Ivar Asplund explores the possibilities of combining his grandmother's well-loved lessons in classic and time-tested cable knitting techniques with the elegant simplicity of contemporary Scandinavian design. There are 20 projects in this book, ranging from sweaters, cardigans, and ponchos to scarves, wrist warmers and hats - for children and adults - that offer an attractive balance of historic and modern elements, as well as superior fit.

Step by step pattern instruction guide novice cablers through straightforward reversible projects and eye-catching cable repeats; veterans can test their skills on larger more complex garments with multiple cable panels; and a tutorial section explains the fundamentals of working and combining cables in any design to achieve a variety of striking effects.
