Description
Scandinavian Knitwear Colour, Texture and Techniques by Rita Taylor is a comprehensive guide to creating unique 'Scandi knits' inspired by traditional Scandinavian designs. The author takes you through the process of formulating ideas, learning about colour, absorbing local history, and finally creating a piece of knitting that captures the essence of this fascinating region. The book covers various techniques, including accurate measuring, stranded colourwork, and grafting, as well as a full explanation of colour theory. With nineteen complete patterns for garments, accessories, and homeware, you'll find inspiration in chapters on Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Faroe Islands, covering history, design development, and sizing options.
