All 33 projects
start out as a Moebius scarf, which begin with a unique cast-on so simple
that it can be done behind your back. After that, every stitch is set
to rotate into place, ready to be knit, on and on until the scarf is
ready to bind off. There are no wrong turns to take in the land of Magical
Knitting, so you are home safe.
The book
begins with scarves, which lead naturally into hats, then into felted
fringed boots with Moebius bootstraps, and finally into capes. Cat's
trademark clarity, thoroughness, and sense of humor make this book perfect
for new knitters as well as the most experienced.
