Knitting guru Norah Gaughan shows you how to make rectangles,
squares, and simple shapes-then fold, twist, and pleat them to
create unique, fashionable clothes and accessories Simple shapes
are ideal for the novice knitter, but the clever folds and
fastenings of Knit, Fold, Pleat, Repeat will intrigue the
experienced crowd too. These techniques are easy to learn, and the
design possibilities-and new combinations that come to light once
you begin-are nearly endless. Each design starts with a simple
rectangle, square, or triangle and builds from there: to fold,
drape, or twist the shape into a garment or accessory, and to
introduce pleats, welts, and slices along the way. Every pattern
has a gorgeous high-fashion style, and the projects are so
addictive to knit-you may find yourself making the same garment in
new colors and yarns so you'll have one for each season. The book
includes thirty-six patterns in all, each with variations.
Boys and girls alike will be stepping out in style as well as warm
and toasty when wearing one of these fashionable hats. Some
especially for girls, some just for boys and some unisex designs,
all made using worsted-weight yarn. Stripes, solids, crochet floral
embellishments as well as pom-poms make up these 15 adorable
designs. Instructions are written for head circumference: Small:
16-17", Medium: 17.5-18", Large: 18.5-20".
A collection of 39 original, creative designs for knitted rugs.

techniques such as crocheting, applique, weaving, and more.
Fortunately, sock yarn can be used for more than simply keeping
toes toasty. In "Sock Yarn One-Skien Wonders: 101 Patterns That Go
Way Beyond Socks!" veteran knitter Judith Durant has chosen not
simply inventive sock patterns but also more than 5 dozen inspired
patterns for other items that can be created from a single skein of
sock yarn. The latest in Storey's enormously popular "One-Skein
Wonders" series, "Sock Yarn One-Skien Wonders" offers one-of-a-kind
patterns for baby clothes, mittens, scarves, hats, jewellery,
cosies, bags...even a dog sweater and a lamp shade! Contributed by
yarn shops and designers, the patterns are as fetching as they are
fun to knit. Knitters of every skill level will find tantalizing
challenges; some knit up in fewer than three hours, others make
creative use of sock yarn leftovers, and several make
heirloom-worthy gifts. Collectively, these patterns bring out the
best of sock yarn...whether variegated or solid-coloured,
self-patterning or hand-painted. "Sock Yarn One-Skien Wonders" has
an easy-to-browse layout, four-color photos throughout,
step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations and charts, and
stylish patterns. With this book in their knitting bags, needle
crafters will take their stash of sock yarn well beyond stockinged
feet to a delightful world of possibility.

different styles to choose from including simpler variations of the
socks such as leg warmers and ankle socks so, even if you are an
inexperienced knitter, you can create a beautiful traditional
design. Knitted socks have always played an important role in
traditional Latvian culture: girls are taught to knit at a young
age and it is traditional for brides to give socks and mittens as a
gift to guests on their wedding day. This collection captures the
essence of these stunning folk patterns and shows how you can mix
these traditional designs with your contemporary wardrobe.
Europe's hippest textile genius throws the rulebook out the window
with a knitting book like never before. Tired of dowdy knitting
patterns? Bored of videos made by traditionalists with no sense of
fun? Freaked out by complicated instructions that leave no room for
mistakes? Do you want to learn to knit fur? How about some funky
patterns for children's clothes that kids will love? Well, Laerke
Bagger is here for you. Known for her exuberant use of color and
textures, this young textile artist is rapidly gaining a fanatical
worldwide following. In this unique guide, she offers advice for
knitters of every level, as well as fifteen basic patterns that can
be varied infinitely to suit individual skill sets, tastes, and
materials. There are illustrated instructions for making socks,
scarves and sweaters-but you'll also find ideas for creating
babysuits, scrunchies, T-shirts and even a prom dress. In addition
to eschewing perfection, the Laerke Bagger technique involves tying
knots instead of sewing the ends of yarn, recycling every inch of
wool, and letting mistakes be a part of the design. With names like
the Carpe Diem Sweater, the Bad Idea Top and the Easy Peasy Pillow,
her knits are easily translated to fit whatever mood you're in.
Along the way, Laerke Bagger dispenses unique pearls of wisdom for
living in today's hectic world.
Knitting is an enduringly popular and creative craft, but many
associate the techniques primarily with hand knitting, believing
machine knitting to require arcane knowledge. However, machine
knitting is formed from the same stitch structures and is equally
versatile. Translating between Hand and Machine Knitting

new possibilities for dedicated knitters, offering an equally
creative yet timesaving method of crafting new designs. With over
500 images, this comprehensive guide offers detailed step-by-step
explanations of techniques in both hand and machine knitting,
whilst also offering inspiration and design advice. Dr Vikki
Haffenden, a highly experienced knit designer, technical knitter
and educator, shares the knowledge and understanding she has
accumulated over a career designing for the knitted textile and
knitwear industry and as a lecturer in knitted textile design.

Knitwear is a highly influential, though sometimes overlooked,
element of contemporary fashion. Its simple yet amazingly versatile
textile structure offers endless possibilities for exploration. To
develop a successful collection the knitwear designer must design
both fabric and garment, employing a range of creative and
technical skills. Written for fashion, textile and knitwear design
students and young professional designers, Fashion Knitwear Design
provides advice on the diverse skills needed to take a knitwear
design from initial idea to finished product. The entire design
process is covered, including research and concept development,
fabric and garment design development, pattern cutting and garment
construction. Chapters on yarns and structures support the reader
to build the technical understanding that underpins any successful
design. Fashion Knitwear Design is written by a team of specialists
who deliver Nottingham Trent University's highly respected fashion
knitwear design courses, including the only undergraduate degree
within the UK to focus solely on the subject.
This book provides 20 beautiful, stylish designs for crocheted

crochet stitches with added embellishments such as buttons and
beads. Some of the purses have attractive fabric linings and others
include pretty embroidered motifs. All of the materials used will
