A beginner's form of knitting that uses a corker or "knitting knobby," corking is a fun, no-mess craft. This book tells you how to make several different sized corkers from materials you have around the house. With that and a ball of yarn, create stuffed animals, hair scrunchies (my favorite), finger puppets, clothes for yourself or your dolls. Illustrated, step-by-step instructions make it easy!

It is the best step-by-step method I’ve ever seen and perfect for any unskilled beginner, child age 7 to adult!

Also, there are games, puzzles, and stitching practice mazes that allow a child to learn at their own pace. The format is colorful and fun!
