Colorwork refers to a technique used to knit patterns in multiple colors; it requires the simultaneous use of several different colors in the same row. Colorwork is used for sweaters, hats, scarves and mittens, but also a wide range of accessories (cushions, Christmas stockings or coasters). An understanding of colorwork paves the way to integrating a vast range of knitting motifs: horizontal, vertical, geometric or stand-alone.
Anna's patterns are designed to be, above all, relaxing for the knitter; they are written in a clear manner, accessible to beginners, and are also size inclusive. Anna does the hard work of demystifying this traditional knitting technique so that it no longer holds any secrets.
