Exploring the Beauty of Colour Work Knitting
There are 2 straightforward ways to do colour work knitting. One is brioche, and the other is mosaic. Now I like to use a variegated or gradient colorway and a darker contrast color, in this case, it was black. After all, it’s hard to see if your colors match on the computer screen. Color Work is a creative document that explores the techniques of 2-color Brioche and 2-color Mosaic knitting.
