The New Color Work: 26 Knitted Blankets with Modern Colors and Geometric Shaping

by Margaret Holzmann

Overview

Knit stunning geometric blankets using an age-old technique in a brand new way!

Rather than intarsia, stranded knitting, or block sewing, Margaret Holzmann’s “new color work” blankets embrace the simple magic of the pick up and knit stitch. Using this method, each blanket unfolds one color at a time, building upon one upon another into a colorful work of graphic art. You’ll find yourself immediately engaged in the knitting process, working “just one more” row or section until your blanket is completed. Then you’ll be eager to choose a new blanket pattern to make.

The New Color Work includes 26 patterns for bold, modern blankets. Each design features gorgeous photos, written row-by-row instructions, color illustrations of each piece, and schematics to help you visualize how the pieces go together. The fun begins with the first stitch and ends with a hand-knitted masterpiece you'll be proud to display!
