Books like Couture Knits by Jean Moss

This book presents 82 authentic folk patterns for Guernsey and Jersey sweaters, offering detailed instructions and traditional stitch patterns for both lighter weight Jerseys and heavier Guernseys.

Gail Downey (half of the popular London label Weardowney) and Henry Conway present the philosophy and innovative designs that make up this vintage-inspired, fashion-forward design label. Vogue has said about their designs that they are like "old friends already" and *Knit Couture* offers twenty pattern based on their acclaimed designs plus an in-depth view of the world of fashion knitwear. One of Weardowney's goals is to teach and inspire by offering modern-day knitters a window into the wider world of knitting -- including the history of hand-knitting, the evolution of the medium, and an exploration of the craft within fashion and popular culture today. In addition, twenty designs, which remain true to the design philosophy of Weardowney, are featured in full-color photography with easy-to-follow instructions. From smart tunic dresses and tops to elegant cardigans and vintage-inspired skirts and sweaters, the designs are stylish, modern, and awe-inspiring and can be adapted to make them truly one-of-a-kind, just like couture. Boasting a comprehensive history, photography from past and present, stunning illustrations and twenty exclusive designs, this is an imaginative and informative book that surely will inspire contemporary knitters and fashion lovers alike.

"Since 1902, when Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear cub, teddy bears have achieved phenomenal popularity. They have been called the world's most popular soft toy, and bears of every shape have appeared in an amazing range of literary, cinematic, ceramic and other forms. Well-known knitwear designer Melinda Coss has created nineteen irresistible patterns for a wide variety of hand-knit items incorporating the bear motif. Designs include sweaters and dresses for adults, children's clothes, a baby's sleeping-bag and booties, leg-warmers and mittens. Two of the garments feature celebrated fictional characters Rupert Bear and Paddington Bear, while others are adorned with their humbler cousins. You will also find instructions for knitting bears and making bear toys. Each project is illustrated in full color and, where appropriate, features a full-color chart of the bear to be incorporated into the design. To supplement the clear knitting instructions, an introductory section explains some of the techniques that are needed to complete the patterns. Filled with patterns and ideas, *Wooly Bear Knits* will delight bear lovers of all ages."
