Lovely Knitted Lace - Brooke Nico

A Geometric Approach to Gorgeous Wearables

4 Basic Shapes, 16 Stunning Projects

Lace knitting gets a makeover in “Lovely Knitted Lace”! Author Brooke Nico offers up 16 garments and accessories based on four basic shapes: triangles, circles, squares, and rectangles. Start with these simple shapes, then create a light-as-air Angel Shawl knit from the center out; a luxuriously soft Japanese Leaf Scarf that looks pretty on both sides of the fabric thanks to stockinette and twisted rib stitches; a pretty Aster Shirt with great drape and flow; and an ethereal Flutter Shawl featuring an Estonian variation of a leaf motif. Brooke also shares her thoughts on yarn, gauge, charts, techniques, and fixing mistakes in lace knitting, and includes six additional motifs for you to play with and explore.

Create these beautiful knitted lace projects:

• Triangle Tulip Shawl, perfect for beginners

• Starry Nights Bolero, cleverly constructed from two rectangles

• Orange Crush Beret, knit in concentric circles

• And many more, plus two bonus projects!
