Hollywood Knits Style: With 30 Original Suss Designs

Knitting has made a thoroughly modern comeback, and Hollywood knitwear designer Suss Cousins has had no small part in its stylish renaissance. In Hollywood Knits and Hollywood Knits Style—now in affordable new paperback editions—Cousins shares the creativity and panache that have helped inspire a new generation of hip young knitters.

Hollywood Knits features 30 offbeat and colorful projects—from adorable hats and scarves to gorgeous sweaters, throws, and a cell phone holder—that are both elegant and wearable, modeled by Hollywood icons such as Julianne Moore and Chanel model Kirsty Hume. In Hollywood Knits Style, Cousins presents 30 more chic and modern designs—including a funky purse, a Valentine pillow, and even his-and-her dog sweaters for hipster pooches—along with just a little insider gossip about the stars who have made, bought, or worn them. She also shows knitters how to host knitting parties, start a knitting circle, decorate with yarn, and fund-raise through knitting.
