This collection of the 50 most famous designs by Rowan's world-renowned artisans presents virtually every style of sweater, jacket, and shawl in photographs, drawings, and charts. With lush color photos, detailed patterns, and explicit instructions, knitters will be able to duplicate the beautiful results of Rowan's famous designers. The Best of Rowan also contains a brief history of the company and its rescue of the Green Lane Mill.
