Sometimes nature's most beautiful details are the perfect inspiration for creating simple yet luxurious knits. In Plum Dandi Knits, Alicia Plummer and Melissa Schaschwary—designers, friends, and leaders of the much-love Plum Dandi group on Ravelry—bring you 23 projects that reflect and react to the natural world with a sumptuous twist of plush fibers, feminine accents, and stylish comfort.
Lace that mimics soft forest foliage or the numerous tassels of a pine tree. Textured patterns that call to mind a babbling brook or waterfall. Thick wool shawls and sweaters knit in anticipation of blustery cold days ahead. The uncomplicated pieces in this collection, knit in soft, luxe yarns, are soothing complements to slowing down and settling into peaceful moments. Wherever you seek stillness and calm, Plum Dandi Knits will help take you there.

As fledgling knitting designers, Plummer and Schaschwary met on Ravelry, an online community for knitters and crocheters, eventually developing a brand of their own--Plum Dandi. This collection of 23 all-new designs uses luxury yarns in a variety of weights to create sophisticated, cozy pieces. Standouts include the Genesee cardigan, with its simple lace edging; the Delafield wrap, which combines a super-bulky yarn and an oversize cable; and the Langlade pullover, with lace detailing up the arm. Some of the styling choices are odd--who goes on a hike wearing an all-white ensemble? If your feet are cold enough for thick socks, why aren't you wearing pants? But these are minor detractions from the attractive knitwear and accessories. VERDICT Plummer and Schaschwary's quietly sophisticated designs are an excellent match for luxury yarn.
