Explore a new angle on knitting. Emerging designer Mathew Gnagy has created
a fresh collection of 15 sweaters for men and women that explore the
possibilities of knitting off the axis in new angles other than traditional
top-down or bottom-up constructions in Knitting Off the Axis. Each of
the patterns is designed in a one-of-a-kind way, focusing on knitting sideways
or in an untraditional direction. Knitting at different angles gives these knit
projects unique shaping, visual interest, and fashion-forward silhouettes.
You'll love the new techniques and challenge of knitting sideways.
Most sideways knits tend to be simplified, less dynamic versions of more
traditionally constructed patterns, but Mathew has brought you uniquely textured
stitch patterns. The result is knitting projects that are classic, stylish, and
lively. The book is divided into three easy-to-follow sideways knitting
categories: Truly Sideways, Mostly Sideways, and Every-Which-Way with additional
instruction on short rows, internal shaping, and more.
Knitting Off the Axis offers everything you need to incorporated
clever knit combinations and maximize your design possibilities with sideways
knitting.
