Dimensional Tuck Knitting: An Innovative Technique for Creating Surface Design

Dimensional Tuck Knitting: An Innovative Technique for Creating Surface Design

• This ingenious technique uses strategically placed knit and purl stitches to create a series of three-dimensional folds and tucks

<DIV><B>A whole new dimension of texture!</B><BR /> Dimensional tuck knitting, developed by Tracy Purtscher, is an ingenious new technique that looks complicated yet is deceptively simple. All a knitter must do is knit a field of stockinette with a few precisely placed knit or purl stitches that act as markers, pick up a stitch here and there, and then work those stitches in a simple manner. This takes advantage of the flexibility of knitted fabric, creating a series of manipulated welts that bend, fold, and double back on themselves for vibrant three-dimensional texture.<BR />  <BR /> With step-by-step instructions and illuminating information on every aspect of the technique, this volume provides a comprehensive understanding that will inspire knitters of all skill levels. More than 85 patterns, each with written and charted instructions, will dazzle; and the collection of 10 projects—ranging from a mohair shawl to a cozy blanket, from a bulky pullover to elegant fingerless mitts—will stun. So, give <I>Dimensional Tuck Knitting</I> a try. It's the perfect new technique for all yarn weights, all projects, and every knitter who loves texture.<BR />  </DIV>
