Shawls are practical, versatile, and an ever-popular project among
knitters. Noted designer Melissa Leapman has developed an innovative
technique that promises hundreds of beautiful shawl design options in
Knitting Modular Shawls, Wraps, and Stoles!
Beginning with a simple triangular wedge, Leapman shows how multiple
knit triangles can be joined together to create square, rectangular,
trapezoidal, and semicircular shapes. Her easy and customizable
technique offers knitters of all levels endless flexibility in design
and yarn choices. Charted patterns for 185 different stitches allow
readers to select their favorite embellishment for the main fabric of
their shawl. Colorful photographs of 20 of Leapman's original designs
illustrate the creative potential of this technique.
