Description

Learn to knit anywhere, without needles!

Many children learn finger knitting in kindergarten, but what about later on? This inspiring book demonstrates a range of new hand knitting techniques suitable for school-age children.

In our mechanised world of less and less handwork, this is a wonderful skill for children to learn and take into adult life. The book includes step-by-step instructions for making beautiful clothing, scarves, hats, decoration and much more, without ever needing a needle!
