Adding motifs to your knitting projects is the perfect way to personalise them, and this book features 100 of the most colourful and attractive motifs. If you’re new to knitting, they’re a great way to try out different techniques, and as they only use small amounts of yarn, motifs are perfect stash-busters.
With photographs of every swatch, there are clear patterns and detailed charts throughout. A handy techniques section gives clear instructions for all stitches used, so even a complete novice can make some motifs. The perfect resource for beginners, this is also an inspirational reference guide for more experienced knitters.
Sian Brown fell in love with yarn and knitting while studying for a BA in Fashion and Textiles in Cheltenham, UK. She went on to become a knitwear designer, working full time then freelancing for commercial companies supplying the high street stores, firstly designing factory machine knits and later handknits. Sian has also taught at London College of Fashion on their knitwear course. She now lives on the south Devon coast, and designs handknits for several magazines and yarn companies. Sian has written several books on knitting, including The Knitted Home for GMC Publications.
