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.

Superbly fitted and fashioned in luxurious yarns, these imaginative patterns follow four thematic vignettes inspired by French daily life, film, and history. Each section features dramatically different types of yarns, colors, and stitch patterns combined with timeless, figure flattering silhouettes that are suitable for knitters of all skill levels.

A handy design workshop features in-depth tutorials that teach seamless construction methods and provide valuable technical information for both beginning and seasoned knitters. Perfect for all body types, the designs are figure flattering with curve friendly waist shaping, empire waist detailing, and stitch details such as lacing, openwork, lace edgings, and bell sleeves that highlight the silhouette.
