Next to the patterns are keywords that refer to the technical chapters in the second part.
In this part there are insights into the specific techniques used to make the patterns presented. Technical drawings of the stitch progressions make the construction of the knits understandable. Based on this, creatives can explore structures and techniques individually to achieve their own goals in combining colors.
At the end of the book, all examples are summarized in a clear matrix and the connection of the patterns shown to the corresponding technical chapters is established. Finally, a glossary provides information on the meaning of the technical terms used.
With its many large-format illustrations of colored knitwear and its details, as well as its profoundly researched information, diagrams and references, "Color in Knitting" is a book that is as beautiful as it is practical and will delight designers as much as anyone interested in the possibilities of colored knitting with flat knitting technology.
