This is a book on lace knitting by Bernd Kestler, featuring elegant patterns created through a combination of yarn overs and decreases. Unlike traditional lace crochet, Kestler's lace knitting is designed to be easy to work with, mainly using Japanese needle sizes 3 to 5 (US sizes approx. 2.25–3.75 mm). The patterns are highly versatile—perfect for shawls, light scarves, and more—and since lace knitting works well with both summer and winter yarns, these designs can be enjoyed year-round.

The patterns strike a balance between delicate and bold, offering a fresh take on lace knitting with 55 unique motifs suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced knitters. Another highlight of this book is Kestler’s signature sense of color combination—vibrant and distinctive. While lace is traditionally done in monochromatic shades like white or black, this book explores new territory by using gradient yarns and vivid "vitamin colors", opening up a wide range of creative possibilities for your projects.
