Sculptured Knits

The Jean Moss Book of Sculptured Knits presents an elegant array of patterns for hand knitwear from leading designer, Jean Moss. Inspired by the decorative art of the twentieth century: architecture, theater, furniture, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, fashion and posters, these 40 projects will fire the imagination of both beginner and experienced knitter. To celebrate the knitted stitch for the Millennium, Jean Moss has created an original collection of knitwear using a variety of sculptured stitches, ranging from simple knits and purls through creative cables to more intricate lacy arans. The collection draws on the flamboyance of the Belle Epoque, the elegant simplicity of Art Deco, the hard-edged geometry of Op Art and the naive symbolism of Ethnic design. Included are garments for men, women, and children plus items for home decor.
