Lightning Knits

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.
