Michael Pearson's Traditional Knitting

After visiting the remote fishing villages of Scotland and England, Michael Pearson compiled this extensive record of unique, centuries-old patterns. His sources include oral traditions, documents, family albums, and photos.

Pearson combines a social history of the villages and the living history of these crafts with detailed patterns and practical instructions for knitters.

Richly illustrated, including 32 pages in colour.

First published in 1984. In this revised and expanded edition (2015) the author has added an extensive selection of new pattern charts and full knitting instructions, making this essential work even more valuable to lovers of traditional knitting.

This a paperback edition.
