Custom Shawls for the Curious and Creative Knitter

Kate Atherley & Kim McBrien Evans

Description

This book will equip adventurous knitters with the skills to knit and create shawls and wraps of all shapes and sizes and will help them forge their own shawl-knitting paths.

Tips and tutorials address the technical aspects of shawl knitting, from shaping to adapting stitch patterns to making colour and fabric choices. A gallery of patterns using hand-spun and hand-dyed yarns provides knitters with inspiration for customizing and creating their own designs.

More than a dozen patterns illustrate the featured knitting techniques. One third of the patterns are aimed at beginning knitters, one third teaches intermediate knitters new skills for intriguing results, and one third offers creative instruction in customizing.
