This is a stylish collection of classic hand knitwear designs using generic weights of yarn, 4 ply, DK and Aran. The book is built around a selection of garment shapes, jackets, cardigans and sweaters, with classic sleeve variations. All the designs have a modern twist, with detailing, simple colour work, beading and texture at collar and cuffs, but essentially the garments are knitted in just one colour.
Photographed in a contemporary way, using interesting layouts, this book will appeal to a wide range of knitters who are looking for a stylish and sophisticated approach to classic knitting. A vital part of the concept is the section that shows how to alter patterns to ensure a perfect fit. The timeless appeal of all these designs means the patterns will be used again and again, perhaps in different colourways or with different detailing.
Louisa Harding has been a major Rowan designer for 12 years, creating ready-to-wear collections for Europe, the USA and the Far East. In 1997 she became brand coordinator and designer for Jaeger Handknits, but is best known for her adorable Miss Bea range of books.
