A practical guide to building multicolor knitting skills
Melissa Leapman organizes three major colorwork approaches—stranded knitting, intarsia, and reversible double knitting—into an instructional resource that moves from foundational techniques to hands-on application. Chapters pair sample projects with Designer Workshops on transferable design concepts, while diagrams, how-tos, and troubleshooting-oriented tips support the technical material. A color-theory refresher addresses yarn-combination choices, and the pattern treasury extends the techniques beyond the included projects. With 12 projects and more than 50 patterns, the book is structured as both a learning manual and a reference for developing original colorwork ideas.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Knitters ready to learn stranded, intarsia, or double-knitting techniques
- Crafters seeking projects alongside technical instruction and diagrams
- Knitters interested in choosing and designing color combinations

One of the reasons knitting and colorwork master Melissa Leapman first learned to knit was her wish to make one special project--a sweater using Fair Isle technique. Now, for the first time, she brings her passion for advanced color knitting to knitters who want to knit with any and every color of yarn they can wrap around their needles.
Conquer classic stranded knitting, "draw" images in yarn using intarsia, and make two projects in one with reversible double knitting. Leapman's clear instruction proves that knitting with multiple colors may appear more complex, but it doesn't have to be difficult. She includes the quickest, easiest, and most intuitive methods for each technique, using knowledge honed over years of color knitting workshops with knitters from across the country.
Once you've learned the basics, practice your new skills by creating projects for yourself, your friends, and everyone on your gift list. Each chapter includes a handful of sample projects to get you started, a Designer Workshop that teaches you important concepts in every designer's toolbox, and a pattern treasury of unique patterns to apply to projects of your own creation--more than 50 patterns and 12 projects in all.
Throughout, Leapman's helpful collection of how-tos, diagrams, tips, and hints (including a refresher course in color theory to help you choose the perfect color combinations) makes Mastering Color Knitting the book you'll turn to for information and inspiration time and time again.
