Teen Knitting Club: Chill Out And Knit Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
All over the country, kids are picking up knitting needles and wildly colorful yarns to make really cool clothes and other fabulous stuff--from cozy chenille scarves to snuggly shawls, funky rag bags to furry tank tops, whimsical brimmed hats to classy cardigans. Whether on their own or together with friends in after-school clubs, recreation centers, or even yarn shops, these kids are discovering that knitting is more than learning basic stitches and following pattern directions. Knitting is a way to get exactly what they want to own, and it is also a fun way to relax and hang out, a way to surprise a friend with a handmade sweet sixteen present, a way to discover the creative "me" in themselves. Teen Knitting Club shows them how they can do it all--from learning the basics to forming knitting clubs of their own. Firsthand stories and tips from scores of teens both advise and encourage teens, while lively four-color photographs of their handiwork show what can be done with just a little practice. Cool kids everywhere will be saying, "Move over, Grandma," and joining in this creative and rewarding pastime.

This book is absolutely amazing! Don't let the word "TEEN" in the title discourage you; I am well past my teenage years and I love this book. The patterns are hip, yet timeless. After about 2 hours of skimming through this book and making swatches with a few of the techniques I read about, I decided to make a scarf. It is the first pattern in this book-a basic garter-stitch (plain knit) scarf, however, I changed the size of it because I wanted to make it longer and skinnier. I used super thick yarn and huge bamboo (I read bamboo was the best and easiest for beginners because the yarn stays put) needles in size 19, and completed the scarf in about 3 hours!!! I couldn't believe I turned string into an actual object!All the directions for each pattern are written out instead of abbreviated, which is easier for beginners. However, there is a glossary of terms and abbreviations in the back of the book so you can learn some abbreviations. The entire book is in color, with gorgeous pictures. The patterns list the yarns that are used, but also lists alternative yarns to use, so it is easy to figure out how to make the same project with thinner or thicker yarns as well as different material yarns. They also show you that you can use another brand with the same weight and gage if you wish to make the exact pattern but don't want to use the yarn they suggest. Also, Every project has a list on the right side that tells you the page numbers of the techniques you will need to know for that particular project.
