From the Publisher

Crocheted fabric is known for its beautiful texture.

Basketweave patterns, bobbles, popcorns, ridges, and cables are just a few examples of the panoply of crochet stitches. The most traditional knit and crocheted highly textured garments, accessories, and blankets have been made from a single color, often off-white, to highlight the visibility of the complex stitches. These traditional fisherman’s sweaters, Gansey (or Guernsey) sweaters, and Celtic Aran motifs are continually re-emerging as “new” popular trends.

At the same time, modern crocheters love color!

Hand-painted yarns made in small artisanal batches have enlivened the fiber world with a new level of creativity. These hand-painted yarns showcase small, short bursts of vibrant hues, which seem to swirl and flow through each other. In addition, gradients of color have excited yarn enthusiasts and have made beautiful canvasses for shawls and sweaters.

Crocheters don’t have to choose between multicolored yarns and highly textured patterns!

Colorful Crochet Cables covers the steps of selecting a yarn that both showcases texture and is beautifully multicolored. Particularly discussed is the role of brightness, shadow, and color in yarns, and we will provide an easy technique for matching multicolored or gradient yarn to textured patterns. Then, consider stranded colorwork with multicolored yarns and cables and give examples of how to organize a colorful stranded project. Finally, review tips for photographing textured patterns, including the impact of backgrounds, light sources, and cameras. After building this toolset, you can then apply it to twenty crochet projects that range from accessories through garments to blankets and pillows.
