Boutique Knits: 20+ Must-Have Accessories by Laura Irwin. Interweave Press (November 1, 2008).

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.
