Chic Knits for Young Chicks

Book excerpt: Finally: a teen knitting book actually written by a teen who understands what’s hot and what’s not, what’s chic and what’s for geeks. Sarah Paulin loves fashion and she’s created a closet’s worth of patterns that will add flair to any hip chick’s wardrobe. With knitting so popular now, what girl could resist making the lacy shrug in bright melon, accented with eyelash yarn? Or a stylish chunky scarf with a loop detail and a kicky knitted tube that does double duty as either a top or skirt? In addition to the cool clothes, trendy knitters will find a journal cover with a fun flower closure, a cozy throw in sherbet shades, and purses that range from flirty clutches to retro totes with pompom embellishments.
