Ziggurats - Colour & Texture

Ziggurats · Colour & Texture is the new and eagerly awaited book by Åsa Tricosa, designed to expand the universe of the Ziggurat method with a deep focus on colour and texture. In these pages, the author will guide you in creating unique garments, characterised by surprising colour combinations and textured surfaces that enhance each project.

The publication has 316 pages and is a rich and inspiring collection. Inside, you will find seventeen new jumpers and cardigans, plus two additional patterns that complete a varied and well-structured selection. The projects range from simple techniques to more complex structures, making the book suitable for both those approaching the method for the first time and those who wish to explore its artistic and technical potential in greater depth.

The Ziggurat method is at the heart of the entire publication. It is an innovative technique based on entirely seamless top-down construction, designed to create garments with a tailored silhouette and a perfectly fitting yoke. The process proceeds with a characteristic zigzag movement that allows the shoulders to be shaped one at a time, minimising the number of threads to be sewn and leaving the garment practically finished as soon as the last round is completed.

Every detail is integrated directly into the knitting process. Collars, sleeves, pockets, buttonholes and lined edges take shape seamlessly, offering a clean, modern and technically refined result. The method is designed to be fluid, satisfying and, for many knitters, irresistibly engaging.

Åsa maintains the style that has made her a benchmark: clear instructions, precise steps and constant guidance through every stage of the process. The designs are elegant, versatile and easy to customise, enriched with step-by-step photo tutorials that make each project accessible. The purchase of the book includes a digital copy, which can be downloaded later.

Ziggurats · Colour & Texture is the definitive book for those who want to combine technical precision, creative freedom and a love of quality yarns. An invitation to explore colour, texture and the pleasure of a technique that leads to truly impeccable finished garments.
