Michael Pearson's Traditional Knitting - Michael Pearson

Michael Pearson’s Traditional Knitting is a richly illustrated paperback that brings together distinctive, centuries-old patterns gathered from remote fishing villages across Scotland and England. Drawing on oral traditions, documents, family albums and photographs, Pearson compiles an extensive record that captures both the character of these communities and the living history of their craft.

Alongside social history, the book provides detailed patterns and practical instructions for knitters, with a focus on knitting stitches and general reference. This new and expanded edition includes 32 pages in colour, making it an engaging addition to a knitting library as well as a useful resource when planning and working through traditional designs.
