Synopsis

Returning to print after a decade’s absence, this revised and expanded volume brings together history, analysis and practical instruction for knitters drawn to traditional Aran style. Alice Starmore sets out the background to Aran knitting alongside a workshop approach to technique, pattern and design, supported by step-by-step guidance, photographs and drawings.

The book includes directions and charted patterns for fourteen designs from the original edition, many reknitted in contemporary yarns, plus a new design. Finished caps, sweaters and shawls are shown in colour photographs, while sixty charted patterns are provided to support the design process and encourage the creation of individual patterns. Suitable for both beginners and experienced knitters.
