520 8  From a little-known chapter of knitting history comes the 
       Danish 'night sweater'--part of women's traditional dress 
       in the 1800s, these sweaters have long been overlooked in 
       surveys of Scandinavian handcrafting and design. But now 
       celebrated Danish knitting expert Vivian Høxbro has 
       brought together diligent research, comprehensive charts, 
       and her own painstaking efforts to reconstruct these 
       carefully-preserved garments to create a unique collection
       of single-color relief patterns. Within, knitted, purled, 
       and crossed stitches form hundreds of classic star motifs,
       edgings, horizontal and vertical pattern panels, and 
       striking 'traveling stitch' designs. Learn the history of 
       night sweaters in Denmark, with a rundown of special 
       techniques and regional knitting practices, and then dive 
       into a neatly-organized library of 200 charts for motifs 
       of all kinds. Follow step-by-step instructions as you 
       reconstruct traditional Danish sweaters in contemporary 
       sizes, work traditionally-inspired patterns for a stole, 
       top, tunic, and more--or use these motifs, edgings, and 
       decorative panels in projects of your own design" 
520 8  Vivian Hoxbro showcases Danish heritage from a proud 
       chapter of knitting history. The 200 star motif patterns 
       in the book have their origin in carefully preserved 
       sweaters that were part of women's traditional dress in 
       the 1800s. These "night sweaters," as they were called, 
       are a treasure chest of knitted damask patterns: beautiful,
       single-color relief designs in knit, purl, and crossed 
       stitches, with stars as a particularly charming motif. The
       book includes 200 charted patterns to incorporate into 
       your knitting; a history of "night sweaters" illustrated 
       with little vignettes; illustrations of special knitting 
       techniques; instructions for modern sweaters as well as 
       shawls, a top, and a tunic; instructions for traditional 
       sweaters worked in today's measurements and colors. See, 
       enjoy, and discover the wealth of traditional Danish 
       pattern designs, and be inspired to knit your own 
       beautiful classically-patterned sweaters
