This is a collection of simple, inspired ideas to set your imagination racing. Knitwear can be curvy, cozy, decorated, textured, classic, clinging, see-through, or sophisticated. It can flatter your best features and gloss over the areas you want to hide. It can signal your individuality, whether you want to dress up or dress down. Best of all, hand knitting gives you the opportunity to create unique, luxurious clothes.

Here you’ll find everything you need for that special occasion. From simple accessories to stunning sweaters and jackets, there are 25 up-to-the-minute stylish fashion items all of which can be made using the basic knitting skills outlined in the clear and concise Getting Started section (see here), which includes extra explanation to help with any less familiar techniques.

There are three style sections to explore. All include designs for extra special evenings and for those daytime occasions when you want something a little dressier—from sexy shapes and daring body-conscious garments to fashion knits in fancy yarns; from subtle beaded decoration to all-over sequins—there’s something for every type of party.

Choose the style that enhances your look and make it in the color that suits you. Mix your makes with basic black or fabulous fabrics, pile on the jewelery, or leave them plain. And when you’ve invested the time and care in making these knits, you’ll find that they are fashion classics that will last many years, precious possessions that you wear over and over again.
