It’s a familiar scenario: it’s freezing outside, and a nine-year-old boy wants to go out to play. His mother keeps piling him into more and more knitwear. Groaning ensues. Until that glorious moment when the boy realizes that knitting just might save the day.
Kung Fu Knits is the first combined pattern book / comic book from designer Elizabeth Green Musselman of Dark Matter Knits. Whether your kid is a martial arts fan, loves certain turtles with ninja proclivities, or just enjoys some comic book action, you’ll find this story has wide-ranging appeal. Share the story with your favorite kid and prepare to be begged for every one of these knits.

Kung Fu Knits submitted by SBNB on June 14, 2022, 11:44am Cute story and the patterns look nice.

Cool Idea, Fun Little Book submitted by krogers on June 24, 2023, 8:16pm Cute and inventive, but surprisingly practical in ways I wouldn’t have expected. For instance, not only does it have patterns for a gee (gi), but it also includes patterns for soft throwing stars and nun-chucks, good for little ones and the house alike! The first part is actually a short comic book, which makes a nice blend with the pattern instructions – the comic is actually about a kid using the various items that this book teaches you how to knit.
