Book Synopsis Easy Knits for Beautiful Yarns by : Toby Roxane Barna
Download or read book Easy Knits for Beautiful Yarns written by Toby Roxane Barna and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 113 pages.

Gorgeous hand-dyed, variegated, self-striping, speckled, and other fun yarns abound for the knitter today, but sometimes the color variations and changes can make it difficult to find patterns that allow the yarn to shine. Oftentimes, the simpler the pattern, the more the yarn gets to take center stage. With this in mind, Toby designed all of the pieces in this book--hats, shawls, mittens, sweaters, and more--to let the yarn be the main feature. The 21 designs are written at a level for the motivated knitter who has made a scarf or two and is ready to move on to something a little more interesting and unique. Sidebars with photos and notes explain techniques that may be unfamiliar to beginners so that you can fearlessly make any piece.
