Lace Knitting Guide: Learn How to Knit Lace Wraps and Scarves for Every Season with Lightweight Yarn, Open-Work Stitches, and Simple Finishing($18.87Value)

Description

Lace knitting looks like it belongs in a museum, but it is built from just two moves. A yarn over wraps the yarn around the needle to create a hole. A decrease merges two stitches into one to keep the fabric from growing wider. That is the entire technique. Every leaf, diamond, chevron, and star you have ever admired in a lace shawl is made from those two moves arranged in different positions across the row. The difference between a knitter who admires lace and a knitter who makes it is not talent or years of experience. It is understanding how yarn overs and decreases work together, learning to read the chart that tells you where to place them, and discovering that blocking transforms a crumpled mess into breathtaking fabric. In this book, you will learn about: How lace knitting works and why it produces such dramatic results from simple stitches - Choosing yarn, needles, and accessories that make lace knitting easier - Working yarn overs, right-leaning, left-leaning, and centred decreases - Blocking techniques that transform your knitting into finished fabric - Shaping lace into rectangles, triangles, and semicircles - Fixing mistakes without starting over, including lifelines and stitch repair Every technique is explained in plain language with illustrations, and each chapter builds on the one before it. If you can knit and purl, you can knit lace. If you are ready to create elegant, open-work fabric that catches the light and draws compliments every time you wear it, then you can scroll up towards the BUY button to get started.
