Knit Noro: Accessories 2: 30 More Colorful Little Knits (Knit Noro Collection)

Another timeless Noro publication to add to your collection.

I don’t think I will be making much from this pattern book because I’m not willing to spend time doing cables and other time consuming stitches.

Lovely presentations loaded with projects I cannot wait to tackle!

These patterns are well-written, easy to follow & beautifully photographed with the purpose of using the photos as pattern aids & not just artsy yarn-y shots. Lord, save me from artsy yarn photos in pattern books, LOL!It has a very good variety of pattern types, not 95% hats or shawls or whatever. Altogether an outstanding contribution to any knitter's library & no doubt about it a classic pattern book. Get it while you can!

I just received this book and couldn’t wait to sit down with a cup of coffee and read it. Like the book cover states, it has “. . . more colorful little knits”. I was so inspired, I quickly got on line an ordered some Noro yarn,

I'm a Noro fan, so this was a great follow-up to the first book. Lots of great designs and patterns.

Also... Modelle nix besonderes... Bis auf den Titel. Ansonsten steht wohl die Wolle im Vordergrund. Nicht mein Ding. Eigentlich sollte ich das Buch zurückschicken. Ist mir aber zu umständlich. Kaufen würde ich mir von Knut Noro kein Buch mehr. Aber das ist natürlich reine Geschmackssache.

I have been knitting for almost 60 years, I have many books and patterns, but I really loved this book. It has well written patterns, and many projects that are very portable. Good decision for anyone's knitting library.

Love the great designs, well written instructions, beautifully photographed

Knit Noro Accessories 2: 30 More Colorful Little Knits is a multi-designer, hardcover pattern collection book by Sixth & Spring. As the name suggests, the patterns are made using a variety of Noro yarns. The book opens with a brief introduction and then dives directly into the patterns. Each pattern includes two pages of photos before the pattern instructions and at least one other full page photo. The instructions include the designer name, short introductory text about the pattern, skill level, measurements, a detailed materials list, gauge, and instructions written in U.S. knitting abbreviations. Seven of the 30 patterns also include color, lace, or cable charts, and two patterns include assembly diagrams.There is a broad selection of accessories designs, including:9 shawls, ponchos, capes, and capelets,7 scarves and cowls,6 mittens, gloves, and fingerless mitts,6 hats,1 pair of socks, and1 pair of boot cuffs.There is also a range of pattern skill levels, including:1 beginner,16 easy,12 intermediate, and1 experienced pattern.Knit Noro Accessories 2: 30 More Colorful Little Knits includes patterns by 24 designers. You can see all the designs on the Ravelry source page for the book. My favorite designs are the Twice-Mitered Cowl by Theresa Schabes, the Zippered Capelet by Mari Lynn Patrick, the Tuck Stitch Scarf by Charles Voth, the Peruvian Chullo Hat by Matthew Schrank, and the Slanted Poncho by Sandi Prosser.After the patterns, there is a Helpful Information section, which includes pattern abbreviations, skill levels, a knitting needle size comparison chart (U.S. and metric), information about gauge, a glossary of special stitches, and three written and illustrated technique instructions (for the Kitchener stitch, I-Cord, and provision cast-on). The book closes with a detailed index and list of Noro yarn distributors in the United States and Europe.As with other books by Sixth&Spring, the photos are vibrant and well styled. The photographic eye candy definitely inspired me to pick up my needles. The colors of the Noro yarns are richly portrayed. The book has a clean graphic design that makes it easy to read, though I do think the font size for the patterns could have been a bit larger. The patterns are clearly written. As a hardcover, it would lay flat so you can knit and follow along with the pattern. Although there is a range of pattern skill levels in the book, because it doesn’t include any basic knitting tutorials, I would recommend it for advanced beginners or intermediate knitters who enjoy making accessories for women. (Yes, there are some unisex designs and patterns for men in this book, but probably not enough to satisfy someone looking for accessories for men.) And, of course, if you love Noro yarn, or fall in love with one of the many beautiful patterns in this book, then it would be even more enjoyable.

The perfect book for knitting colorful accessories and gifts. Beautiful patterns for every level of knitter, presented with stunning color pictures of every project. I will be knitting many of these gorgeous mitts, shawls and cowls. Perfect for long color change yarns.

Book is fabulous. Pictures alone are worth it. Lots of great patterns to knit. Another homerun by Noro

Lovely patterns - there are so many I want to knit!
