Vivian H xbro, the knitting expert behind Traditional Danish Sweaters, is back with a brand-new collection of basic pattern figures--but don't let their simplicity fool you! Stripes, squares, triangles, angles, stairs, chevrons, circles, and shells are some of H xbro's favorite foundational design elements, undeniably classic and endlessly flexible; these elementary shapes, reimagined and dynamically combined, form sixteen delightful projects, for knitting that's fun, playful, and undeniably clever.

• Patterns for blouses, vests, shawls, scarves, pillow covers, and more
• Step-by-step instructions for each fundamental shape, with accompanying full-color photographs
• An inspirational toolset you can use to create new design combinations of your own
