Urban Knit Collection

Description

From city grates to garden gates, stained glass to satin sashes, the 1920s and 1930s were all about fantastic design. All of which can still be seen in today's urban landscapes. Translated through the needles of knitwear designer Kyle Kunnecke, the geometric style, linear intersections, and marvelous motifs of the Golden Age have inspired the gorgeous collection of knitted garments and accessories for men and women found in Urban Knit Collection. Whether your style is uptown, downtown, or somewhere in between, Urban Knit Collection has you covered! Written for a range of skill levels, Kyle's detailed patterns include tutorials on a variety of construction and finishing techniques, from choosing yarn and reading charts to locking floats. These 18 garments and accessories include sweaters, cardigans, shawls, hats, cowls and more. Each project invit's you to stitch details of historic city sights that lead to contemporary finished projects for today's streets.

"It is instantly clear that Kyle is a master of colorwork. Many of the colorwork patterns in the book could stop traffic. This is a book full of beautiful projects designed by a skilled artist and teacher." --Knitty.com
