ABSTRACT

For most of these projects, the design relies on rep-

etition of a small pattern. For instance, a granny square

uses the same stitch pattern on each round, and a shawl

can be made with repetitions of a pineapple motif or a

fancy stitch. These can create beautiful projects with-

out a large-scale design: they’re simply built up by

the orderly arrangement of smaller designs. This chap-

ter focuses on large-scale designs that can be resized.

With each iteration (repetition) of the design, the object

grows significantly.
