Publisher's Synopsis
Woolly Wormhead presents the first-ever guide to short-row colourwork knitting with clear step-by-step instruction, a stitch dictionary, and patterns for accessories that utilise this stunning technique. Using short-rows to create colourful patterns is not a new technique. It's been used by many knitwear designers across many extremely popular patterns. Surprisingly, no one has explained the technique in full detail or taught it on a widespread level-until now. Woolly Wormhead, known for their innovative hat constructions, presents the first book to develop, teach, and fully utilise short-row colourwork knitting. Beginning with an in-depth and illustrated step-by-step section, Woolly teaches the core concepts. With that new knowledge, knitters can then move on to explore and practise from a stitch dictionary of 50+ stitch patterns. To round out the book, 10 accessory patterns from various designers from around the world are included, showcasing the beauty, ease of accessibility, and versatility of this technique. Colourwork is always a hit among knitters, and this new way to learn and then use short-row colourwork knitting will draw the attention of knitters and designers alike.
