Product Description
Product Description
Let's say you want to personalise or embellish an existing knitting pattern. Perhaps it's a plain sweater and you want to add edging to the cuffs or put a sunflower or an aeroplane motif on the pocket of a child's cardigan or incorporate a textured stitch, such as Fair Isle, to the yoke of a knitted jacket...the possibilities for embellishment are endless. 1000 Great Knitting Motifs will help you choose a colourful stitch pattern and/or motifs to create a unique garment. To help whittle down the huge number of options, stitch patterns suitable for children are flagged with a little icon. Each chart comes with data indicating the number of stitches and the number of rows required to repeat a single pattern. Repeats are shown on the charts. Some charts are shown in different colourways. There are 1000-charted motifs to pick, from traditional ones used by knitters from Northern Europe to the Middle East to new classics from around the world. Use a favourite pattern but change the look so it can be worn on a different occasion. Add an icon, a pretty flower or a symbol to suit the wearer's character, and design the perfect birthday gift for a loved one that will be cherished for years.
About the Author
Luise Roberts was taught at an early age by her mother how to knit and sew. However, it was with a degree in graphic design and earning a living designing books, in particular several knitting books, that rekindled her interest in knitting. With a new enthusiasm and fresh ideas, she is keen to convey this passion to others. Luise lives in London.
