From a fair Isle Scarf to Andean socks to a Japanese hat-and-mitten set, the coziest knits from the world over have been gathered in this ultimate comfy collection. Hailing from regions that know a thing or two abut the cold, these projects were created to keep people warm and snug even if they were trekking on an Icelandic glacier or braving the Russian tundra. You'll find them perfectly delightful on a snowy walk anywhere you are. But these stylish projects don't just keep you toasty in winter weather, they also make you look as great as you feel. Each beautifully photographed project comes complete with illustrated patterns, schematics and diagrams, and alternatives for yarns and needle weights and sizes to make sure you get the results you want. The patterns range from simple to more complicated, making this a great book to grow your craft. Book jacket.
