Review on 🧶 Exploring Form, Function, and Detail: 20 Knitting Patterns Showcasing Architectural Inspiration by Kelly Caballes

KNITTING ARCHITECTURE is an architecture inspired pattern book and not (as I had hoped) a technical book on "architecture" (construction) knitwear. However, the designs are beautiful and comfortable, and some of them are technically innovative. The Pompidou Bracelet (by Grace Anna Farrow) is a black rectangle with colorful zigzag lines that wrap around the wearer. The lines are far enough apart to create an elegant garment (no op art effect). The design is intriguing - it starts with five separate triangles, and the triangles are added and connected as you progress through 12 sections of written instructions. A simple straight-cut dress is knitted mainly on the side, and it is shaped with the help of stripes connected in the direction of travel. Each of the 20 included designs is accompanied by a photograph of the building or type of architecture that inspired it (e.g. Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, King's College's beautiful Gothic Chapel, the Sagrada Familia, the Victor Horta Tassel Hotel) . Architectural photographs are displayed in sidebars with text explaining the architectural styles featured. The patterns in the book are not easy to knit, but an adventurous knitter of average skill should be able to knit them. This is another beautiful book full of high quality patterns from knitting book publisher Interweave Press.
