Customer Reviews

perfect compilation of patterns!

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!

Great Book, worth every penny!

What a great book!!! Chock-full of beautiful accessory items to knit and none too difficult to complete in short order. I am planning to make several of the projects from this book and hopefully make a serious dent (LOL) in the stash I have been accumulating for waaaaaaaaaaaay too many years! I really love the: Smart Girl Gloves (sans the button detail, just a bit much for me), Magic Mitten Gloves, so cute and worthy of being featured on the front cover and the Autumn Leaves Hooded Poncho (more of a capelet) very pretty. Directions are consise, easy to understand and complete. And fun, fabulous variations abound with yarn suggestions and drawings/gorgeous color photos for most projects. I will surely enjoy this book for years to come. Worth every penny

An excellent pick for knitters who already know the basics

Over 30 fine scarves, gloves, hats and more are packed into THE KNITTER'S BIBLE KNITTED ACCESSORIES, a guide that focuses on how to combine yarns with vivid new designs. From a pompom ski hat to an embroidered scarf and mittens, THE KNITTER'S BIBLE: KNITTED ACCESSORIES is an excellent pick for knitters who already know the basics and who want to use them to produce trendy new designs.

Beautiful Book Full of Fun Projects

This is another hit from the Knitters Bible series. It contains great patterns, lots of ideas about using textures and colors, and beautiful photography. It has something for everyone from beginners to advanced knitters. Highly recommend!

Lots of fun projects

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.
