Scarf Style: A Beginners Guide to Kniting Scarves What was your first knitting project? The scarf is where many of us start & often return. Scarves never lose their appeal. You can cast on with your favourite yarn & needles & create something beautiful. This book contains 25 up-to-the-minute patterns for all levels of knitting ability starting with the simple rectangle scarf & moving on to a range of exciting creations fun, funky or simply warm & snug! The author uses wonderful combinations of materials & techniques: a simple lace scarf mixes a traditional lace pattern with an unconventional choice of a chunky yarn. A time-honoured fair isle pattern gets a twist (quite literally!) that turns it into an infinite loop. & a chunky cable knit is made ultra feminine by adding eyelets & ribbons. For the beginner knitter, the book uses basic stitches paired with beautiful yarns to create gorgeous scarves. For the more advanced knitter, readers can get into lace patterning, fair isle knitting, & embroidered embellishments. & if you still want more, you can even learn to design your own scarf.
