Knit Style is a collection of 25 gorgeous knitted accessories. Each original item is knitted in today’s most popular yarns and shown in original full-color photography. Geared to the beginner and veteran knitter alike, the collection features such fashion favorites as a beret, a beaded choker, a shrug with “fur” collar and cuffs, a chunky poncho, and a delicate capelet with bell sleeves. Bracelets, gloves and armlets, belts, and sashes are also included. Notable is Knit Style’s format, an easel-back, spiral-bound book that allows “hands free” access to the information on each beautifully illustrated page. Knit Style is the perfect guide to creating the “now” looks without breaking the bank.
