considerable use of duplicate stitch to finish.
