Isager’s collection of Inca inspired sweaters and three hats include distinctive animal and geometric motifs along with some nice surprises as well. Although worked primarily with fine gauge yarn, many of the designs are worked using double strands so beginning knitters need not be intimidated by using fingering weight. The color pattern charts are large enough to be easily read and the garment schematics make sizing easy. Sidebars provide helpful construction notes on everything from slipping stitches to how to measure particular pattern segments and each pattern includes the inspiration that led to their design. Most patterns include a distinctive design element such as well placed welts, two color stranded knitting, tassels or the use of short rows.
