Riassunto

First Time Stranded Knitting teaches knitters a stunning technique that creates professional-looking work!

Stranded knitting involves knitting with two or more colors of yarn in the same row of stitches. The yarn colors change often, creating gorgeous results, but without guidance, stranded knitting can be a complicated undertaking! Fortunately, First Time Stranded Knitting offers step-by-step instructions for beginners, tips on technique, and photos to ensure that readers are successful with their stranded knitting creations.

The book demonstrates how to hold the needles and yarn correctly, how to work yarn from both hands, and how to follow charts and switch yarn colors while carrying yarn across the back of the work. It also includes tips for achieving professional results and offers samples of various stranded knitting patterns. Beginners are encouraged to start with hats, knitted in-the-round, or a small purse, knitted flat and in-the-round. Sharpen your knitting needles, and take it to the next level with stranded knitting!
