Stranded Color Knitting eBook

Struggling with knitting a Fair Isle sweater or a Norwegian hat? Learn how to knit with two yarns in this technique-packed 36 page booklet that was reviewed in Knitty (Fall 2005) and in the Winter 2006 issue of Interweave Knits. This helpful resource now includes two methods for holding both yarns in your right hand, two methods for holding both yarns in your left hand, a method for using both hands, and two methods for knitting with 3 or more colors per row. Other subjects include how to deal with tension problems, dealing with floats and color jogs, and how to work in all those ends.

Heavily-illustrated with color and black and white photos, this booklet also includes two stranded hat patterns (Easy Colorwork Cap and the Norwegian Star Hat) to get you started.
