This timeless collection of knitwear designs from Danish designer Marianne Isager is a stitch-
technique guide and a gallery of design inspiration in one book. Classic Knits features 25 traditional,
appealing projects worked in basic knit and purl stitch patterns, each with a distinctive design
element typical of Marianne’s style, be it an interesting combination of yarns, a clever use of stitch
pattern, or an unusual form of construction.
Choose the knitting technique you’d like to learn—entrelac, color stranding, double knitting,
slip stitch, herringbone, and more—and apply them to your design by first practicing with a gauge Knitting out of Africa
page 23
swatch. When the swatch is knitted to the correct gauge and the same size as shown in the book,
the garment will match the measurements listed in the pattern.
Many of the garments in this book are based on simple knit-purl pattern stitches. None require
extensive knitting experience. You only need to know how to cast on, knit, and bind off to
successfully complete any project in this book. All other information is provided in sidebars and the
Glossary. Many knitters have trouble with the finishing process. For that reason, the garments have
been designed to require as little finishing as possible. Several of the garments are worked from the
top down, so it’s easy to add or remove rows to customize the lengths.

The story behind Weldon’s

In the late 1800s, a company in England called Weldon’s offered monthly
newsletters that featured needlework patterns and instructions for projects. Later,
the company inaugurated a series of books titled Weldon’s Practical Needlework,
each volume consisting of 12 issues of newsletters bound with a cloth cover. Every
book is filled with hundreds of vintage projects, illustrations, information on little-
known techniques, fashion as it was at the turn of the twentieth century, and brief
histories of needlework. The books open a window to another time and place.
Perfect for collecting!
