Patterns are well-written and easy to follow, lend themselves to variation and experimentation (handspun? fat yarn? skinny yarn? yarn of a different fiber?) as well. I've worn out one copy, my second is looking rather tired now as well. Even if you only knit one shawl per year you'll enjoy this book! no reviews | add a review

Shawls are currently making a huge comeback in the fashion world, but many people do not realize that the shawl has been worn for many centuries and in many cultures. This collection of patterns and traditions features shawls from around the world. From the Himalayas to Spain, from Iceland to Japan, and from Mexico to Norway, many of the shawls featured here have been taken from examples of historic knitted shawls. Other designs have been translated into knitwear from patterns for woven or lace shawls. Included are 25 patterns as well as historical and cultural information about shawls that have been used for prayer and mourning, as bridal veils, and as christening garments. Each design is presented with a full-page color photo, written instructions, and charts. No library descriptions found. |
