Knitted lace has a long history. The delicate tracery of openings that both veil and reveal what lies beneath has beguiled knitters for centuries. Although a fabric designed around patterns of eyelets or holes hasnt the warmth or insulating properties of solid stockinette stitch, knitters have incorporated hundreds of lace patterns into their work simply to enjoy the delicate beauty of lace and experience the pleasure that comes from knitting it.
Following the format of Scarf Style and Wrap Style, Lace Style is a book about knitting lace as well as a book of lace projects to knit. Its a collection of patterns from eighteen talented and inventive knitwear designers from across the country, each of whom has incorporated holes into knitted fabric in her own, unique way. Every design offers an individual lesson in inspiration, technique, application, and of course, style. As a collection, the patterns will give you new ways to think about knitting lace and provide you with endless creative possibilities.
Whether youre new to knitting lace or have been knitting lace forever, youll want to spend some time with the Design Notebook (). From the Notebook, you can learn how to make yarnover increases and various types of decreases that interact with one another to produce the openwork patterns we call lace. Youll discover ways to get the look of lace without knitting a single increase or decrease. Youll also learn how to read lace charts, incorporate lace motifs into your own designs, block your lace projects, and avoid (or fix) lace-knitting errors.
At the end of Lace Style, youll find a glossary of terms and techniques that includes illustrated instructions for all the specific techniques mentioned in the projects. Along with the easy-to-follow directions and clear illustrations in the project and design chapters, the glossary will provide the help you need to successfully complete any project in this book.
So get some yarn, grab your needles, and knit up some holes.
Mari Lynn Patrick
Sometimes two yarns are better than oneespecially when theyre two weights of the same luscious alpacaas Mari Lynn Patrick demonstrates in this wear-everywhere wrap jacket. Mari Lynn used a DK-weight yarn for the garter stitch body and sleeves, then knitted a large-scale edging in a lighter weight yarn for the fold-over front edges and collar. The delicate lace provides an interesting contrast to the rustic garter stitch, and is echoed in a small eyelet detail on the cuffs. Garter stitch ties hold the wrap closed at the waist.
