Patterns With Fresh Ideas for Using Knitted-in Pleats (Tucks)By Lynne E.Primarily a pattern collection; this book offers many fresh ideas for using knitted-in pleats (tucks) to shape garments or embellish garments. My favorite designs are (1) "Shoulder Chic"; a beaded; scoop neck; cutoff tee that uses pleats to pull the center front and center back upwards into graceful curves; (2) "Vested Interest"; a little vest that uses pleats for a raised rib effect all over the back; and for shaping that pulls in the sides of the vest for a snug; flattering fit; (3) "Borderlines"; an elegant; mostly sideways-knit jacket with vertical pleats at the center fronts; and horizontal pleats at the cuffs; and (4) "Long Way Back"; a stylish pullover with elongated back and horizontal pleats at the lower edge; cuffs; and collar.There are clear technical instructions; with drawings; for knitting full-row; partial-row; and puffy pleats. For a pleat (often called a tuck); you pick up stitches from a previously knit row on a spare needle; and then knit together the stitches on the spare needle and the stitches on your working needle. If you can do a three-needle bind-off; you can do these pleats!Partial-row pleats are great for shaping garments; as an alternative to knitting short rows. Puffy pleats make the pleats really stand out; because the stitches in the rows between the knitted-together rows are doubled with increases; and then decreased back for the final knitted-together row.Because both the technique and the patterns are so simple; I rate this book at 4 stars ("I like it"). Its a book that is nice to have; and that should be a welcome gift for any serious knitter; knitting book collector; or knitter who loves one or more of the patterns. If what you are interested in is just knowing how to knit these pleats; the technique is also explained (under "pull-up stitch") in my favorite general knitting reference book; Knitters Handbook : A Comprehensive Guide to the Principles and Techniques of Handknitting.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
