Hip Graphic Knits

by Lisa Evans, Lisa Evans

25 clever and unique graphic knitting patterns and designs for young knitters Graphic knits have a long history, and this type of knitting is quite popular though typically, the designs have been based on traditional old style motifs like snowflakes, leaves, and flowers. This book gives a growing, younger, experimental audience of knitters a great resource of stylish, contemporary graphics, and shows them how to integrate patterns into knitted sweaters, tanks, bags, hats, legwarmers, and more. The book will show how you can convert any design an 8 ball, a palm tree, an Elvis, a heart with an arrow into a knitting pattern, and translate it into a project. The book covers basic techniques, stripes, intarsia, fair isle, duplicate stitch, embroidery and embellishments, and includes a gallery of graphs for cool projects.

Some interesting ideas.

This book is very hip. It has some very easy and interesting patterns as well as some that are more complicated. What I really like is that it encourages creativity. I wish there were more graphics in the last section, but I really like this book.
