Editorial Reviews
Review
No. 82, 2006
This book has 32 different knitting patterns for hats from around the world, from North America right round to Asia, ranging from the simple to the more advanced. There is an introduction to hat basics, including an illustration of different types of hats and an indication of how to correctly measure head circumference, as well as a guide to the stitch techniques you’ll need to know, allowing you to create some very original hats for winter. Really excellent design adaptation.
