Toby Roxane Barna Libri

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.

"Gorgeous yarns abound for the knitter, but sometimes the color variations can make it difficult to find patterns that allow the yarn to shine. With this in mind, Toby Roxane Barna designed all of the pieces in this book--hats, shawls, mittens, sweaters, and more--to let the yarn be the main feature"--
