Each knitting pattern includes precise instruction and robust information on yarn selection and substitution
Beautiful photography throughout offers ideas and inspiration for all ages and skill levels, including supporting photos for tricky or less commonly-known techniques

Dedication
For my mom, who nurtured my love for both books and fashion.

Acknowledgments
Thanks most of all to my agent, Lindsay Edgecomb, who conceived the idea for this book and was generous enough to entrust it to me.
Thanks to Roxane Cerda and Cindy Kitchel, both thoughtful, engaged, and just plain fun editors; to project editors Charlotte Kughen and Carol Pogoni, who carefully whipped my manuscript into shape; and scrupulous and elegant technical editor Therese Chynoweth, who deciphered even my clumsiest instructions, smoothed out the lumps, and gave the patterns precision.
Thanks to my many friends and their children who were kind enough to model my patterns: Elise Artzer; Brian, Briza, Loretta, and Stanley Buscemi; Lucy Friedman; Rebecca Gonzales; Trish Hurless and her daughter Sadie Rose; Kyplee, Kailynn, and Treyanne Jacobsen (and their mom, Sherri); Suzanne Link and Jay Mahavier; Kristi Lohr; Rachel Kieserman; Marilyn Martinez and her daughter Ruby Martinez-Jones; Ron Miller; Charlene Osman; Lester Saucier; and Jennifer, Lucy, Sam, and Jacob Schermerhorn.
Thanks to Gilbert Garcia and Yolanda Torres for use of their cars for Sal Paradise, and to W3LL PEOPLE and makeup artist Christine Stafford for location and makeup for Emma.
Special thanks also to Ron for all the style input, and forgiving the embroidery scissors and darning needles scattered underfoot and in the bed, and for helping me keep up with the rest of my life while I was knitting and knitting and knitting.
Finally, a big thanks to all the companies that provided yarn support (that’s free yarn to you and me): Spincycle Yarns, Malabrigo Yarn, Colourmart, Cascade Yarns, Louet, Valley Yarns, Blue Sky Alpacas, Lion Brand Yarn, The Wicked Stitch, and Knit Picks.

About the Author

Preface
I can’t say exactly why a love of literature and a love of knitting fit together hand-in-glove. Perhaps it’s because both reading and knitting demand imagination, focus, a willing suspension of disbelief, and a bit of nerdiness. Or maybe it’s because both books and knitting start with basic building blocks that can combine and recombine in any number of surprising ways.
Whatever the reason, avid knitters are very often avid readers, and I’m no exception. So when Lindsay Edgecombe (fellow knitter and literary agent) approached me about creating knitting patterns inspired by favorite literary characters, I think I actually clapped my hands and squealed with glee.
I’m not sure whether I was more thrilled to knit the designs or to re-read all my old favorites, many of which I hadn’t touched since childhood. (And with the simpler patterns or with audio books, you can do both at once!)
Of course, it was nearly impossible to cull my giant master list down to a book-sized selection (and I still have a mammoth list of future designs waiting in the wings), but here I present an assortment of projects inspired by the women, men, and children from some of my favorite books. While a few items are modern-construction rewrites of antique patterns, I didn’t strive for historical accuracy because I didn’t want the patterns to be relegated to art pieces or historical reenactments. Instead, I tried to give a nod to the spirit of the character or era while still producing a very knittable, wearable, modern garment. I hope you enjoy knitting them as much as I did.
