Review on 🧣 Cozy and Chic Knit Scarves for Every Season! by Heather Shaw

I found out about this book because I wanted to knit a scarf and was looking for ideas. The book has an attractive cover and when I flipped through it at a local store I found new stitching and some really interesting scarf patterns. It also contains some very useful information suitable for all knitters. The introductory sections cover the basics, such as: For example, how to choose needles and thread for a project, a glossary of terms, and how to check your gauge. There is an illustrated section on casting on and dropping stitches, which is very easy, and then there are sections on design, counting stitches, and correcting mistakes. It also covers knitting with more than one color, how to make a pom pom and how to make a fringed scarf. These sections are short but very well done. The core of the book contains patterns for 16 shawls and includes color photographs as well as suggestions and images of the different threads that can be substituted for each pattern. The stitches range from the easiest level for beginners to the very advanced level for those who are more advanced. Everyone will find something for themselves here. I have knitted a scarf using the pattern in this book, but substituting the same yarn as the specific yarn in the pattern comes from England and is very expensive. That's the only downside to these patterns - real yarn isn't the kind that's easily bought in big craft stores. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys knitting scarves. Makes a great gift for a newbie. After learning to knit while making scarves, I've found that there are many new ideas to try. Finished products are also great gifts.
