Illustrated with beautiful color photography, this pattern book offers fun and imaginative scarf designs for knitters of all levels.
• Scarves are often the first garments beginning knitters try. Then, when they feel ready for a greater creative thrill, they move on to other types of garments. In Knitting New Scarves, Lynne Barr beckons all levels of knitters back to their humble beginnings and then wows them with 27 spectacularly modern designs, each created using an innovative new technique or a unique take on a traditional one.
• This novel approach, which dares knitters to rethink what is possible by simply manipulating knits and purls, leads to a collection of flattering, functional, and fun-to-make accessories. Imagine a scarf that looks like a strand of black pearls or unfolds like an accordion, one that playfully draws inspiration from the famed Chanel jacket or a twisting futuristic high-rise.
• Every scarf is shown in its finished form in beautiful still-lifes by photographer Tyllie Barbosa, and, when unusual techniques are called for, up-close step-by-step photos are provided as well. This means every scarf in this masterful collection is both captivating and accessible for all levels of knitters.

"New techniques for even the most experienced knitter! – There have been a lot of lovely knitting books that have come out in recent months but none that has made me as excited as this one. I wasn't sure whether to get it or not as I am not that keen on scarf knitting to be honest but I thought I'd give it a go. I really wasn't prepared for what was hiding beneath the rather unexciting covers. This book is full of new ways of looking at knitting and the patterns rely on exciting ways to construct shapes, often based on architectural inspiration.
As soon as I started looking at the patterns I just wanted to get out my needles to try the techniques which involve short rows to form curves which I am familiar with, but also using double pointed needles to pick up and move stitches and wander off into experiments of design and construction.
I think this is possibly one of the most exciting knitting books I have ever seen and I can't recommend it highly enough for those who want to move out of the box and experiment with new ideas."

"3-D KNITTING WITH BELLS ON! – Absolutely superb book - bought as an addition to my knitting library, but it is actually an amazing investment. If you are interested in knitting WAY outside your comfort zone - in three dimensions and a multitude of directions - then this is a fabulous starting point."
