If you're a bit of a star-spotter then you will love Knitted Icons by Carol Meldrum. Including patterns for stars of the stage and screen, such as Madonna, King Kong, Audrey Hepburn, Mr. T and Elvis, these cute knitted tributes would make great presents for friend-fans.

With a combination of knitting and sewing, you have to be slightly multi-talented, but don't worry too much because the book contains diagrams and instructions for all of the skills you'll need.

This is one seriously cute little read. So, who'll be on your A-list knit list?
