Asa Tricosa - Ziggurats: Colour & Texture
Asa Tricosa
Following the success of her first book, Ziggurats:16 Elegantly Seamless Knits, Asa Soderman takes knitters with her on another Ziggurats adventure with Ziggurats:Colour & Texture.
With precision and step-by-step instructions, Asa ensures that each of her stylish and highly customizable patterns result in a well-fitting, finely finished sweater. Cast on and knit new favorite sweaters in a splendor of textures, colors and beautiful yarns--with some unexpected twists and pops of color, as per Ziggurat usual!
Characterized by a tailored fit and elegant seamlessness, the signature Ziggurat sweater features an exceptional fit in the yoke and frame. From this foundation, you may add ease and movement or choose a sleeker fit as you knit your way seamlessly from top to hem. Sun and practical details, such as sleeve caps, pockets, button bands and Asa's go-to seamless lined hems are built into the pattern as you knit. When you bind off, you are done (except for weaving in a few ends)!

About the Author
Asa Siderman, known to the knitting world as Asa Tricosa, is a pattern designer who delights in solving tricky knitting problems. Her designs feature her own innovative techniques and a pure pared-back style, centered around warm functionality, clean lines, flawless craftsmanship and an understated Scandinavian elegance.
She finds her inspiration in the creative generosity and flair of the knitting community, and in turn enthuses others to knit with abandon. Her ardent desire is to share her signature Ziggurat method for truly seamless sweaters and cardigans. She teaches it with missionary zeal all over Europe and North America.
Born and raised in Sweden, Asa has lived in New York, Boston, Sussex, Singapore and Scotland. She has now knitted her way to Germany, where she lives with her Danish husband.
