Short-Row Colorwork Knitting: The Definitive Step-by-Step Guide by Woolly Wormhead

Using short rows to create colourful patterns in knitting is not a new technique. But 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 this first-ever 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, you can then explore and practise the technique using the dictionary of 50 stitch patterns. There are then 10 accessory patterns from various designers around the world, showcasing the beauty, ease of accessibility, and versatility of this technique. There’s even a chapter on using the technique in your own designs.

Contains:
In-depth explanations of the core concepts, including detailed photo tutorials
50 stitch patterns, all fully written and mapped (charted)
10 knitting patterns for accessories: 4 shawls, 2 Hats, 2 scarves, 1 cowl, 1 pair of mitts
