Brooke Nico presents 16 projects that offer a fresh and original take on lace knitting. Think sweaters, capelets, tunics and cowls, knit in yarns both thick and thin - contemporary designs that give knitters a wealth of new possibilities. Organized by overall shape - circle, square, triangle, and rectangle - these lovely garments will change the way you look at lace knitting.  Step-by-step illustrations clearly explain any advanced techniques, while every pattern regardless of difficulty contains both written and charted instructions. Carrie Hoge contributes gorgeous and inspiring photos. “Knitters interested in exploring the possibilities of lace beyond conventional shawls knit in lace-weight yarn will appreciate Nico's attractive, chic designs.” - Library Journal
