Book Review: Inspired Shawls 15 Creative Patterns for Year-Round Knitting by Laura Zukaite






Inspired Shawls 15 Creative Patterns for Year-Round Knitting by Laura Zukaite
#InspiredShawls #NetGalley
Starts with a contents page showing each of the designs, names and small scaled images and the pages they are on.
Each pattern starts with a title, finished measurements, materials needed and guage.
Special abbreviations and stitches are explained in detail. Special patterns are also explained in easy word instructions.
Diagram of the finished item is shown along with size in US/Metric dimentsions.
Charted pattterns are in color and easy to follow with key included.
Lot of variety is just the shapes, something for everyone.
One thing I did not see what a level of expertise needed as some of these are going to take a bit of time to make.
List of abbrevaitiosn are included at the end along with how to make them.
Needle conversions are also included.
A section on the author is highlighted at the end.
High end photos of the designs and the contrast is good to see the patterns.
Also did not see an introduction nor list of places to get the yarns.
Received this review copy from Dover Publications via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.
