Overview

Delightfully quirky, this knitting guide opens up endless creative possibilities on a garden theme. Hundreds of projects large and small include traditional furnishing such as bedspreads, pillows, and wall hangings, and knitters are invited to explore and experiment with the patterns. What truly sets the book apart, however, are the instructions for three-dimensional tabletop gardens that astound with their detail and inventiveness: a Victorian kitchen garden, a friary garden, and an entire row of cottage gardens complete with wildlife, flowers, shrubs, and trees.
