The Close Knit Gang is an exclusive collection of baby and children's knitting patterns shaped by a timeless, elegant, vintage style. The patterns in this book cater for all levels of knitters from the absolute beginner to the more experienced looking for a challenge. Covering a variety of sizes, ranging from the newborn baby, to toddlers and young children.
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.
