DOWNLOAD EBOOKAuthentic ancient motifs - from natural animals to mythological and imperial figures - are the basis for the charted designs in Enchanted Knitting. Here you'll find patterns based on the ancient Romanian beast-man Silvanus, figures in the Paleolithic caves of Europe, and tattoos from the famous Pazyryk woman of central Asia. China, Mexico, Nigeria, and Native American cultures are among the many other sources for these diverse motifs. Included are more than 200 charts, graphed at the correct proportions for knitted stitches, and annotated with discussions of the original motifs and their historical context. Look to the garment examples for ideas on how to combine motifs; look to the step-by-step knitting instructions for an imaginative African cap, Victorian-style drawstring bag, machine-knit knee socks, and calf-length hooded cloak.
