Knitting guru Norah Gaughan shows you how to make rectangles, squares,
and simple shapes--then fold, twist, and pleat them to create unique,
fashionable clothes and accessories
Simple shapes are ideal for the novice knitter, but the clever folds and
fastenings of Knit, Fold, Pleat, Repeat will intrigue the experienced
crowd too. These techniques are easy to learn, and the design
possibilities--and new combinations that come to light once you
begin--are nearly endless. Each design starts with a simple rectangle,
square, or triangle and builds from there: to fold, drape, or twist the
shape into a garment or accessory, and to introduce pleats, welts, and
slices along the way. Every pattern has a gorgeous high-fashion style,
and the projects are so addictive to knit--you may find yourself making
the same garment in new colors and yarns so you'll have one for each
season. The book includes thirty-six patterns in all, each with
variations.
