Don't be afraid to mix colors and cables!

The often-repeated advice that it is best to choose solid-color yarns when you crochet cables is not always true. With a little bit of knowledge and planning, you can crochet beautiful Celtic cables and enhance the design with your choice of a multicolored yarn.

Author Noelle R. B. Stiles is a vision scientist at the University of Southern California and has done extensive research into the art and science of color play (so that you don't have to!). What she brings to this book is the practical side of color usage. She gives you a broad look at how colors and designs work together and illustrates how color choices affect the final outcome of your crochet pieces. She specifically sets out to prove that multicolored yarns should not be sidelined in your textured crochet pieces and can be used to great advantage. With practical examples and 20 patterns, she shows how crochet designs can feature both a multicolored yarn and an intricate cable to gorgeous effect. Patterns include eye-catching scarves, hats, mitts, blanket, cardigan, and more. If you are new to cabling, there are step-by-step instructions and several beginner patterns. Pull out your favorite hand-painted or variegated yarn and give it a try!

Reviews for Colorful Crochet Cables: How to Crochet Celtic Cabled Designs in Vibrant Multicolored Hues

A unique approach to crocheting that's backed by science. It's suitable for advanced fiber artists who are ready to explore the magic that cablework and colors can add to their creations. -- ""Library Journal"" Award-winning crochet designer (and neurologist) Stiles has written a book that offers much more than advice and 20 patterns to try; it also presents a nuanced discussion of how color affects the brain. Her book moves from the speculative to the spectacular with colorful designs that incorporate multicolored yarn and intricate crochet cables. For each pattern, Stiles provides yarn suggestions, lists the difficulty level, and gives both written instructions and a chart. The easiest patterns rely more on the yarn selection than the technique but still require some knowledge of crochet that may be beyond beginner level. But each project--scarves, cardigans, gloves, hats, ambitious blankets, and more--has a wow factor that's worth the effort. The book also includes references for further reading. VERDICT A unique approach to crocheting that's backed by science. It's suitable for advanced fiber artists who are ready to explore the magic that cablework and colors can add to their creations. -- ""Library Journal""
