The patterns in this book are as classic as the characters upon whom they are based, but not staid or boring.

Patterns are ranked by difficulty in a visual way:

For the Early-in-the-Career Knitter: the freedom to embark on the adventure

For the Brave Beginner or the Intermediate Knitter: a sense of equality with one’s peers

And for the Expert Knitter or Intermediate-Willing-to-Stick-Out-His-or-Her-Neck Knitter: a sense of kinship with those of us who choose to go out on a limb.
