Knitting to Go Deck: 25 Chic and Easy Patterns

by Kris Percival, Sheri Giblin (Photographs)

So long, bulky pattern books! Farewell, crinkled photocopies! Knitting to Go makes it a cinch to knit in trains, planes, and automobiles, at church, at school, bellied up to the bar...wherever you find your crafty self. Inside this portable deck you'll find 25 patterns that run the gamut from chic (Circle Wrap or Mohair Hoodie) to gifty (Baby Blocks and the Men's Sweater) to homey (Cozy Throw Blanket and Chenille Pillow). Each card is easy to use, with step-by-step directions and a beautiful color photograph of the finished project.

This deck of knitting pattern cards is convenient and handy - knitters can easily tuck the 4x6-inch pattern cards into a project bag instead of hassling with copy print outs, or larger books. The patterns themselves range from simple beginner blankets and scarves, and move into more detailed garment patterns, each labeled with a level of difficulty in the top right corner.

The deck is a perfect place for a beginning knitter to start making accessories and garments. For a more ambitious and/or experienced knitter, the deck offers a starting point to experiment with textures, lace, and advanced techniques with simple constructions and lines.

While I love this deck and have already made 2 items from it, I have only one complaint: I wish the cards included schematic drawings and measurements of the knitwear. One can knit without them, but schematics are a good visualization tool that many knitters use quite frequently.

Nothing for me.

I love these cards because they are simple to read and you can take the one you are working on with you.
