By studying the knitting techniques and sweater construction of the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and The Andes, author Donna Druchunas has developed a system for knitting sweaters that doesn’t rely on patterns or written instructions. The countries covered in the book share common characteristics such as knitting in the round, stitch patterns passed down through the generations and knitting techniques unique to that particular region. Druchunas has discovered that knitting without patterns, and using the time tested ethnic techniques, is often easier than following line by line instructions. Using the skills learned in this book, you’ll be able to design and knit beautiful, one-of-a-kind sweaters that fit perfectly. 12 projects—176 pages  | Softcover Retail: $21.95 Item No. 31020
