Pretty in Punk -- Another boring scarf? More mittens? We're not gonna take it! And neither should you!

Pretty in Punk salutes counterculture fashion with 25 entirely original designs inspired by fashion icons Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano, and punk legends. Indulge your girly side with the Ready Steady Go mini skirt, rebel with Feel the Pain wrist cuffs, or channel your inner rock star with the very same Mohawk hat Depeche Mode's Martin Gore wears on stage. Whether you're new to knitting or a veteran desperately seeking patterns with an edge, you'll find projects here for every mood and every genre. With step-by-step instructions, helpful technical illustrations and intarsia graphs, plus high-fashion photos of all the finished projects, Pretty in Punk is the only authority on anti-authority knitting.

Alyce Benevides and Jaqueline Milles launched Knit-Head, a line of punk rock knitwear, in 2005. They operate out of New York City and online at www.knit-head.com.

Rob Benevides maintains his sanity through sculpting, painting, and photography. He lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife, Alyce, and their two cats.

Quotes

"The knitted Mohawk hat is officially the coolest woolen creation I have ever seen and I am the hugest fan of Jaqui and Alyce's madly skilled yarn crafting talents." –Michele Romero, Entertainment Weekly
