Pretty in Punk: 25 Punk, Rock, and Goth Knitting ProjectsTwenty-five knitting projects with an edge: “The knitted Mohawk hat is officially the coolest woolen creation I have ever seen.” —Michele Romero, Entertainment Weekly Another boring scarf? More mittens? We’re not gonna take it! And neither should you! Pretty in Punk salutes counterculture style with twenty-five entirely original designs inspired by fashion icons Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano and a variety of punk, rock, and goth legends. Indulge your girly side with the Ready Steady Go mini skirt, rebel with Feel the Pain wrist cuffs, or channel your inner rock star with the very same mohawk hat Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore wears on stage. Whether you’re new to knitting or a veteran desperately seeking patterns with an edge, you’ll find projects here for every mood and every genre. With step-by-step instructions, helpful technical illustrations and intarsia graphs, plus high-fashion photos of all the finished projects, Pretty in Punk is the only authority on anti-authority knitting. |
