A Source Book of 50 Charted Designs
Lucinda Guy
Whether seeking the perfect motif for embellishing the pocket of a child’s
cardigan or inspiration for a colorful baby blanket, this practical reference
is an essential sourcebook of custom knitting projects for babies and children.
Each of the 50 designs includes charts, knitted swatches, and alternative colorways
for a range of subjects from flowers and animals to folklore and geometric designs.
Featuring illustrated ideas for children’s socks, mittens, hats, and more,
this guide includes thoughtful suggestions for the placing and color combinations
of motifs. Included in the final chapters is practical information on Fair Isle
and Intarsia knitting techniques, as well as a guide to basic embroidery.
