Gorgeous Colorwork Knitting Charts to Try

Molly Grimm

Color work, or stranded knitting is one of my favorite looks in a hand knit item. It’s so much fun to watch a knitted picture come to life! Nowadays, we have so many varieties of charts to choose from. You can put anything from a mug of hot chocolate to a dinosaur on your socks and sweaters! Not to mention all the beautiful florals and gorgeous geometric motifs that knitwear designers have dreamed up. It’s endless and extremely fun to make these kinds of knits.
