Dimensional Tuck Knitting, developed by Tracy Purtscher, is an ingenious new technique that looks complicated yet is deceptively simple. All a knitter must do is knit a field of stockinette with a few precisely placed knit or purl stitches that act as markers, pick up a stitch here and there and then work those stitches in a simple manner. This takes advantage of the flexibility of the knitted fabric, creating a series of manipulated welts that bend, fold, and double back on themselves for vibrant three-dimensional texture.
With step-by-step instructions and illuminating information on every aspect of the technique, this volume provides a comprehensive understanding that will inspire knitters of all skill levels.
Dimensional Tuck Knitting by Tracy Purtscher contains more than 85 patterns, each with written and charted instructions and the collection of 10 projects - ranging from a mohair shawl to a cosy blanket, from a bulky pullover to elegant fingerless mitts. Give Dimensional Tuck Knitting a try. It's the perfect new technique for all yarn weights, all projects, and every knitter who loves texture.
