Do you love shawls but find them hard to wear? Struggle to get gauge? Have a stash full of special, single skeins? Then Curls are just what you've been looking for!
Each of these 14 new patterns creates a delightfully curved shape that drapes beautifully around your neck and shoulders. They're easy to wear in lots of different ways, work at any gauge and can be knit to any size. Let your favorite skein of yarn determine your gauge and the size of your project. Make a cowl, a scarf or a shawl. You're in charge and you're going to love the results.
One small note, the structure of these pieces lends itself much better to charted instructions than to written out instructions. So please be aware that all the patterns use charts. If you're new to charts, never fear. There is a lovely introduction to using charts at the front of the book. Read through it, and you'll be ready to go in no time!

About the Author

Hunter Hammersen didn't really like knitting the first time she tried it. She didn't much care for it the second time either. It wasn't till the third time, and the discovery of knitted socks, that she was properly smitten. Once she realized she could make up her own patterns, her fate was sealed. She's been busy designing ever since.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Hunter Hammersen was supposed to stay in school for a shockingly long time, get a respectable-sounding job, and quietly become a proper grownup. Instead she got distracted by colorful string, started writing knitting books, and fled to the rocky coast of Maine where she spends a frankly alarming amount of time in her back yard taking pictures of yarn. But don't tell anyone...she's still slightly worried someone will find out she escaped and try to drag her back to that other life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, with new designs
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017

I bought the first Curls book, and loved it. I'm working on a wrap from the first book, and it is really fun and easy once you understand how the construction works. The author has again brought some great designs in her new book Curls 2. The best thing about this book, and her designs is that you can use any weight of yarn, and any needle size, It's up to you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Had To Purchase After Purchasing Book 1
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2019

Love all her books and have every single one of them.
I’ve said it before and will say it again, her explanations for this technique she’s came up with is easy to understand, and once you do get it, it’s easy to master her beautiful designs.
My advice is to take your time, find a quiet corner, and read through how she constructs these before attempting to jump in a start.

I haven't finished one yet but have swatched a couple of patterns to get the hang of it. Love that you can pick any yarn and needles you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Anyone with a Stash
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2016

This is a really novel approach to knitting scarfs and shawls. If you have a yarn stash, this book should be part of your library. Without giving away what's inside, this concept allows you to use what you have, both yarn and needles, to create beautiful one of a kind accessories. I've made one so far, but I can tell you this will be my go to book for this type of garment going forward.

This follow up to the first Curls book is just as fantastic. I love his designs, the book is very clearly laid out, the charts are easy to follow, and the pictures are beautiful. I’m on my second Curl already, and got so many compliments on the first one! Love it!!!

I now own both of the Curls books and love them - the patterns are beautiful and easy to follow, and there's enough variety to take care of most of my holiday gifts without repeating a pattern!

3.0 out of 5 stars A good guide for new knitters
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2016
Verified Purchase
The formatting of the charts in a simple set of building blocks is very clever, but you don't really need a full booklet of patterns to know how to map any stitch pattern onto a similar grid and make a little wrap with yarns you might have around. I was actually a bit disappointed that the book didn't give more inspiration and include color work or brioche techniques. I would recommend it for new knitters but not for advanced knitters looking for new techniques.

Ces châles sont très beaux. J'en ai terminé un et il est parfait. Cependant, sa forme inhabituelle le rend un peu plus difficile à porter. Je vais devoir apprendre à bien le draper. Les broches pour bloquer sont très utiles pour un projet de ce genre. Je recommande.

★日本の物とは記号が違いますが編み図が付いています。
（日本と違って作り目は1段目と数えないので、作り目以降を1段目として書かれています）
反対に、言葉で記述してある英文パターンではありません。
英文パターンではありませんが、英語での表目、裏目、2目一度などの意味が分からないと編めないと思います。
（この本には一切、日本の編み物本のような、親切な図による編み方（表目、裏目、2目一度）などの指南はありません）
★添付画像を見てもらえれば分かる通り、パターンを幾つかのブロックに分けてあり、
それによってブロックを組みたてるように、好み大きくすることも可能なようです。
★巻末に各作品に使用した毛糸の情報（銘柄、糸の太さ、大まかな使用量）の記載はありますが、
使用した針の太さの記載はありません。
自分でゲージを取って、いい感じの針を選べって感じ見たいです。

英語が碌に読めない人のレビューですが、無いよりましかなって事で、参考になれば。
