Now it's easy to design your own knit! Start with one of the 12 basic pattern "recipes" for pieces such as a hat, pullover, shawl, scarf, socks, tee, mitts, tunic, or cardigan. Choose nearly any yarn and a stitch pattern from the 85 4-stitch multiple patterns in the stitch dictionary, and you are on your way to your own unique knitted piece. Make cabled mitts, a lace cardigan, a textured stole, a ribbed pullover, or any of over 700 possible combinations. Best yet, you can knit with any yarn that works to a gauge of 3-8 stitches per inch, so you can use that perfect yarn in your stash you've been saving and design just the right project for it. It is so exciting to make your own one-of-a-kind knits, and this book makes it so easy!
