Knitted trims are the perfect finishing touch for jumpers and accessories, or may be used to revitalise old favourites and embellish plain shop-bought items. Find out how quickly and easily you can customise everything, from scarves, sweaters and baby clothes to cushions, hats and bags, with this collection of 150 exquisite knitted designs. This fantastic resource is organised by type of trim - from delicate lacy edgings and beaded braids to fabulous fringes, openwork insertions and a range of pretty motifs like flowers, hearts and butterflies. It features beautiful full-colour photographs and all the designs are shown full-scale and cross-referenced to the instructions. Graded according to skill level, with complete step-by-step directions and technical information on the yarns, beads and sequins used, it includes five simple and stylish projects that show delightful ways to use the trims, from decorative ruffles on a baby garment to herbal stuffed cushions and cosy winter accessories.
