top-down or bottom-up construction. Knitting at
different angles gives the projects unique shaping
and fashion-forward silhouettes.
The projects are both classic and stylish,
incorporating clever combinations of textured
stitches and design details.
Learn new techniques for knitting sideways
and every which way and make seventeen
contemporary, wearable patterns with
