In her ever-popular book, designer Amy Polcyn introduces us to her whimsical collection of slippers, socks and booties. If you're in a pinch, this collection is one of those go-to books where you'll find just the right gift. You just can't go wrong with slippers! They're compact, quick-to-knit, cuddly warm and will suit everyone's taste. In Knit a Dozen Plus Slippers, you'll find styles and sizes to fit children to adults.

If you want to stretch your knitting skills, this book delivers several options for new techniques on small-scale items. You'll find useful methods for short rows, stranded color work and modular knitting. Do you enjoy working on small projects and large needles? Many of the patterns in this book use only one skein of chunky-weight yarn and needles larger than size 5. Each design can be completed in a few hours by an average knitter. Once you make your first pair of slippers from this book, you'll be planning the next!
