Knitting Colorwork

Test your colors on a chart that looks like knitting.

Instead of plain squares, these pages show real knit stitch shapes in the knit-friendly 4:5 ratio, so you can preview how a colorwork motif will look in fabric. Each edition has regular charts for detailed planning and jumbo charts for close-up sketching.

For plain grid charts of stitch patterns and shaping, pair it with Knitting Graph Paper. For notes and free sketching around your charts, add the Dotted Knitting Journal.
