Synopsis

Some styles never go out of fashion because their elegance and simplicity have a timeless quality that endures as other fashions come and go. This new collection epitomizes intangible yet chic, classic style of the town-and-country sensibility. Stunning, easy-to-knit sweaters, jackets, twin sets, capes and boleros are inspired by the garments of classic designers and are brought up-to-date with contemporary yarns.

About this title

Book Description:

The 24 projects in this book present a beautiful collection of chic styles ranging from a black turtleneck sweater, which can be paired with cropped pants for a classic, yet mod look, to an oversized sweater with a cowl-neck hood for the pulled- together, yet relaxed look. The unique collection also includes a glamorous lacy shawl; a short-sleeved, open-collar sweater; a sleeveless knee-length dress; a Chanel-inspired, collarless jacket with pocket embellishments; and a delicate, silvery cape for enchanting evenings out. Using a broad assortment of yarns, the signature classics are knit in sophisticated colors that complement any outfit whether formal or casual.
