Created by industry leader Vogue Knitting, this book offers 90+
pages of special colorwork paper that features stitch outlines
rather than rectangles—so knitters can grasp what their finished
project will actually look like. Â Knitters who enjoy
creating their own colorwork patterns now have a fun, effective,
and easier way to work! The innovative pages in Vogue Knitting:
Knitter’s Colorwork Paper have outlines in the V shape of an
actual knit stitch rather than the rectangles of ordinary knitting
graph paper. This lets you create a better representation of what
your finished item will actually look like. More than 90 pages of
two common knitting gauges allow plenty of room for hundreds of
patterns. Knitters can use the 5 stitches by 6 rows gauge for
stranded colorwork and the 6 stitches by 8 rows gauge for intarsia
motifs. They can also use this paper to test alternative color
combinations of existing patterns. The book is as fun to use as it
is practical, and will leave knitters wondering why this hasn’t
been done before.
