Synopsis
“Like other titles in this series, Daviss work concentrates on enjoyable projects that can be completed successfully in a short period of time. Socks, hats, mittens, and vests —all are represented here by patterns that feature good-quality yarns in natural fibers and do not sacrifice quality for quickness. Highly recommended.”—
