The imitation Intarsia design for this T shirt is
adapted from one of the ideas in Maggie’s book “Easy Intarsia”. This book shows you how to use holding
position to imitate Intarsia to knit all sorts of geometric shapes into
your stocking stitch garments. Like shallow or steep slopes, wedges, triangles, diabolos, diamonds,
squares, imitation patchwork, and even
simple landscape pictures. All done with
the single bed carriage and only one colour in use at any time.
This book is available from Maggie Andrews
