Description

The simplest stitch--the most spectacular results! A collection of knitting patterns by the industry's leading designers featuring garter stitch in unique and clever ways, featuring a foreword from knitwear designer Holli Yeoh! In this gorgeous collection, each project highlights garter stitch in its detail work, as a supporting role for other stitches, or as the star of the show. In projects such as Be True Fingerless Mitts and the Flapper Cloche, the beauty is in the details created with the use of the garter stitch. In the Beachcomber Braided Poncho, the Santa Monica Cardigan, and more, you'll discover how perfect the garter stitch can be for offsetting other stitch patterns.
