To Knit a Ghost

Hardcover

Grades Preschool – 3
Ages 4–8

A crafty little witch and cast of distracting ghosts give knitting advice in this sweet and funny story that includes step-by-step instructions so little ones can knit their very own ghost!

Knitting a ghost is easy.
To knit a ghost, you need to cast on some stitches.
Cast? Like a spell?
Nope. Different kind of casting.

Join a little witch on her knitting journey as she navigates ghostly distractions, a hungry cat, tangled yarn... and learns that real magic comes from not giving up—even when things become trying. 

Includes Knitting for Little Witches at the back, a step-by-step knitting guide so your little witches can put their newly acquired skills to use! Perfect for grown-up crafters to share with kids or for young knitters eager to try their first project.

"Sweet and playful, imbued with a heady message about perseverance in the face of vexation." —Kirkus Reviews

"A charming narrative that exhibits the crafting spirit and provides future knitters a project to assist." —School Library Journal

"A cute story to inspire knitters-to-be." —Booklist

"It’s all very cozy—cups of tea, comfy chairs, yummy food, bubble baths—in the witch’s house, and the overarching messages of perseverance and accomplishment are decidedly non-spooky....convivial and lively." —The Horn Book
