Synopsis This gorgeous coffee-table book by internationally renowned textile designer Kaffe Fassett presents a treasury of his intricate multicolored patterns, broken down into individual motifs. The first two sections of the book feature full-color photographs of the patterns. The third section charts the patterns, discusses what inspired them, suggests yarn and color types, and proposes various ways to repeat the motifs. The fourth section of the book explains how to use the patterns in various kinds of garments, discusses color choices in a more general way, and advises, through both text and photo examples, how to combine individual patterns into one design. Finally, there is a short illustrated glossary of color knitting techniques. Bold knitters who want to explore complex patterns and color combinations will love this book; and even the more easily intimidated will be able to dive in and start knitting, thanks to the way that Fassett partitions his grand designs into simpler, easier-to-follow modules. Using this book will transform knitted items into works of art.
