This is book is full of easy beginner tank top pats,a bikini pat, 2 dresses,empire waist tank top that criss crosses in the front, 2 felted bags, a lace hat,Skirts,capri's, new and different type of tanks. See the photos that have been uploaded and you will see the patterns. I don't buy books unless I see the inside and now you can do the same. These are the first tank tops I have ever tried and they are EASY!

Nice patterns, none too difficult. Not just for teens, but my teen daughter is now interested in re-learning to knit after looking through the book. My biggest complaint would have to be that the patterns are very yarn-specific without allowing for substitution; I tend to be a stash knitter and don't want to have to purchase new yarns to create these items. It's not just a question of matching gauge, but also the drape of the fabric which can vary greatly by fiber type)

All in all, though - it's nice book and I'm happy to own it!

Fifteen year old Phoenix Bess, a homeschooler with a background in theater and clothing design has produced this book filled with elegant, simple and variety in knitted garments. Designs include sweaters, leggings, pants, tops, bags, skirts and even bathing suits. Although many designs are quite easy, a good working knowledge of knitting techniques and pattern reading are necessary to complete most of these projects. The photography shows off each design with clarity, and the schematics included with each pattern's written instructions add to the written instructions. Although the patterns have a decidedly youthful feel to them, many will appeal to older knitters as well, or will make great gift knitting for teenagers as recipients.
