Synopsis

"Spool Knitting" is a classic guide to knitting toys, dolls, and children's clothing using empty spools and pins. From children's mittens to doll's hats, this fatalistic and profusely-illustrated guide is full of great ideas for child-focused knitting projects, and it is not to be missed by those looking for something a bit different. Contents include: "Spool Knitting", "Toy Knitters", "Round Web", "Flat Web", "Circular Mat", "Ball for Baby", "Doll's Muff", "Collarette","Tam O' Shanter Cap", "Baby's Rattle", "Toboggan Cap", "Child's Bath or Bedroom Slippers", "Small Mittens", "Doll's Hood", "Doll's Coat or Jacket", "Bootees", "Little Boy Blue", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on knitting.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Few elementary exercises have aroused more interest in the child than the toy knitting; due, perhaps, to its simplicity and his power to do it easily and well.

To some keen observer the little orb-weaving spider may have suggested this form of occupation. Be this as it may, the child who is a lover of nature will be quick to perceive the strong resemblance he bears to this little insect while at work with his toy knitter, going from post to post just as the insect worked its net in spiral form on his framework of radiating lines.

The possibilities of an empty spool and a few pins are almost without limitations. The illustrations here given are merely suggestive of many more that can be worked out along these lines. They are not simply to momentarily attract the child, but to permit of individual growth, and to have him participate in the joy of its ultimate use.
