Overview

Imagine a softly striped crib blanket knit in the comforting colors of the nursery. Or a sophisticated cashmere wrap featuring rich jewel tones that set off a favorite black dress. Knitting teacher and author Margaret Radcliffe presents a world of color techniques in a single comprehensive reference that you'll consult every time two or more yarn colors are in play. Stitchers of every ability level will love the color-combining methods and professional secrets revealed in The Essential Guide to Color Knitting Techniques.

Multicolor knitting techniques are explained with step-by-step illustrations and photographs accompanied by instructive text. Complete chapters on stripes, stitch effects, knitting with multicolor yarns, stranded knitting, and intarsia cover the theory and how-to behind each method as well as offering creative solutions for handling tangled yarn, estimating yarn quantities of each color, tips on how to handle all those ends, and stunning finishing techniques. An additional chapter describes more unusual techniques, such as helix, shadow, mosaic, and modular knitting.

    Terrific!

    I love the way the book is laid out, I love the detail Margaret Radcliffe includes, I love the patterns, her instructions, her attention to detail. This is an awesome book about color techniques and one I'll be using a lot. I'm not a terribly advanced knitter, only been knitting for about 3 years, and this was easy to read and understand. Highly recommended.

    FANTASTIC

    Clear instructions, easy to follow. This is the best knitting books on the market to learn color knitting. Big color photos, etc. There are no negatives to this book.

    Essential for any knitter wanting to try color

    The Essential Guide to Color Knitting Techniques is a clear and beautiful guide to color knitting that is not completely intarsia. I have tried many of their slipped stitch color patterns and they turned out beautifully, and when I am ready to try intarsia, I will reference this book (along with Debbie Stoller, of course) to get me started up. This book provides the basic stitches to be made into anything the knitter can dream up and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get into color but may not be completely ready for the complicated intarsia techniques. I bought this book for a fellow knitter because I felt she had to have it.

    Fantastic book for color knitting of all types

    This is a great book for anyone interested in knitting with colour. The author explains colour wheels/harmonies at the beginning but then spends most of the time on techniques for stripes, fair isle, intarsia, reversible knitting, etc. Margaret has a lovely clear writing style, so you won't be too intimidated to try stuff out. There are many colour illustrations so you can see how tensions affects the finished product and how colour and pattern can be used together. A comprehensive book that is still interesting for the experienced knitter.
