Book 32 A Touch Of Class

A Touch of Class

Classics with style and an Art Deco twist!

A classic, square neck jumper with set in sleeves, warm to wear, a modern Art Deco design using the soft colours from the Forsell Shamal range of Acrylic/wool mix yarn.

Based on a crocus and trellis theme, the colour changes give a warm, autumn look, but a lighter look is easily obtained by only using the two main colours.

Sizes 34"-42", 24 stitch pattern repeat

Square Neck Jumper with Set In Sleeves from Book 32
Modern Art Deco Inspired Sweater from Book 32 Inspired once more by Art Deco, this modern design will always be fashionable. To obtain a good photograph the colours have been lightened, but in its original purple and black the effect is very elegant. The Fair Isle construction gives a very warm finish - no need for a coat!

Quick to knit in good quality 100% Acrylic (we used Denys Brunton's 4 ply Acrylic), this sweater has a classic round neck and inset square armholes.

Sizes 34"-44", 24 stitch pattern repeat

The classic cardigan, knitted in Forsell Shamal Acrylic/wool mix, has a flattering V neckline and semi-set in sleeves; the traditional cuffs ensure warmth when the cardigan is worn as a jacket.

Picking up on the Art Deco theme, the cardigan's surface design continues the crocus and trellis theme, and the cardigan is designed to match the square neck jumper shown above.

For more versatility, however, try using only the two main colours or knitting the cardigan in stocking stitch only - either one solid colour, or stripes of colour to match another garment. 

Three multi-sizes 34"-44",    24 stitch pattern repeat

Longline Cardigan with Semi Set In Sleeves from Book 32
Longline Sweater with Set In Sleeves and Pockets from Book 32 Classic styling with a geometric single motif for an eye-catching sweater.

Styled with a slightly wider, narrow banded neckline, set in sleeves (correctly positioned at the shoulder) and pockets with hidden pocket bags, the single motif accentuates the longer length design.

Knitted in good quality 4 ply 100% Acrylic (we used Trumatch 100% Acrylic), this garment is easy to wear.

3 multisizes 34"-44", Good Quality 4 ply 100% Acrylic, 32 stitch pattern repeat with alternative 24 stitch pattern for punchcard machines

Voted a favourite by machine knitters!

It seems that there's nothing better than a well designed classic - this cardigan/jacket is a classic, round neck style given a new, modern twist by adding a four ply glitter yarn which is used for the unusual geometric border and for the elegant trim on the button bands.

Knitted in good quality 100% Acrylic (we used Trumatch 10% Acrylic), this garment is easy to wear.

3 multisizes 34"-44", 24 stitch pattern repeat

Classic Jacket from Book 32
These stitch designs are available on disk FS1 for either Brother disk drive or DesignaKnit
