    About this ebook

    Great ideas you can knit in no time at all!

    Not only are hand-knitted offerings totally in trend, whether in the form of a little gift or by way of a kind gesture. A personal present, handmade from wool or yarn, will always be appreciated, no matter what the occasion. If you have neither time nor inclination to spend ages searching for a gift, simply knit something yourself! To create an extra special effect, some of the items can also be turned into felt in the washing machine.
    In addition to decorative and useful items for the home, such as a vase cover or a cat door stopper, these projects for nimble needles also include a snuggly hand warmer, beautiful fashion accessories - from bracelets to warm, woolly hats - as well as delightful baby gifts to make yourself.
    Thanks to detailed instructions and brilliant photos, all the projects are quick to make and suitable even for beginners. Anyone who enjoys trying out new patterns will also appreciate the supplement containing an extra bonus of 36 imaginative, patented and structural design patterns.

    - Concise, yet detailed and clear instructions with a list of materials and size information for each project
    - Illustrations for each project
    - Bonus supplement with 36 knitting patterns, including knitting chart and photographs

      Lightning Knits - Roswitha Sanchez-Ortega

      LIGHTNING KNITS

      Hand-knitting isn’t just the latest craze, little gifts and mementos made from wool and cotton yarns are always welcome, whatever the occasion. If you don’t have the time or inclination to spend ages looking for a present, just knit it yourself. To achieve a very special effect, some of the designs are also felted in the washing machine.

      As well as decorative and useful items for the home, such as a vase cover or a door stop shaped like a cat, you will find in this book a cuddly hand warmer, wonderful fashion accessories – from bracelets to warm, woolly hats – and pretty things for the little ones to keep your needles busy.

      Thanks to the detailed instructions and brilliant photos, all the items are quick to make, even for beginners. For those who like to try out new stitches there are plenty of fancy ribs and structured stitch patterns in the extra chapter.

      LIGHTNING KNITS

      Little things you can knit in a flash

      It happens to everyone. Your best friend has a birthday, your neighbour is celebrating moving into his new flat, you sister has had a baby – and there’s no time left to shop for a present.

      No problem for those who fancy a lightning knit! In less than 60 minutes you can make a unique, highly individual and very personal gift yourself.

      It could be an amusing accessory for the home like a knitted vase cover, or a little cuddly sheep for children. You could give someone who is forever mislaying their glasses a smart glasses case, or give a young mum a cute hat for her baby. Owl-shaped hand warmers, cosy wrist warmers or woolly hats for winter – you will definitely find something for everyone in this book.

      The book contains over 25 designs to knit that will be quick and easy to make for both beginners and experienced knitters. The patterns have been kept deliberately simple but the end result is still impressive.

      Only about 20–100 g wool is needed for each item, depending on the thickness of the yarn. For instance, the baby’s hat takes about
