Beautiful sweaters and accessories, simple to knit!

There is no more classic sweater than the yoke pullover, which can be worn anywhere and everywhere and always looks stunning. The heathered tones of yarn used in this book bring back the feeling of wearing wool against cold, harsh conditions, though you may be wearing yours while sipping cocoa by the fire. The 14 pullover patterns are all worked top down and in the round, to minimize seaming and keep you in a happy knitting rhythm. New to colorwork? All you need to know to get started is explained in the tutorial section.

If you are new to stranded knitting, or just desire a quicker project, the 11 hat, scarf, sock, and other accessory patterns bring you the same rustic feel in smaller knits. Perfect for using up leftover sweater yarn to make coordinating accessories, these pieces will keep you warm and cozy in beautiful, soft colors.
