This collection capitalizes on the passion for Diana Gabaldon's epic "Outlander" series, with 16 projects that evoke a similar feel to the cozy accessories seen on the Starz TV show. The majority are knit from bulky or superbulky yarn, so they're cozy and quick to knit but lose the drapey feel typical of the show's costuming. Included are cowls, shawls, capelets, and shrugs, as well as a pair of worsted-weight socks, two pairs of boot cuffs, and three pairs of gauntlets/wrist warmers. Many designs feature beginner-friendly stockinette stitch with simple shaping; there are a few with cabled panels, simple lace, and allover cabling. VERDICT Knitters may be drawn by the "Outlander" theme, but their interest here will depend on their willingness to work with extra-large needles (several designs use a size 19 needle) and bulky yarn.
