"The versatility of these vests is matched
only by the diversity of the patterns that adorn them . . ."—Knit ‘N
Style
"Warmly recommended for textile
collections and public libraries."—Library Journal

Vests are festive, warm, easy-fitting,
and practical—just the thing for contemporary knitters, who will delight
in these 25 traditional and innovative patterns collected from around the world
and through the ages. Both functional and decorative, these wonderful projects
for men’s and women’s vests are accompanied by folk stories and regional
histories from the countries of origin: Germany, Nepal, Peru, Japan, and the United
Kingdom, among others. More than a pattern book, this is a book of inspiration,
appreciation, and history. Readers will feel connected to the cultures behind
the projects as they bring these traditional designs to life.
About the author: Cheryl Oberle has been teaching nationally
and designing knitwear for several years. She has written for Interweave Knits
and Knitters magazines, and Folk Vests is her second book, following
Folk Shawls (Interweave Press, 2000). When she isn’t writing or creating
new designs, you can find her in her studio—Cheryl Oberle Designs, in Denver,
Colorado—dyeing yarns for her popular line of vests and shawls. She has held
annual knitting retreats for many years in Taos, New Mexico at other Rocky Mountain
locations.
