Originally published in 2009 as one of the first pattern collections to be released as a mystery subscription, Whimsical Little Knits contains some of Ysolda’s most popular designs. The collection is available as a printed book, perfectly sized for your project bag, and an ebook. All printed book purchases include access to the ebook. Every pattern in the collection can also be purchased individually — no more having to buy a whole book when you know you’ll only knit one pattern, although of course buying the collection as a whole is better value.
