Consumer Critique: Great Little Gifts to Knit

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.

Great Little Gifts to Knit: 30 Quick and Colorful Patterns is a fun book. I'm not an avid knitter, but many of the projects in the book are accessible even for those without a great deal of experience. The patterns are easy to follow, and there's a good variety of options inside - gifts for babies, women, men, or pets; apparel and home decor. The intro to each section indicates which projects are suitable for what level of experience, and also what techniques will be used. There are great pictures for each one, and the projects are designed to be short-term projects - some as quick as an evening - so they're good for knitters who enjoy making handmade gifts, but also don't have much time. The end of the book has a great section explaining the techniques and stitches, which I found easily to follow even with my limited experience. Making your own gifts can be a great way to save money, and these handmade knitted gifts will definitely be appreciated by the right recipients!
