Beautiful and historic African carpets; baskets; and other textiles provide the design inspiration for these 16 sophisticated knitted cardigans; pullovers; and sweater vests. Intended for seasoned knitters; these projects use domino; double knitting; entrelac; intarsia; and stranded two-color techniques worked in fingering-weight yarns. The Shoowa Vest; the African Domino Pullover; and the Arrowheads Cropped Pullover show off fancy stitching; while other designs feature colors borrowed from the mud-dried fabrics of Mali; the block patterns of Ghana; or motifs from Nigeria; Sierra Leone; Zaire; and Zimbabwe. African animals decorate the Giraffe Vest and Zebra Cardigan; and elsewhere leaping antelope and birds in flight are used in repeating patterns.
