Skinny yarns get a really bad rap…somehow knitters tend to believe they are slow or old-fashioned. We're here to prove otherwise with projects that you can finish quickly for a satisfying sense of accomplishment. Projects knit with thin yarns can be quick, easy, daring or bold--though it's certainly true that they can be elaborate, refined or demure. Learn the true definition of what a fine yarn really is, then explore the variety of patterns grouped into four sections. Simplicity includes patterns for more novice knitters to get accustomed to working with thin needles and skinny yarns. Speed offers projects that debunk the myth of slow knitting; learn also about double-stranding or knitting at looser gauges. Style showcases some of the contemporary and fashionable ways to use fine yarns. And lastly, Shine contains boundary-busting possibilities and more advanced projects including lace, traveling stitches and cables. Preview a few designs. Put down those chunky yarns and fat needles and discover the creative possibilities of thin yarns. Think thin yarns are slow and boring to knit with? Think again! This information-packed book features more than twenty stylish and contemporary projects knit with lightweight yarns. Thin is in! Lightweight yarns have a bad reputation: slow to knit with, unfashionable, limited to socks and lace, and fussy to deal with. Give those skinny yarns another look! Projects knit with thin yarns can range from quick, easy, and daring to bold, elaborate, refined, and sophisticated. Perfect for all skill levels, the projects in Knit So Fine show that garments knitted with thin yarns fit more precisely, are more flattering to the figure, feel better against the skin, are great for layering, and offer more versatility for fashion elements like ruching, ruffles, gauzy layers, and drape.

Knitters will also find stylish and contemporary patterns, including a drapy silk top, a supple zippered cable hoodie, a bamboo skirt with stunning drape, a bohus-inspired pullover, a wrap dress, a ruffled scarf, and much more!
