A gorgeous color or texture pattern beckons to a designer to try it out in different ways. Should it be used for a hat, a sweater, a cape? In this book, designer Toby Roxane Barna allowed her imagination to explore the variations and came up with pairs of designs—a sweater and a shawl—sharing at least one similar design element. For example, a lace pattern from a shawl may be used to form the yoke of a sweater or a button band and hem on a cardigan. An expert in using color to maximize the “wow” factor, Toby has outdone herself with this exquisite pattern collection.

Express your colorful side! The patterns in Geometric Knit Blankets are inspired by quilts, tiles, and other color block designs. Every blanket is a stunning feast for the eyes, and all are for the intermediate knitter or confident beginner. Knit them as shown or choose colors you love best or that work with your decor. The construction of each blanket is fully and beautifully illustrated, and the techniques used to make each item are clearly listed so you know what is involved. Many blankets offer two methods of construction, so you can choose to knit with techniques you favor. The blankets feature an abundance of different geometric shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles, diamonds, hexagons, circles. The individual blocks for a given blanket can also be rearranged to make additional designs. These blankets are so much fun you will want to make them all!
