The 337 charted figures in this book are like nothing you've ever seen before. Charts include dogs, cats, horses, African animals, barnyard critters, world mythology and symbolism, trees, flowers, and much more. Graphed in the correct ready-to-use proportions for knitted stitches, each chart includes instructions for placement and design combinations, suggestions for embellishments, and sculptural knitting techniques.

There are some hints and tips in this book, particularly for machine knitting, but this is essentially a book of charts. There are 5 sections of patterns in the book. "Past times and distant cultures" includes African designs, dragons from both Asian and European traditions, and other mythological designs from a variety of cultures. "In the wild" has realistic animal patterns as well as more mythological creatures. "Not so wild" is a collection of domestic plants and animals with a few buildings and boats tucked in. "The heavens" has sun, moon, and star designs, plus a neat set of angel wings. "At home" has a hodge-podge including flowers, Christmas designs, a map of Africa, a hedgehog, and some musical instruments.

The charts are clear and there are variety of designs

Great for crocheters too! The two-color charts are perfect for filet crochet.

Another customer tells me she uses the book's charts for loomed bead work.

The charts are original and different, look through the accompanying pictures and you will definitely want this book!

(I should mention, I have a hard time keeping this book in stock as it is out of print!)
