12 Colourful Knitwear Designs to Make Your Own

Intarsia Knits by Anna Husemann is a focused guide to intarsia colourwork — the technique of knitting distinct fields of colour using separate yarn supplies, rather than carrying yarn across the back. Hamburg-based textile and knitwear designer Husemann walks through the method step by step, from managing multiple balls of yarn to joining colour fields cleanly, before moving into the project collection.

The 12 projects cover size-inclusive garments (US 0–30) and accessories — sweater, top, scarf, tote bag, mittens, and more — each with full-colour knitting charts and detailed instructions.

The book also covers the difference between intarsia and stranded colourwork, and how to combine intarsia with other knitting techniques.
