Xmas 2012 It can be hard to come up with new ideas for stocking
fillers every year, especially ones to please the whole family.
However, you won't go far wrong with a pair of knitted boot cuffs,
and this book is packed with great designs for men, women and
children. They're a great way to give boots or wellies instant
appeal and the patterns inside are all really simple, so even
complete beginners can have a go. As boot cuffs are so small,
you'll be able to knit up loads in a hurry, leaving you plenty of
time for your other festive activities.

Sept 12 I ordered this book on a whim and have been pleasantly
pleased with it. There are designs for kids, stylish ones for
adults and then some quirky ones. Most are knitted in chunky or
aran but that just make them warmer.-"Debs", Amazon customer

Feb 13 If you enjoyed making Susie Johns Knitted Beanies (also
reviewed on this site), why not dress up your boots? In this slim
volume there are twenty patterns for the currently fashionable
toppers to keep your legs cozy this winter. There are cuffs for
men, women and children in here and something to please everybody.
Choose from plain but practical or those with hearts, flowers,
pigs, penguins, ducks, plaid or stripes. The author is an Art Deco
fan so there is more than one Clarice Cliff inspired pattern, one
with bouclé yarn and my own favorite, the festival-inspired Rasta
Jester. It helpfully always says if a pattern is suitable for the
more experienced knitter, and mostly I would pitch this book at
improver level. Each page spread has a full-page photo of the item
one side and the pattern on the other, telling you also what
needles and yarn you need and sometimes with a graph too. As with
all the knitting books in this series this is not the place to
learn to knit, but these patterns grow fast and make great projects
to build confidence.
