Each of the four chapters explores a different set of embellishment methods, offering clear illustrations and step-by-step instruction.

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.
