Adding motifs to your knitting projects is the perfect way to personalise them, and this book features 100 of the most colourful and attractive motifs. If you're new to knitting, they're a great way to try out different techniques, and as they only use small amounts of yarn, motifs are perfect stash-busters. With photographs of every swatch, there are clear patterns and detailed charts throughout. A handy techniques section gives clear instructions for all stitches used, so even a complete novice can make some motifs. The perfect resource for beginners, this is also an inspirational reference guide for more experienced knitters.
