Caroline Birkett
Beginning knitters and veterans alike will enjoy creating stylish home accents from the series of beautiful, contemporary projects detailed in this book. The art of knitting is introduced in chapters on tools, equipment, types of yarn, and a variety of basic stitches. Each stitch is presented with photographs and step-by-step instructions followed by a project using that stitch. Using a contemporary color palette, the projects call for soft lamb's wool, mohair, cool cotton, or chunky unspun wool to fashion a wonderful range of decorative items including cushions for chairs and beds, throws for sofas and beds, a baby's blanket, and a table runner. For a professional finishing touch, instructions on how to add decorative details such as edgings, fastenings, pom-poms, and cords are also provided.
