Lace for every day!

Knitted lace pieces are stunning, but that is no reason to save them for only special occasions. The 25 lace patterns in this book are designed to showcase your stitches in pieces that can be worn anywhere. They incorporate Japanese lace stitch patterns to beautiful effects in pullovers, socks, shawls, hats, mitts, and more, in infinitely wearable patterns. Knit in neutrals, these pieces are easy to pair with items in your closet; knit in fabulous colors, they are showstoppers!

A little unsure of your lace-knitting skills? Have no fear! In addition to the patterns, the book includes an illustrated introduction to lace knitting stitches and charts, and an introduction to sock knitting. The skill level of each pattern is designated, so you can start with a pattern within your comfort zone and build your skills as you go.

Get ready to fill your wardrobe with a selection of gorgeous lace knits!

About the Author

Birgit Freyer was born in 1962 and thus still belongs to the generation where girls got their "proper" handicraft lessons. She later studied design and worked as a freelance web designer and lecturer active in adult education. After years of letting her knitting skills lag, she started knitting again 20 years ago. She always worked out her own designs, and when asked about them by friends and others, she began to write out the instructions. For 15 years now, she has made her patterns available at www.die-wolllust.de.
