...the 'dozen' equates to twenty-two patterns. There are so many variations; the delicate and light, the patterned and plain and the chunky sort for winter (one even has a hood). Most can be made in different sizes, while others are one-size. The techniques section is excellent and includes yarn weight comparisons and a size chart to ensure that you get a good fit. A useful addition to your knitting bookshelf that will ensure you are never short of the right pattern for the right occasion.
