Construction Knitting uses clear visual aids to demonstrate modular exercises for practical and theoretical applications of hand, machine and digital knitting methods. While the idea of using geometric shapes for knitting is not new, Nikki Gabriel's development of construction knitting is a system designed for the user to be co-designer, so the book provides the tools for the reader to engage and transform the design to fit their individual needs and preferences. Construction Knitting is a creative approach to garment construction and a useful visual reference guide for design students, professionals or hobby knitters.

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.
