Synopsis

Very early knitting designs were based around knitting small squares or panels, which were joined to make a whole. The final piece was trimmed with flounces, frills or edgings of lace. Since the panels could be mixed or put together in different ways, or the edging could be varied at will, the resulting piece was unique to each knitter.

This book features designs inspired from every decade since 1820, and includes an Embellishments section devoted to a wide range of edging designs so the knitter can create her own special and unique heirloom to pass on from generation to generation. All the patterns in the book have been throughly updated, so they can be knitted in contemporary yarns and using modern techniques. This is an exquisite collection of stunning vintage-inspired designs that's sure to be treasured.
