Book: The Knitster: 20 Patterns for Hip Knitters

The Knitster is an original, highly illustrated project-based knitting book (with a little crocheting thrown in for good measure). Acclaimed knitting blogger Robbie Dulaney takes us through 20 projects which range in skill level - from the basics to more advanced techniques - and which will appeal to men and women who want to inject some cool, knit-based style into their lives. All you need is a pair of knitting needles and some yarn! Look the part with Robbie's clothing projects, which include a hooded infinity scarf, a slouchy hipster hat (knit in a bare yarn then dyed ombre), a freestyle bow tie, a colour-blocked drop-sleeve sweater, and mismatched mittens connected with an i-cord (a grown up twist on a kid's look!). Knit some stylish objects for your home, such as a zig-zag throw, a patterned floor cushion, and a cute ice-cream pint cozy (to keep your hands warm and the ice cream cold!). If you feel inspired to knit cool things for yourself and your friends, The Knitster is for you!
