  • Girly-girl

  • Arty and funky

  • Hippie

  • Fashionista



Put your new skills in action by choosing from more than twenty-five hip patterns, including a mellow newsboy cap, a delicate ballet skirt, a casual kerchief, a preppy sleeveless hoodie, and even some in-your-face skull wristbands. Mix and match styles and add details to express your mood and individualize your look! Lots of the projects are so simple you can knit an extraordinary one-of-a-kind item faster than you can drive to the mall and pick up a one-style-fits-all piece.

Afterdiscussing gauge, she goes on todescribe cables, lacy stuff, and finishing touches.The second part of the bookbegins with a quiz about style preferences, and divides the patterns by quiz results. Knitters who are arty and funky geta newsboy cap; the fashionista, a ruffle skirt; thepreppie, a hoodie.
