Kids are - and should be - Little Rascals. This book captures them at their playful best, enjoying themselves in their hand knitted clothes. With 19 contemporary hand knitting items to choose from there is something for all knitters.
All patterns are knit with Naturally Soft Merino:
100% extra fine Merino
25 stitches and 34 rows / 4 inches
US 3 (3.25 mm) needles
50 grams; 136 yards
machine wash, gentle; dry flat
Naturally Soft Merino is made entirely from extra fine Merino wool, but it can still be machine washed in cool water, so garments don't have to be saved for special occasions. The lovely twist produces a fabulous, even stitch definition for knitters of all abilities, and rewards the more experienced with superior, springy cables and crisp colour-work.
