Country Knits by Debbie Bliss & Fiona McTague

Casual country clothing has never been more popular, with top designers like Ralph Lauren and Perry Ellis leading the way. This sumptuous collection of designs shows knitters how to create their own country creations. In this stunning book, one of knitting¹s most creative teams gives a fresh, contemporary look to some classic country clothing. Traditionalists will recognize the inspiration for many of the designs, which range from chunky Guernsey-style sweaters and Aran jackets to tartan and Fair Isle knits. Suited to a lifestyle that is both elegant and practical, the sweaters, skirts, and jackets are as equally at home in the country as on city streets. Although the focus is on women¹s apparel, there are garments for the whole family, and the clear instructions and charts place the patterns within the reach of most knitters. Lavishly illustrated with stylish color photos, Country Knits features patterns for more than 30 beautiful designs.
