Book Description

“Spool Knitting” is a classic guide to knitting toys, dolls, and children's clothing using empty spools and pins. From children's mittens to doll's hats, this fatalistic and profusely-illustrated guide is full of great ideas for child-focused knitting projects, and it is not to be missed by those looking for something a bit different. Contents include: “Spool Knitting”, “Toy Knitters”, “Round Web”, “Flat Web”, “Circular Mat”, “Ball for Baby”, “Doll's Muff”, “Collarette” ,”Tam O' Shanter Cap”, “Baby's Rattle”, “Toboggan Cap”, “Child's Bath or Bedroom Slippers”, “Small Mittens”, “Doll's Hood”, “Doll's Coat or Jacket”, “Bootees”, “Little Boy Blue”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on knitting.
