Description

Big Splash Knits presents more than 20 outerwear knitting projects perfect for a boil-up in the woods, a hike by the sea, or a trot around town. Each pattern is accompanied by expertly and clearly written instructions and inspirational full-color photographs. Helpful tips and colorful stories round out this collection.

Written with the same passion and attention to detail as the award-winning Saltwater Knits series, Big Splash Knits will appeal to a wide range of knitters. Big Splash Knits designs are inspired by the traditions of Atlantic Canada, showcasing a love of life by the ocean that will resonate with neighbours in New England and like-minded knitters in Europe and Scandinavia.
