Based in the United States, Ukrainian designer Putano gives knitters 12 sweater patterns to make. Known for beautiful, complex, colorful patterns, Putano has designed an eye-catching combination of top-down cabled and colorwork sweaters for this collection. The patterns are divided into three categories: “Warm & Cozy,” “Simply Versatile,” and “Light Layering.” Each is designed to use a different weight of yarn, from heavy aran or worsted to the lighter fingering yarns. Guidance for choosing colors and yarn for each pattern is provided, along with full-color photos of each yoke. Each section includes variations for each yoke design. There are detailed, in-depth instructions for reading charts as well, which makes this book accessible to adventurous and newer knitters. All sweater patterns are inclusively sized.
VERDICT Perfect for both beginner and experienced colorwork knitters. Recommended for all public library craft collections.
