Ziggurats by Asa Tricosa: Colour & Texture

Following the success of her first book, Ziggurats: 16 Elegantly Seamless Knits, Åsa  Söderman takes knitters with her on another Ziggurat adventure with Ziggurats: Colour & Texture.

With precision and step-by-step instructions, Åsa ensures that each of her stylish and highly customizable patterns result in a well-fitting, finely finished sweater. Cast-on and knit new favourite sweaters in a splendour of textures, colours and beautiful yarns…with some unexpected twists and pops of colour, as per Ziggurat usual!

Characterized by a tailored fit and elegant seamlessness, the signature Ziggurat sweater features an exceptional fit in the yoke and frame. From this foundation you may add ease and movement or choose a sleeker fit as you knit your way seamlessly from top to hem. Fun and practical details, such as sleeve caps, pockets, button bands and Åsa’s go-to seamless lined hems are built into the pattern as you knit. When you bind-off, you are done; with the exception of weaving in a few ends.

Åsa invites you to knit these new Ziggurat favourites with precise details, interesting textures, fun stitch patterns, and colourwork that ranges from simple to advanced. Her wish is for knitters to be inspired to explore their creativity by adapting the patterns in new and exciting ways. Choose a neckline from one and the stitch pattern from another, then
perhaps the hem from a third. Your new favourite sweater awaits!
