The book is very comprehensive in explaining the importance of knitwear in the fashion industry and includes some wonderful images of knitwear design as well explanations of knitted processes, design development, trends and case studies, as well as how to illustrate knits. It's a really clear and beautifully curated book and one I would definitely recommend to students as a very useful companion to learning about knitwear design.
