Giveaway: Geometric Knitting Patterns

September 28, by Sarah White. 35 Comments

geometric knitting patterns

This one goes to Kitten with a Whiplash.

Playing with color in knitting is a lot of fun, whether you’re working simple stripe patterns into a design or using an allover geometric motif in multiple colors and textures.

Geometric Knitting Patterns by Tina Barrett includes charts for 750 different colorwork designs, from stripes and chevrons to plaids, tessellating patterns to designs inspired by nature, simple shapes and random designs.

There are a handful of actual projects in the book, but it’s really more about inspiring you to play with different designs, whether you add them to a plain sweater or stitch up a bunch of swatches and turn them into a colorful blanket.

This fun book is up for grabs this week; if you want a chance to win it leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, October 4. I’d love to know about your favorite color combinations. I’m a big fan of blues and greens but I’m trying to expand my color horizons!

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

    This book looks like fun! I enjoy almost every color combination: reds and orange, blue and orange, red and black re some of my favorites.

    i love a ton of color combos but my favorite right now that I am finding myself working with is navy and cream and dark green or kahki green with a cream color.

    Love it! I’ve been using a lot of light pinks and berry shades lately. Or, to get in the spirit, orange and black?

    Although blue is my favorite color, and I do like tone on tone, I try to branch out in color combos. My last cardi was Dark Chocolate Brown, Mustard Yellow, Avocado Green and Rust. Sounded prettty tasty ’til the rust, didn’t it?

    I like navy and pink. But then I also like Yellow and navy. I think I am just a big fan of navy and other colors.

    I knit a shawl in chocolate brown and seafoam green that’s pretty striking. I was aiming for teal when I dyed the yarn but the seafoam ended up working better than expected.

    I usually go for brown and cream or various shades of blue but am trying to experiment more using a touch of yellow or orange to bring warmth to my knits!

    I recently made a pink and black striped scarf for my daughter. I really love purples and greens or purples and blues together, though.

  18. Susan Spiers says

    Turquoise & brown look so good together, especially in the deeper shades!

    Book of my dreams! So I am crossing my fingers, toes, arms, and legs. My favorite combos are pretty predictable New England–cranberry and cream and hunter green and ivory.

    I like greens and browns often with yellow and red. Together they remind me of fall foliage. I love playing with geometric patterns in my knitting.

  22. Karey says

    September 29, 2015 at 2:07 pm

    I have a lot of fav color combos. Ombres are always nice. But I also like grey with either pink or blue. And anything with black looks nice!

  23. joyce says

    September 29, 2015 at 3:02 pm

  31. Heidi Kirsch says

    September 30, 2015 at 7:55 am

    I love, love pink & brown together. Otherwise, I dig the Japanese ability to mix disparate colors. Sometimes it even works for me.
