Stylish Knitting Patterns for Sweaters and Cardigans

Easy Sweaters to Knit by Melanie Berg is a collection of 13 garment patterns drawn from her personal exploration of vintage style and considered construction. Each design has been chosen for a specific quality — an unusual construction method, a clever detail, or a yarn that does something unexpected — making this a book for knitters who are ready to push their skills in a purposeful direction.

Every pattern is available in 7 sizes and comes with full charts, illustrations, and clear photography. Highlights from the collection include:

• Alive & Kicking — short-sleeved sweater with a circular yoke, wraparound lace, and a kick-out flair
• Cinnamon Dream — slouchy dolman-style sweater with lace panels on the front and sleeves
• Quiet City — draped poncho with a roll-neck and cable-work detail
• Whisperlike — seamless top-down knit with ribbing at the waist and neckline, and delicate lacework on the shoulders
