Knits to Wear: Effortless Patterns by Kutova Kika

An adaptation from a Finnish publishing house, this book shares 17 patterns for timeless, wearable pieces to knit—inspired by Scandinavian culture. Some of the pieces remain classics, while others are stylish and fun adaptations and others explore working with texture and traditional colorwork to be found in Scandinavian styles. While not exactly for beginners, this book shares tips that will help the reader improve their skills and even save time, along with suggestions for styling and creating a piece that works with one’s wardrobe. The breakdown of the patters includes 7 sweaters, 2 cardigans, 3 distinct tops, 3 hats, 1 collar, and 1 vest. For each of these, there are adaptations to the instructions for creating around 10 different sizes; the sweaters and other tops will fit people with around a 54-60" / 137-152 cm chest.
