If you've ever knitted, you know the satisfaction that comes with creating both pattern and shape at the same time. Ethnic knitting is one way to expand your design repertoire while touching on the past, and each of these 42 brightly colored patterns is based on the rich knitting tradition of Russia's Komi people. At first glance they may seem complex, but look again and you'll see the clever, sophisticated use of simple symmetry to build these bold geometric patterns. Included are complete instructions and charts for 36 mittens, two socks, and two hats. 8 1/2 X 10. All in Color
