This book collects thirty patterns for handknits from the Verstrheim Museum in Decorah, Iowa: folk mittens, sock, scarves, hats wristers, handbags, knapsacks, and sweaters--all inspired by traditional knits in the museum. It is at once a practical guide, a repository of cultural history, and a lovely look at one of the rich traditions knit into the American fabric. 144 Pages. Hardcover. 10.25".
