Knit Mitts by Kate Atherley


Here is the book summary:
The Perfect Fit is at Your Fingertips!

Why settle for boring store bought mittens and cold fingers, when you could knit the warmest, best fitting pair yourself? With Knit Mitts as your guide, you'll have the comprehensive information you need to create snug, warm, and practical mittens and gloves--right in the palm of your hand.

Inside, knitting expert Kate Atherley offers solutions to common problem areas: stretchy cast-ons for cuffs, fixes for thumb gaps, tricks for working the tiny circumference of glove fingers. She also addresses yarn choices and knitting techniques for easy care and maximum warmth. Through basic mitten and glove recipes, Kate explains how to measure a hand, assess your yarn selection and gauge, and ultimately customize patterns—including the 10 gorgeous ones inside--to make the best fitting mitts for you and your loved ones. Because the very best mitts are knit to fit!

And now, my review:
From baby mitts to adult size, this author has thought of it all.  If you’re looking for the perfect pair of mittens or gloves to knit, you’re sure to find it in this book.  She really sets you up with all that you need to know and if you’re like me then you’ve made them before and struggled with measurements and sizes and having it fit just right.  One time I made a pair that had a super long thumb… L  I’m really thankful that this author goes through so much information.  I found it very helpful to be successful.  My favorite in this book is her sunflower mittens!! 

I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
