Inside...Gwen Steege edited Knit Christmas Stockings! and compiles a jolly variety of holiday cheer complete with color chart instructions, felting information and guides for beginning knitters. All instruction sheets are very easy to read, laid out in a format that is clearer than many patterns with tiny font. Large photos and colored-in charts are also a big help to new color-work knitters.
