This is a book for hand knitters who love pattern, colour and inspiration, and have a desire to create their own beautiful designs. The 28 knitting patterns for garments and accessories are inspired by textiles and artefacts from all over the world. The garment shapes are easy to knit, allowing the colour and pattern to take centre stage. Each chapter focuses on the culture and textile heritage of a specific country, and also features a Pattern Library, giving the knitter the opportunity to recreate that chapter’s designs using another country’s colours, motifs or patterns. With more than 250 full-colour charts across the book, there will be a pattern to inspire everyone.
