Synopsis

Those who admire the intricate look of knitted patterns in sweaters and accessories, but have been intimidated by the seemingly difficult technique, will find a wealth of information in Geometric Knitted Patterns. Inside, master knitter Tina Barrett shows readers how to hand knit geometric patterns in a wide range of styles, from minimalist to ornate, and from classic to contemporary. Her clear yet comprehensive instruction includes:

  • Patterns for 750 different geometric patterns, including plaid, Greek key, and more
  • 10 step-by-step projects suitable for knitters of all skill levels
  • Instructions for a range of knitting techniques, including intarsia, Fair Isle, beading, and more
    Each pattern is individually charted on knitter's graph paper--so the finished shape is accurately shown--and selected patterns are illustrated with a knitted swatch. Approximately 1000 color photos, illustrations, and diagrams throughout provide inspiration and instruction.
