Beautiful Knitting Patterns

"Expect regular stitchers to embrace Klopper's compendium of 250-plus choices."—Booklist

With the more than 250 old and new knitting patterns displayed in 300 colorful photos, knitters can make their creative fashion dreams come true. Of course, the collection includes a selection of remarkably simple, yet stunningly beautiful, knit and purl stitches. But there's much more: Brioche stitch patterns that result in a voluminous and very soft knit; Cable patterns for decorating rustic sweaters and jackets; Openwork and See-Through variations; traditional multi-colored and single knit Jacquard or Norwegian style; Aran and British fisherman patterns; and Rib, Lace, and Patchwork designs. Each one comes with easy to follow knitting charts, patterns, and descriptions for effortless success, and advice on needles and combining stitches.
