Product Description:
The Yarn Girls offer a fresh new collection of thirty dazzling junior knitwear designs for kids ages four through ten. Whether you’re a novice looking for approachable patterns or an expert seeking a new challenge, The Yarn Girls’ Guide to Knits for Older Kids is perfect for knitters who want good-looking designs that knit up fast.

A helpful how-to guide kicks off the book, walking new knitters through the basics and serving as a handy reference for lapsed knitters. Nine captivating chapters follow, offering designs ranging from casual to stylish to funky. From the Half-Hour Hat to the Camping Out basic pullover to the Glamorous Life swing coat, there are patterns that will delight even the most fashion-savvy kid—no matter what his or her style. Plus, twenty-six of the thirty patterns are conveniently unisex, and to illustrate this, each design is photographed on both a boy and a girl.

Throughout the book, the Yarn Girls describe the inspiration behind their patterns, providing their own personal anecdotes and adding helpful knitting tips along the way. With a wealth of brand-new quick-to-knit patterns and the much-loved Yarn Girls sensibility, The Yarn Girls’ Guide to Knits for Older Kids is an exciting new addition to their treasured collection.

The yarn girls are back—with a spectacular collection of thirty quick-to-knit patterns for stylish girls and boys ages four through ten.

Inside, you’ll find patterns for:

• Fuss-free pullovers

• Fun hooded sweatshirt (or as the cool kids say, a “hoodie”)

• Marvelous swing coat with fuzzy trim




Rating: - Great Ideas......tough yarn choices
I really like the patterns in the book, and my daughter wants me to make several of them. The authors put a disclaimer in the book that the yarn choices are suggestions.....and you have to take them that way. Otherwise you are looking at a $150 sweater for a child.

Many of the yarns are doubled so you have to really make that gauge swatch!

Rating: - Fills a great niche
A lot of pattern books delete children this age, or give a lot of stodgy patterns that would take so long to knit that kids would outgrow them. These are fashionable, well designed, and very lucid patterns with lots of extra explanations and help along the way. Anyone who can do basic knitting could knit any of these garments.

Rating: - Quick, easy patterns that make you want to knit...
I just learned how to knit over the summer and my first project was a sweater from the baby knits book. My older child was asking where his sweater was, so I was excited to get this book and find a pattern to tackle for him. There are so many sweaters and other projects that even a new knitter can create something really impressive. The explanations of more complicated stitches and patterns are detailed and very clear to help those who are ready to advance their skills try something new.
