Whether you are casting on one of the 8 sweater designs, or using the recipe pattern to create a colourful yoke sweater of your own, it's an adventure either way! Come along with us as we play with colour and pattern, creating beautiful sweaters and accessories. In order to add yet another element of adventure, we went to amazing Iceland to photograph all of the pieces in this book. Join us as we take a trip full of colourwork fun and Icelandic adventure!
Definitely the go-to reference/pattern book if you want to learn to knit a colourwork sweater, whether top down or bottom up, pullover or a steeked cardigan. Alexa Ludeman & Emily Wessel make this so easy. If you're afraid to jump right in and knit a sweater, you can start small with a hat or cowl. They include so many stitch designs for you to incorporate and make your own unique sweater.
This is a wonderful book for anyone who enjoys knitting.
There are different projects for different skill levels, whether you want to start on a hat, or go head-first (pun intended) into a colourwork sweater. Choose one of their designs, or design your own using their "recipe" formula.
The illustrations are gorgeous, the charts are clear. It's a fab book.
