In Knit Kimono Too, best-selling author and knitwear designer Vicki Square returns to the simple, flat-
tering shapes that made her work a hit with knitters. In more than 20 brand-new designs, Vicki collects
kimonos and Asian-inspired designs and blends traditional inspiration with clothes that contemporary
knitters can’t resist. She focuses on lighter weight knits for layering, plus unique stitch patterns, color-
work, and openwork designs. Beginning with an overview of design concepts and guidance for working
with color, Knit Kimono Too offers garments that feature innovative shaping, interesting closures and
edgings, and clever techniques. In addition to her signature kimono shape, the book includes Asian-
inspired tops, tunics, and vests; each with details that flatter all body types.
To teach knitters the details and finishes, Knit Kimono Too includes clear photography and step-by-
Knit Kimono
step instructions. On the included instructional DVD, Vicki demonstrates the special techniques and page 31
stitches that make her kimono-style garments so wearably elegant, including two-color slip stitch, sur-
face embroidery, two-hand stranded knitting, garter-stitch short-rows, making bobbles in a contrasting
color, attaching knitted cord, making origami folds, double knitting, and more. Projects include vests,
coats, lightweight shells, short-sleeve tops, and a wide assortment of jackets featuring various weights
of yarn. Knit Kimono Too features deceptively simple patterns that transform fabric with minimal shaping
into stylish, polished-looking garments.
Vicki Square is the author of Knit Kimono, Folk Bags, Folk Hats, and the best-selling The
Knitter’s Companion. Vicki has taught knitting for more than ten years, as well as paint-
ing and drawing at Colorado State University. She lives in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Wrapped in Lace highlights a significant part of Stove’s personal knitting journey: working with the
legendary “wedding ring shawl,” a large knitted lace shawl so fine and delicate that it can be drawn
through a wedding ring.
Framed by an engaging narrative of learning to create knitted lace from scratch, Wrapped in Lace Knitted Lace of Estonia
describes each set of lace techniques, patterns, and traditions in depth, then gives an original pat- page 32
tern for a lace shawl, stole, or scarf. The twelve original projects are characteristic of knitted lace
from the Faroe Islands, Shetland Islands, Orenburg, Estonia, and lace motifs of New Zealand, as well
as more contemporary European work. An expert on lace repair and conservation, Stove also teaches
how to preserve, restore, or even remake knitted lace heirlooms.
Margaret Stove is a leading expert of handknitted superfine lace. Examples of her work
are found in many galleries and private collections throughout the world. A passion
for knitting and later designing lace led Stove to explore techniques for spinning lace
yarns. She teaches lace knitting and spinning for lace internationally, and her line of
New Zealand Merino lace yarn and patterns is distributed in the United States and Traditional Knitted
throughout the world. Lace Shawls

also include variations using a different yarn, edging, or embellishment to demonstrate the range of
looks possible. Louisa’s approach highlights the boutique feel of each design, encouraging knitters
