  Each of the four chapters explores a different set of embellishment methods, offering clear illustrations and step-by-step instruction. Each technique is then showcased in Louisa's romantic, feminine and cherished signature style, from a beret with ribbon embroidery or a beaded scarf to a simple knitted vest with eyelets or tank top with applique hearts. Many patterns also include variations using a different yarn, edging, or embellishment to demonstrate the range of looks possible. Louisa's appraoch highlights the boutique feel of each design, encouraging knitters to add their own personality by customizing projects. The additional design tips and ideas offered throughout provide fresh inspiration to create a unique piece of knitwear. Filled with inspiring project photography from the coast of France, this book evokes romantic femininity and showcases how a project can be totally transformed by creative and well-placed embellishment.
