Bestselling author and knitwear star Debbie Bliss brings you more than 20 new knitted projects for children, women, men and the home in this easy-to-use, award-winning designer’s workbook—complete with patterns and knitter’s graph paper. Bliss’s own beloved yarn range is used throughout the book, with plenty of suggestions for alterations and adjustments.
Projects include a Fair Isle cardigan, herringbone jacket and smock dress, and the workbook provides knitters all the keys to successful patternmaking. Bliss devotes each chapter to an individual design element, shape, color, or texture, and the introduction covers everything from selecting yarns and determining gauge to reading charts and patterns. It’s easy to see why this book was the winner of the Gold Medal in the Craft/DIY category in the 2009 Independent Publisher Awards.
