In the Author's Words.....
"When we looked again at the Bowknot Sweater photographs, we wondered how we could have been so inattentive…a close look at the reverse side of the fabric (where it shows inside the neck shaping) told us the whole story. The entire garment is worked with two colors carrried at all times - even throught the 'plain', unpatterned sections."(pg 4)

From the publisher..... "For many years, we assumed that Elsa Schiaparelli's famous Bowknot sweater had been knitted by Intarsia. Not so.

Armenian Knitting was used; the motif color is carried throughout the plain part of the garment (trapped across the back) until it is needed. A large and exciting window of design possibilities opened for us when we became aware of this technique.

You wlll find Joyce's Knit/Purl pullover, Olive Branch, and Lily Jacket. Plus, from Meg, two versions of a Monarch pullover and three vests: Butterfly, Cossack and Flower. We get you started with three hats for practice.

You will also find some innovative garment shaping; all techniques described fully including three choices of how to trap."
