Following the wonderfully successful beginner book, Knit How, and our pullover and sock compendiums, Ready Set Raglan and Ready Set Socks, we thought it was about time we let kids in on the action too!

A collection of 11 versatile knitting and crochet patterns for kids aged 0-10, Mini Pom reimagines classic grown-up patterns from the archives of Pom Pom for our tiny friends, as well as some just-for-kids designs, all in the fun and modern style we’re known for.

Notes: This type of scarf is known as a keyhole scarf, where one end can be pulled through the other to secure. The scarf is knit flat and then seamed to make a tube, leaving an opening at one end to pull one pom pom through and secure around the child’s neck. Working the scarf flat rather than in the round ensures the fabric lays flat when seamed and finished, especially the colourwork version.
