Light and Layered Knits

Book excerpt: Create fluid, fashionable garments you'll wear over and over again! Best-selling author Vicki Square returns, this time creating beautiful garments made from comfortable fibers and light yarns. These are more than simply projects to make-they are truly knits to live in. The 19 patterns of Light & Layered Knits work in all climates, can be layered and removed at will, and are equally at home in a casual or workplace setting. Working with lightweight yarns in fibers such as silk, linen, cotton, and bamboo, Vicki creates pieces that will appeal to knitters of all ages. These versatile wardrobe staples-shells, fluid tops, draped tunics, light cardigans, wrap sweaters, and more-reflect the way that women dress today. What's more, most of them are conveniently sized for up to a "46" to "48" bust circumference.
