This book is full of 24 stylish designs

that include boleros, capes, shrugs & crop tops.

Annie has created this book so that

you can create moderate to small projects

that you will be able to use and look good in.

They are designed to be a quicker knit

than saying knitted a sweater but

more substantial than just making a hat.

There are however some patterns that include

matching accessories such as a hat or gauntlets.

The main patterns are in written format but

charts are also supplied for repeating patterns.

There are also size guides to help you make

a correct fitting garment.

Where Annie has used a different technique

such as triple twist drop stitch,

she provides you with instructions and clear

pictures to help you complete the stitch.

Each of the designs are in multiple sizes

and they are also designed so they are

easier to re-size to what you require.

The patterns are varied and are for different levels

of knitter.

There are patterns such as the basketweave bolero

that are at an easy level and use basic

stitches to create the unique look.

Different techniques are used in the book

to create the designs, such as entrelac.

Annie uses different yarns to create different

looks to each of the garments as well as the

changes in stitches and shapes.

 

There are the most amazing designs that

have a real Downton Abbey look like the

The Lace Cuff Shrug.

Annie's use of colours is fantastic.

Her stained glass circular jacket

is spectacular

and her Strasbourg Cape is beautiful.

As a beginner knitter I'm going to stick

to the easy patterns but once my confidence

is better I am going to work my way through the book.

A special book with the most gorgeous patterns!
