In fifteen easy projects, from bouncy bean bags to a rolled-edge sweater, author and knitting expert Melanie Falick teaches kids of all ages how to knit. Through step-by-step instructions and candy-colored illustrations, beginners learn the fundamentals: knitting tools, finger knitting, and basic stitches such as knit, purl, mattress, overcast, embroidery and stockinette.

Kids Knitting emphasizes fun in every step of the learning process. Sunny paintings by Kristin Nicholas illustrate the individual steps of each technique. Bright boxes of blues, greens and reds explain everything from button sewing to tassel tying. Charming photographs by Chris Hartlove feature finished projects modeled by the creators themselves - all kids who knit.
