Written by a pioneer of modern fashion knitwear, Classic Knits of
the 1980s describes the principal fundamentals of knitwear design
and features original, colourful, textural and fun knitting
patterns that capture the fashion zeitgeist of the 1980s designer
knitwear boom. As well as selling ready-made knitwear to stores,
several designers made their patterns available as home knitting
kits. Classic Knits of the 1980s features a range of innovative
designs from Sandy Black knitting kits, many published here for the
first time. The patterns are suitable for a broad range of knitting
skills, from those with good basic knowledge of knitting to the
more experienced knitter. Made up of two parts: Part 1 establishes
the fashion and knitwear context of the period and its influence on
the development of the designs, examining the entire creative
process from inspiration to final pattern. Lavishly illustrated
with photographs, diagrams and charts, special features include
patchwork (modular) designs and intarsia or colour-block knitting,
with techniques and tips for pattern calculations, working from
charts and handling several colours. Part 2 then offers twenty-one
original patterns and designs, grouped into themes of textural,
graphic, heraldic and ornamental, plus the unique Siamese cat,
leopard and tiger accessories. Contemporary photography, together
with original images from the 1980s, illustrates the designs'
timeless appeal, with close-up images of intricate pattern details
and suggested design variations to aid creative knitters inspired
by this pivotal decade.
