a reference along with pattern notes, size and instruction

"This book is jam packed full of knitting patterns that are just
challenging enough to keep things interesting, but small enough to
use up left over yarn ends. Perfect for crafting from your stash.
If you enjoy knitting you are going to love the patterns in this
book." -My Poppet Makes blog
