Knitting isn’t just restricted to the human scale and
Mini Knits for the 1/12 Scale Dolls' House
shows just how intricate the craft can get. Linda Spratley combines her
passion for knitting and needlework with all things miniature to
produce four categories full of the tiniest garments you could ever
imagine. Clear instructions take you through the introductory stages of
the book, leaving you thoroughly clued up by the time you reach the
patterns and these, grouped as Baby Knits, Children’s Knits. Adult
knits and home furnishings, are an impressive portfolio of Spratley’s
designs and an inspirational source to anyone wishing to give miniature
needles a try.
Among the ideas on offer are fancy panel cardigans, yoked coats, angel
tops and dungarees, plus mobcaps, shawls and other accessories. There’s
also a wide range of options for ladies’ and gentlemen’s wardrobes, not
to mention a cradle set, table clothes and coverlets. Striking colour
photography and a diverse mix of projects throughout bring the book to
life, proving that small is definitely beautiful. |
