Originally a follow-up to the outstandingly successful "Blankets and Throws", the newly-reformatted "More Blankets and Throws" has over 100 different blanket squares that can be knitted up to create a dozen unique blankets or throws in a variety of styles. Projects range from baby's first comfort blanket in bright blocks, to subtle motifs embellished with beads and buttons for the style-conscious teenager. Full instructions are given for each square, including expert advice on how to knit with several colours and how to bead with confidence.Follow the patterns given or have fun experimenting by choosing from the rich assortment of squares. Clear, step-by-step instructions show you how to piece the squares together to create your own unique afghan. The designs combine a range of knitting techniques, from intarsia through to textured stitches, with some knitted in clean, matt cottons, and others in soft, hairy winter yarns. Whatever your experience, be inspired by beautiful projects from beginner's basics to advanced challenges.Other titles in this series include "Blankets and Throws to Knit" (9781843404712), "25 Cushions to Knit" (9781843405092) and "Zoe Mellor's 50 Baby Bootees to Knit" (9781843405078).
