The experienced knitter looking for the challenge and enjoyment of designing her own garments will welcome this book for its refreshingly different patterns and styles. The designs were all inspired by nature, and reflects the changing seasons and the varied flowers and animals of the countryside. Bluebells and acorns, drystone walls, pebbles on a beach, summer flowers, birds and animals are all here - on jumpers and other items - ingeniously transformed into attractive geometric designs.
All the design processes are carefully explained and clearly illustrated. The reader is shown how to produce each design; how to make changes to alter the shape; how to alter the design with decorative effects and how to experiment with the pattern and stitches for a more individually expressive design.
The basic shapes are extremely simple, all the techniques involved are clearly explained and demonstrated in accompanying line drawings. Extra interest comes from the fact that other forms of craft work are incorporated with the designs such as applique and embroidery.
Knitting Patterns from Nature is for the reader who has already mastered the basics of creative knitting and who now wants to produce beautiful and original knitwear. There are designs for both machine and hand knitters.
177 line illustrations. 8 colour photographs.
