Colourwork in the Round - Anna Dervout

From author Anna Dervout, Colourwork in the Round is a paperback knitting book that guides you into colourwork (jacquard) using circular needles. With clear, illustrated step-by-step instructions, it demystifies working with multiple colours in the same row and helps you build confidence with modern motifs, from geometric patterns to stand-alone designs.

Alongside practical guidance on choosing yarns, managing tension, knitting a swatch and working in the round, the book includes a detailed chapter on reading colourwork pattern charts and explains how to integrate clean colour changes. You can then put the techniques into practice with five projects across different skill levels, including a bobble hat, patterned sweaters and a cardigan, with guidance on using the steek technique to turn a sweater into a cardigan. Patterns cater for children from 3 months to 12 years, and women from UK sizes 8 to 22.
