Color & Knit, Mittens by Aleks Byrd - Knitting Book

Ever wonder what the combination of the joys of a coloring book and knitting would be like? Color & Knit Mittens combines these two to give knitters creative freedom with their stranded colorwork knitting with a ready to knit chart they can color. No more having to decipher and leave notes as to what the colours of a greyscale colorwork chart mean with your colorful yarn palette. Simply color the mitten design of your choice with the colors of your yarn and get knitting!

This is Aleks’ preferred method for planning colorwork patterns, where you can test out combinations before knitting a single stitch! It’s a relaxing way of playing and planning color combos with no pressure. Don’t like your color combo? Simply color the extra copy of the mitten chart to try again- no frogging back hours of knitting needed.

Color & Knit Mittens includes 12 mitten designs with 2 coloring pages of each design. The 12 mittens are inspired by traditional Estonian mittens and woven belt patterns reinterpreted to be knit at a more comfortable gauge using 4ply fingering weight yarn. Aleks created these mittens based on inspiration from her vast traditional Estonian knitting books and collection of traditional Estonian mittens. Make your mittens uniquely you choosing as many or as few colours as you would like and make these mittens your own bespoke masterpiece.
