Fourteen gorgeous Scandinavian style sweaters are featured in Top-Down Colorwork Knit Sweaters and Accessories. Knitting from the top down is the easiest way to knit a sweater because, when you finish, there is nothing else to do as there are no seams to deal with. If you are an ambitious knitter with moderate skills or more experienced, this beautiful book is for you. Each pattern is illustrated with photographs that show the design of the color work and the fit of the sweater. The instructions are easy to follow but if you have questions, you can refer to the “how-to” guide at the start of the book. You’ll find a list of abbreviations there too.
There are also colorwork charts and each sweater can be made in sizes from small to extra large. The accessories that follow the sweaters are for hats, headbands, mittens and more. Using these patterns, you can work with colors on a smaller scale. I am a knitter and Top-Down Colorwork Knit Sweaters and Accessories makes me want to pick up my needles and start a new project! 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Rowman & Littlefield and Wenke Müller for this ARC.

This book has some beautiful patterns! The models wear them well and are in gorgeous scenery, so the pictures are stunning!! There are a number of tips included on the patterns as well. It seems very thorough, but I also found it to be a bit confusing and overwhelming. I'm a visual person so would have loved to see some step by step pictures. I'm sure that an experienced knitter would have no issue with this though. Overall, a great knitting book!
