Pure knits

Knitters who love the color white will find 25 all-white patterns in this collection, designed for those with intermediate to advanced skills. The pieces use premium yarns and range from women's sweaters and delicate children's clothing to sturdy menswear. Because the color is plain, the stitch work stands out, including mixed knit and purl panels, openwork lace, and intricate cables.

Among the designs is a sleeveless tunic made from silk and mohair, a cabled sweater for men, and a matching hat and bootie set for infants. The baby set is made from soft fibers suited to sensitive skin and is refined enough to suit a gift for a baby shower.

The patterns are shown in outdoor locations and laid out in a clean, modern style, making this a handsome choice for any knitter's bookshelf.
