Boutique Knits: 20+ Must-Have Accessories
One of the most visually appealing knitting books I have seen in a while – filled with super stylish designs (and gorgeous models). The stars of this book are definitely the hats – with beautiful 20’s style cloche hats with sweet ruffles, braiding, argyle lace, felted and fair isle with beads.
There is a definite 20’s flapper style / vintage romantic appeal to the designs throughout the book – with gauntlets, mittens, scarves, vests, wraps and bags (a beautiful little denim pleated purse and an unusual half felted bag with drawstring sides!). Not your everyday knits.

We have this book at my work and it is very popular!
I just wanted to say my Patchwork style book arrived last week – looking fresh as a daisy in its padded pouch – and i havent stopped looking at it – thankyou for sending it to me, i am about to make a floor rug for our kitchen! It will take a while because its large, but i am going to model it on the one out of the book.
