Knits for Girls and Young Juniors by Lee Gant

Knitting is finding a new generation of enthusiasts. More and more kids of all ages are interested in knitting and creating their own special clothing and accessories. Finally! A collection of knits for girls and teenagers that suits their relaxed, comfortable style! From high-textured cabled ponchos and sweaters to stockinette tops and dresses to warm, comfy coats, these pieces all share a carefree style your girls will love. Sized from 6 to young juniors 12, the patterns reach an often-missed generation of girls between toddler and adult. Yes, this age group can be tricky to please, so get them involved! Let them choose the pattern, the yarn, the fit (body-skimming or looser), and especially the color(s). Encourage them to personalise their design with the choices they make. Once exposed to the joy of creating a unique piece of hand-made clothing, they may even want to learn to knit for themselves!

"Knits for Girls and Young Juniors is a book with a specific audience in mind: young ladies. The sizes range from 6 to 12. The upcoming book provides 17 knits I am sure you will want to make for that special young lady in your life. Ahhh to be young again. I love a themed book, so Lee Gant hit the nail on the head for me. The patterns, I love them all. I want to reverse time and make my Shelbey a teenager again. LOL! If you are anything like me, the pretty pictures make you Ohh and Ahh. The photography in this book is breathtaking. The textures and colors just jump off the page. When I purchase a book of patterns, variety is key. I want to have choices and Lee nails that part as well. The patterns include cable and color work. This book gives you dresses and skirts, coats and scarves! It is 100 plus pages of “oh I have to make this, and this and this one too!” I promise you will be digging in your stash to see if you have enough to cast on NOW! The other great thing is all of the patterns have easy to follow instructions. You know how you nod your head in agreement when you read a pattern? NO? I am the only one that does that? Ready to order your copy now? OK, you order and I am going to search for a shrinking machine so Shelbey can wear some of these patterns. Knit on my fiber friends…knit on." —GG, knitter and founder of GGmadeit

If you have a girl or young junior in your life, definitely give this book a look. You're sure to find a pattern you'd love to knit."—Geeky Girls Knit, website and podcast
"There's a sizable gap between fashions for little girls and women. Gant covers it in style, with cool, carefree knits that will delight pre- and young teens....These patterns, neither too girly nor too grown up, are perfect for a time when a girl is starting to figure out her own style."--Spring/Summer 2018, Knit Simple
