If colourwork knitting is your thing, you’re going to really enjoy this mix and match knitting card deck by Jamie Lomax.
The Doodle Knitting Card Deck takes all 200 colourwork charts from the bestselling (and our fave!) Doodle Knit Directory and puts them into a format you can carry around with you and properly play with. We love that you are able to shuffle the cards and lay them out to build up your own one-of-a-kind stranded colourwork designs.
Each card features a motif chart on one side and a photo of the knitted swatch on the other, which makes it all so much easier to picture how everything will come together before you cast on. And the possibilities really are pretty endless with these. You can use the charts across all sorts of knitting projects, including:
- Hats
- Cowls
- Mittens
- Sweaters
- Socks
- Anything else you feel like adding a bit of colourwork to
If you’re not quite sure where to start, there’s a 16-page booklet included with top tips on how to use the cards, along with a simple stranded colourwork cowl pattern (which we’ve used loads in our knitting workshops) to get you going straight away.
If you’re looking for a pressie for your favourite crafter, The Doodle Knitting Card Deck is fantastic gift for knitters of all levels, especially those who love to experiment with colourwork and have a tendency to go off piste when following a pattern…!
