Rustic, organic, urban, natural - a collection of unique knitted accessories. Enjoy a clean, sophisticated take on knitting with Rustic Modern Knits. Yumiko Alexander's collection of 23 knitted accessories takes its inspiration from the natural world.|This collection of 23 knitted accessories ? wraps, scarves, hats, mit's ? echoes the beautiful Rustic Modern Crochet, which Yumiko published with us in 2014. Yumiko is inspired by the natural world ? verdant leaves, flowers, sand, shells, waves; the colours of sunset and stone. Her constantly innovative but simple-to-implement construction makes designs versatile; a shawl can become a shrug or vest; a slouch hat can double as a Cozy cowl. Stitch patterns have central focus here, as the silhouettes or shapes are kept simple to emphasize the knitted fabric.
Yumiko's designs are fashion-forward but never trendy they exist in a sphere all their own. Despite or perhaps because of their organic and rustic feel, they are very much as home in an urban setting, and should appeal to knitters looking for sophisticated and unique projects to wear.|Rustic, organic, urban, natural - a collection of unique knitted accessories.
