Knit So Fine
Designs with Skinny Yarn
by Lisa R. Myers, Laura Grutzeck, and Carol J. Sulcoski
Put down those chunky yarns and fat needles and discover the creative
possibilities of thin yarns. Think thin yarns are slow and boring to
knit with? Think again! This information-packed book features more than
twenty stylish and contemporary projects knit with lightweight yarns.
Thin is in!
Lightweight yarns have a bad reputation: slow to knit with,
unfashionable, limited to socks and lace, and fussy to deal with. Give
those skinny yarns another look! Projects knit with thin yarns can
range from quick, easy, and daring to bold, elaborate, refined, and
sophisticated. Perfect for all skill levels, the projects in Knit So Fine
show that garments knitted with thin yarns fit more precisely, are more
flattering to the figure, feel better against the skin, are great for
layering, and offer more versatility for fashion elements like ruching,
ruffles, gauzy layers, and drape.
Knit So Fine educates knitters about fine yarns: what they
are, the many advantages of knitting with fine yarns, plus tips and
techniques to make the knitting process more enjoyable. Knitters will
also find stylish and contemporary patterns, including a drapy silk
top, a supple zippered cable hoodie, a bamboo skirt with stunning
drape, a bohus-inspired pullover, a wrap dress, a ruffled scarf, and
much more! Discover the versatility of knitting with fine yarns, from
quick knits and small projects to long-term projects that are worth the
wait, with Knit So Fine.
