Simple Knits for Easy Living

Highly textural and elegantly designed, knitted textiles are modern, adaptable and extremely comfortable. In this inspirational yet practical book, Erika Knight shows how to create exquisitely beautiful designs for the home. The elegant, understated sophistication of Erika’s designs is matched by the restrained colour palette of the yarns: natural shades of ecru, graphite, indigo, heather and moss.

Starting with an introduction to basic knitting techniques, and using only natural yarns, bamboo needles, and easiest stitches, Simple Knits for East Living demonstrates photographically every element, from casting on to increasing and decreasing.

Using the simplest techniques, Erika has created a range of practical yet extremely attractive quick-to-knit textiles for the home, including cushions, throws, tugs, runners, bags, and wraps. Many of the patterns are based on a plain square. All of them could be completed in a weekend, if not in an evening.
