Once Upon a Knit

Iconic fairy-tale characters from storybooks, movies, and television inspire this collection of magical knitting patterns perfect for modern knights, villains, and princesses.

Once again, Genevieve Miller taps a wide range of contributors (from knitwear designers to students) to create a collection of 28 wearables, accessories, and toys that can be knit for adults or kids. Inspired by the recent resurgence of fairy-tale and fantasy characters, these projects draw from classic stories as well as pop-culture phenomena featuring romantic, feminine costumes. Projects range from kid- and teen-friendly animals hats to an Alice in Wonderland beret to a crystal-embellished vest fit for a Snow Queen, adding a little dress-up fun to knitters' everyday wardrobes.GENEVIEVE MILLER is a Southern California native who learned how to knit when she was eleven. She is happily married to a great guy who doesn't mind the house being taken over by a giant yarn stash, and she is the mother of three kids who are willing to wear things knit by Mom. Genevieve is the author of Vampire Knits and a contributor to Knits for Nerds. She lives in Pasadena, California, where she can be found reading fairy tales, knitting, or teaching kids how to knit.
