Summer Free-range Knitting Guide
Unleash yourself. Paint with yarn. Color with yarn. Let lines guide you rather than box you in. The free-range summer knitting guide offers a guiding design, techniques, and plenty of options to explore knitting as creative self-expression with wraps, shrugs and scarves. The key is to experiment, explore, and play, creating your own piece of wearable art rather than someone else’s concept.
Because free-range knitting is a perfect refuge against rules, regulations, and what-not-to-dos, no wrongs exist, only opportunities for discovery. Some of the loveliest designs emerge from knitters who can’t tell you what they did to create such wonder.Still, this guide does provide all the support anyone needs to duplicate the designs shown. There are three types -- shrugs, wraps and scarves -- available in all three versions. Knit a Seascape Shrug or the Leaflings Lace shrug or a wrap for either. This is how modified rectangles grow into something interesting.
The mood is light and airy, free-spirited and adventurous. The Guide will help you to choose colors and yarns, shows how to combine stitches and provides plenty of options to explore. It’s 35 lavishly illustrated pages.
Never tried to knit off the grid? Here’s your chance.
As for sizing, this one is designed to fit your specific measurements. In both shrugs, I give you simple instructions for tailoring it to fit your back measurements so this can easily go from a size 6+++
