Introduction
I chose these designs with the emerging
knitter in mind, but I believe they will appeal to
many seasoned knitters as well. The garments
feature a variety of techniques, ranging from
the basic garter or stockinette stitch, as a
foundation for fine yarns and larger needles,
to asymmetrical shaping and uneven hemlines.
Most of the designs I’ve chosen use yarn overs
to create the openwork, often one of the first
techniques new knitters are introduced to.
Yarn overs form the basis for more intricate
lacework and are a great place to start when
you are ready to branch out and learn
new stitches.
The stitch patterns I’ve used in this collection
are simple and easy to memorize. The shaping
is also minimal, making them an easy choice
for beginners.
Drape and comfort are important to me when
choosing projects, so I carefully chose yarns
for these designs with drape in mind. If you
substitute yarns, please do a large enough
swatch to determine the drape.
Openwork is a wonderful way to show off
your knits!
