Beginner's Guide to Knitting in the Round

by Kristin Omdahl

Overview

For beginners who are ready to advance beyond flat knitting, working in the round is a natural progression, says designer Kristin Omdahl. "It alleviates a lot of seams," she explains, "which gives a better structure to your projects, as well as making them more pleasing aesthetically." Kristin created the designs in this book to be easy projects for learning to use double pointed and circular knitting needles, as well as combination projects that transition from one type of needle to the other. Great for gifts, projects include a Headband, Cowl, Lace Capelet, Pouch, Baby Hat, Fingerless Mitts, Baby Blanket, and Family Hat in sizes for toddlers, children, women, and men.
