In nature, they’re found in fern leaves and corals. In this book, they’re found in the pattern for a scarf, the cables of a pullover, and the intricate hemline of a skirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pentagon is a familiar five-sided figure that, in nature, can be spotted in the starfish or sand dollar; in this book it’s spotted in the yoke of a pullover, the textures of a cardigan, and the shape of a shawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn nature, water waves and chemical waves abound; in this book, they flow as the patterns in a hat and mittens and in the gores of a skirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKnitting Nature\u003c\/em\u003e is a singular book created by one of the most innovative and respected designers working today.
