Big Yarn, Beautiful Lace Knits - Barbara Benson

20 Shawls, Hats, Ponchos, and More in Bulky Yarn

Lace gets a whole new look!

Lace has traditionally been knit in fine-weight yarns to create airy, delicate designs. But when knit in bulky yarns, lace becomes bold, graphic, and dramatic. For those new to bulky yarns, Barbara Benson shows you how these yarns work best in lace designs and provides tips and tricks for reading and executing lace patterns.

Gorgeous pictures by well-known knitting photographer Gale Zucker show the knitwear to full, stunning effect. All of these pieces will knit up fast, so get those big needles and chunky yarns ready to roll!
