Iris Schreier's Reversible Knits

What a winning combination: celebrated author Iris Schreier, 24 exquisite projects, and dozens of in-demand techniques that result in garments that look great on both sides. Using knit/purl, two-color, double knitting, cable, lace, and modular knitting methods, Iris creates beautiful shrugs, shawls, scarves, throws, hats, socks, and more. Some of the items actually have different looks on the front and back while others simply show the same clean, finished fabric throughout. Iris walks novices through all the essentials, then shares modern adaptations of classic stitches, illuminated by photos of hand-knitted swatches. As a bonus, there’s a super-handy yarn substitution chart and an appendix with extra variations for advanced knitters. Knitters of all skill levels can now achieve true “revers-atility”!

Iris Schreier’s time spent working in the Soho district of New York City exposed her to fresh and hip urban street fashions. She has a passion for designing and uncovering new techniques that simplify established processes. Iris owns a popular yarn company, Art Yarns (artyarns.com), and her work has been published in numerous periodicals, including VOGUE Knitting and Knitter’s Magazine. Iris’s previous books include Lacy Little Knits, Modular Knits, and Exquisite Little Knits (all Lark).
