Description
Knitting is undergoing a revival, with a new generation of kniters discovering the joys of this traditional craft. The 25 original projects in Handmade Style: Knit include garments and accessories such as scarves, bags, hats, slippers and sweaters. In addition, there are projects for homewares, including cushions and rugs, and even some unusual beaded jewellery. A techniques section at the front of the book provides introductory guidance for novice knitters. All of the projects include clearly explained methods and step-by- step photographs illustrate each technique that is used.
