Dear Knitter,

Classic Knits: Marianne Isager Collection
 
This timeless collection of knitwear designs from Danish designer Marianne
Isager is a stitch technique guide and a gallery of design inspiration in
one book. Classic Knits features 25 traditional, appealing projects worked
in basic knit and purl stitch patterns, each with a distinctive design
element typical of Marianne’s style, be it an interesting combination of
yarns, a clever use of stitch pattern, or an unusual form of construction.
 
Choose the knitting technique you’d like to learn—entrelac, color stranding,
double knitting, slip stitch, herringbone, and more—and apply them to your
design by first practicing with a gauge swatch. When the swatch is knitted
to the correct gauge and the same size as shown in the book, the garment
will match the measurements listed in the pattern. 
 
Many of the garments in this book are based on simple knit-purl pattern
stitches. None require extensive knitting experience. You only need to know
how to cast on, knit, and bind off to successfully complete any project in
this book. All other information is provided in sidebars and the Glossary.
Many knitters have trouble with the finishing process. For that reason, the
garments have been designed to require as little finishing as possible.
Several of the garments are worked from the top down, so it's easy to add or
remove rows to customize the lengths. 
 
Classic Knits will appeal to beginning to advanced knitters looking for
innovative knitwear designs that include a variety of knitting techniques.
