Cables Mittens, hats & scarves

Another stellar addition to the "Vogue Knitting on the Go!" series, this collection of knitting patterns features knitted cables, those twisty, ropelike constructions that add texture and interest to knits. In it, series editor Malcolm collects 21 designs, including a richly cabled hood with scarf attached, self-striping mittens, a buttoned neck warmer, hats, wristlets, and a headband. Patterns lean toward the classic and will appeal mostly to intermediate or experienced knitters. Recommended for public libraries, especially those in colder climes, where cabled knits are most popular. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
