Best Knitting Books for Kids and Teens

Wednesday October 7, 2009
Teen Knitting ClubHandmade Christmas gifts are always a hit, and there's still plenty of time for your kids to learn to knit scarves or other simple gifts. If you are looking for a good knitting book for your son or daughter, these knitting books for kids and teens may be just what you need. All of them provide instruction on the basics of knitting through detailed illustrations and clear step-by-step directions. If your kids are Harry Potter fans and already have some experience knitting, I recommend Charmed Knits, which has Potter-related knitting patterns for a range of knitting abilities, from beginning knitters who already know how to knit and purl to advanced knitters.
