The Great American Kid's Afghan Knitting Pattern Book

The Great American Kid's Afghan collects twelve squares from twelve designers, each working to the same brief. Make something a kid actually wants on their own bed. The colors are bright, the scale is kid-sized, and the designers are moms and grandmothers who've watched what children pick up and drag around the house. You knit the blocks one at a time and seam them at the end, so it stays portable the whole way through. You can also repeat a square you love, leave out one you don't, and size the finished piece to the bed you actually have. The knitting runs easy to intermediate. Cables, entrelac, Fair Isle and intarsia all turn up across the twelve, each with illustrated technique pages. A square is small enough that a first go at intarsia costs you an evening rather than a sweater's worth of yarn. From the editors of Knitter's Magazine, softcover, 29 pages. Cascade 220 is the classic yarn for these squares and we keep a wide color range on the shelf. Not sure where to start? Call us and we'll tell you which square to cast on first.
