This review is from: The Knitter's Bible - Knitted Accessories (Paperback)

Book includes some really interesting projects in all types of accessories such as hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, shawls, etc. My favorites are lacy shawl, sideways knit scarves, cashmere set of gloves, hat and scarf plus corsage, mitred squares scarf in Noro Kureyon, magic mitten gloves (gloves can also be mittens) on the cover, cabled poncho and laceweight wrap. Beginner info is at the back of the book and the exact yarns are listed there also. The patterns only describe the yarn; e.g., chunky, bulky, etc. Author is English so most of the yarns are English but the terminology is the same for America and England. Level of difficulty is not indicated but most knitters will be able to do the projects. Highly recommended as a lot of the projects can use stash yarns.

These patterns are easy to read and follow and this book really provides great accessories you can knit for yourself or for gifts! I found the yarn suggestions especially helpful - the book gives one yarn and then other options and explains how the look and feel of the item will change. I got this and 'fitted knits' and both books are great!
