Terry Taylor

These stylish, contemporary patterns come from a variety of artists, and they are far from those musty designs Grandma used to make. Most use familiar and easy-to-learn stitches, so you can easily make them yourself with the help of the well-illustrated basics section. All the classic garments -- including a cloche, fringed poncho, Chanel-inspired jacket, and itsy-bitsy bikini -- are created with both traditional and specialty yarns, and they feature a range of fashionable embellishments like textured bobble stitches, corkscrew fringe and delicate edgings.
