Andean Inspired Knits

Helen Hamann draws inspiration from historic fabrics and motifs to create this modern collection of wearables, all in soft alpaca, a fiber that boasts unique luster, warmth, and durability.

Helen's fresh approach to from and fit is largely based on short-rows, a no-sew shaping technique for creating nontraditional silhouettes. Other techniques include mitered corners, duplicate stitch, and embroidery, offering interesting and challenging alternatives to conventional patterns.

Gorgeous photographs, clear step-by-step instructions, and illustrations ensure dazzling results in every project.
