Books – Colour and Knit Mittens Book by Aleks Byrd

Ever wonder what the combination of the joys of a coloring book and knitting would be like? Color & Knit, Mittens, gives knitters creative freedom with their stranded knitting along with some structure. In a coloring book format, the math and pattern layout is done and it leaves the knitter the joy of picking whatever color combinations and however many colors they want to use. Simply color the mitten design of your choice with the colors of your yarn and get knitting! There are endless possibilities!

There are twelve designs with two coloring pages of each design. The mittens are designed to be knit with fingering weight yarn.

Aleks Byrd – whose roots are in Estonia, Canada and the USA – is a knitwear designer based in Bath, UK. In addition to knitwear design, she works as an illustrator and teaches Estonian knitting techniques around the world. In her designs, tradition and Aleks’ own, graphic style meet. With her book, Aleks wants to make traditional Estonian techniques accessible to everyone while at the same time building a bridge between Estonian knitters and the international knitting community.
