Scandi knit design is simple, pared-down and timeless, the patterns in the book making sure even beginners will succeed! Urban Knit Easy – Effortless & Modern Knits reflects the Nordic lifestyle to a tee. Style doesn’t mean complicating things or technical gimmicks – it is classic and effortless. The easy-going, urban, casual knits are designed to be so simple that anyone wishing to chill out and wear something self-made dares grab those needles.

The book will show you how to knit your very first item of clothing – a hat, socks, sweater and cardigan – before moving on to more challenging designs as you get better at this. The instructions are designed for beginners to be able to follow the simplest techniques. If you’re an expert, add some pro-level finishing touches. Whatever your skill, the finessed details mean you’ll achieve some stunning results.

The book has a modern take on knitting: all the sweaters and cardigans are worked seamlessly top down, socks toe up. You’ll find lots of clever tips for choosing materials and making adjustments for adding your personal touch. The book also includes plenty of photo tutorials.
