New Twists on Twined Knitting: A Fresh Look at a Traditional Technique
New Twists on Twined Knitting by Laura Farson includes over 20 patterns for accessories, using the Swedish technique of twined knitting. "Twined knitting" utilizes two strands of yarn (can be of varying color and weight). Stitches are made by alternating the strands, causing a twisted look to the yarn. The projects are small, simple, and easy, making it perfect for beginners. "Traditional Swedish Sail Hat" ... really shows how beautiful this technique can be, by twisting a strand of black and a strand of white to create a twisty pattern. --Knitting Book Roundup by Alyse Wax
