24 Practical, Beautiful Designs to Wear Every Day!

Knitters love stitching pieces that become mainstays: garments and accessories to wear year after year. They are steadfast companions in your daily adventures: walking the dog, working outdoors, or simply tucking in for a cozy night at home.

Rugged Knits is a collection of 21 functional, lovely, and interesting knitting patterns for men and women. Side-by-side with hearty wool sweaters and sock patterns are more unexpectedly delicate-looking pieces, such as a warm, resilient shawl with lace trim and a cozy cowl with gentle drape. Those who love cables will rejoice in the gorgeously-shaped turtleneck and bright, eye-catching mitts. Fans of colorwork will enjoy both stranded knitting and intarsia pieces, while those who want to keep it simple will delight in textured, knit-and-purl designs.

Andrea Rangel's compelling, classic pieces in Rugged Knits will remain perennial favorites; long after the knitting is done, the knitter will still be wearing each one.
"I just love the directional changes of the stitchwork and the classic lace edging is stunning." --Fiber Flux blog
