Knitwear Design With Geometric Shapes

Nikki Gabriel

Design / Textile & Costume

Become the co-designer of your own knitwear, with Construction Knitting.
Using a combination of flat and drape patternmaking, Nikki Gabriel's easy-to-follow technique takes an accumulative approach to garment making, assembling knitwear from individually crafted geometric shapes. Readers are guided through each stage: from creating and assembling the shapes to adapting your garments to fit your unique style. Section one covers knitting techniques for fabric structure and composition, along with yarn specifications, while section two delves into the methodology behind construction knitting.
With photographic and illustrated demonstrations, easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, and clear hand-knitting methods, Construction Knitting is well-suited to students, designers and amateur knitters alike.

Nikki Gabriel is a knitwear and textile designer. Nikki initially trained at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Australia, and now runs her own business based in Napier, New Zealand, designing knitwear and knitting patterns. She also has her very own brand of yarn, Wooli. Nikki's approach to hand-making is about building structures that experiment with techniques and form, and through this process she produces stylish, constructed knitting designs that each wearer can render completely unique.
