Description
Intarsia Knits is the first book of German textile and knitwear designer Anna Husemann: it includes 12 knitting patterns using Intarsia motifs which range from bold, graphic designs to softer, organic shapes, providing a diverse selection to explore.
The patterns in this book are made to suit all skill levels. If you have never used the intarsia technique, there are lots of tips and tricks as well as step-by-step instructions so that intarsia beginners can also knit the projects. But there is plenty for even experienced intarsia knitters to discover as the designs play with variations of the technique and combine it with other knitting techniques.
