Field Notes: 20 Textured Knits for Everyday Beauty is an inspirational collection exploring various techniques and stitch patterns. Fall in love with Olga Putano’s cozy designs: richly cabled sweaters, creativity-sparking colorwork and comforting garter-stitch knits — all with a fresh take. The collection features garments and accessories from sweaters, vests and short-sleeved tops to shawls and socks and more.
This book is a collection of Olga’s favorite knitting techniques and projects. Here you will find colorwork, slip stitch, cables, stockinette, tuck stitch and ribbed stitch patterns, with a little garter stitch and lace for good measure.
Colorwork sparks creativity, letting you paint with yarn like an artist with a brush. Cables weave rich textures, crafting cozy sweaters to ward off the Northeast’s bitter winters.
Sweaters, swonchos, short sleeved tops, vests, hats, shawls, socks, mittens and a cardigan — if you’re a knitter, there is a project here you will enjoy.
Olga is a Ukrainian knitwear designer based in rural Pennsylvania, USA. This is her second knitting book.
