Patchwork Knitting: 18 Projects to Knit and Crochet [Hardcover]

This book is all about patchwork knitting and crochet. Learn innovative methods to join simple knitted pieces into chic fashion and accessories, including skirts, jackets, scarves, hats, shrugs, pullovers, and more, that will inspire you. Over 130 photos and plans will guide you to complete 18 projects using simple square and rectangular knitted pieces. Join them together with basic crocheting techniques, and your fashion is complete! The highlight: The holes are so well-matched that a good fit is guaranteed. In addition, you can change or turn the individual pieces of the same size so that a completely different visual effect is achieved. You can even easily undo them from one piece and use them with another. Thus, in a simple and relaxed way you will achieve a refined result.Originally a chemist, Johanna Schwarz's passion for handicraft prompted her to complete textile designer training at the Cultural Academy in Halle, Germany.
