More Description
Featuring a variety of patterns for women’s apparel and accessories that all use the same gauge, this knitting book helps crafters save time by skipping the step of creating a gauge swatch for each item. A gauge swatch is essential for achieving well-fitting garments but stifles the excitement of starting a new project; therefore, all seven original designs in this guide use the same needles and Cascade 220 Superwash yarn, which is widely available and comes in more than 150 colors. A workbook section in the beginning of the book allows knitters to record the yarn and needle sizes used to get the gauge so that they can return to the book again and again without unnecessary extra work. The easy and intermediate projects include three different cardigans, a bag, a pair of slippers, a hat, and a cowl.
