The New Stranded Colorwork: Techniques and Patterns for Vibrant Knitwear

by Mary Scott Huff

Classic Norwegian knitting techniques are reinvigorated with a modern twist in this clear and concise handbook to stranded colorwork. Featuring 20 innovative and fun projects--such as the Lotus Blossom Vest, the Go for Baroque Tote, the Counting Crows Pullover, and the Wedding Belle Cardigan--this guide accompanies each with detailed instructional outlines in the tutorial section and is perfect for a variety of skill levels. Going beyond the usual snowflake and reindeer motifs of traditional Norwegian patterns, this modern resource addresses a niche few other knitting guides have explored and offers a technique section that is enjoyable thanks to its conversational tone. Advanced techniques are also highlighted, such as managing two balls of yarn, adding steeks, and finishing cut edges.

Very little information on colourwork techniques. As I am new to stranded knitting, I was hoping for more information on techniques to help me tackle projects in this vein, but the information included in this book was rudimentary at best.

The Bee Hive Baby Sweater is incredible as are all of the patterns. The technique is easy enough but the results on all of these projects will be spectacular!
