An illustrated overview explains all the stitches and techniques. More than just a knitting book, the pages are gorgeously decorated with storybook illustrations and the verses of the song. The charming characters make perfect gifts, stocking stuffers, ornaments or toys for children as you teach them the words to this classic song. Channel the Christmas spirit year-round with pipers piping, drummers drumming and knitters knitting with The 12 Knits of Christmas.
