150 Knitted Trims Designs for Beautiful Decorative Edgings

"150 Knitted Trims" offers a beautiful and diverse collection of contemporary and classic trims. Each trim is displayed in a swatch with complete row-by-row instructions, plus information on the dimensions of the finished trim and the amount of yarn required per length. Select from colorful zigzags and chevrons; twisted cords and bobble fringes; woven ribbon-effect braids; textured leaves, flowers, fruit and more. And there are ideas galore for using the trims on items such as baby blankets, bags, and throws, plus inspirational suggestions for color and embellishments. Suitable for both beginners and avid enthusiasts, "150 Knitted Trims" is organized in two main sections for ease of use: first, a directory of the trims shown actual size (so they can be "tested" on your designs). And second, easy-to-follow complete pattern instructions for each trim. Each design is graded according to skill level. An additional section includes a refresher course of stitches and techniques used for guaranteed success.
