My Favorite Knitting Patterns Now - Amimono


I discovered Aminomo books at my favorite yarn store, KnitPurl in Portland, Oregon. They are one of few stores that that sells these books and the Isager yarn that is used to knit the patterns. If you are looking for modern knitting patterns for young women, check out these books. The styles are edgy but classic at the same time and are knitted with beautiful yarn. Her most recent book also includes patterns for toddlers.

The Amimono patterns are written by Helga Isager, who is the daughter of the famous Marianne Isager. Her patterns are fairly simple to knit, though they are somewhat difficult to read. I have found that charting them makes them easier to follow.

I am knitting daffodil now, and then will follow with vanilla and lemon. Stay tuned!
