Knitting Nature: 39 Designs Inspired by Patterns in Nature
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This book presents thirty-nine knitting designs drawn from the natural world. Each pattern begins with the natural form that inspired it, such as the spiral of a ram's horn or a seashell, the branching of fern fronds, or the five-sided symmetry of a starfish. The designer then shows how that structure becomes a scarf, a pullover, a cardigan, a skirt, a hat or a pair of mittens, with clear step-by-step instructions for each piece. Attention to shape and texture runs through the collection, with photography to match.
