I loved this book. As an avid knitter I would love to have this one in my collection of knitting books. Gradient yarns are all the rage right now, but I honestly don't see them ever going out of style. And the projects in this book showcase the yarns perfectly.

This book came at just the right time for me in my knitting journey. There are so many indie-dyed yarns available now, with the small mini-skeins coming along, that this book is perfect for matching and mixing colors. For cowls, small shawls, scarves, and whatever you could imagine making, this book is so helpful in suggesting colors, avoiding pooling and other problems encountered in this challenging craft. Highly recommended.

A knitter can always trust Interweave to put out beautifully edited books. Gradient Style has a great introduction on how to use a color wheel and put together your own gradients of various styles. The books is worth it just for this section.

As an experienced knitter and someone who has knit gradients I found the advice helpful for designing my own garments or editing a pattern that was not designed for gradients.

The only thing that bothered me about the book was the models boldly made up eyeshadow. It was very distracting and took away from the projects which should be the focus of the photos.

As soon as I saw this book I was thinking of my next scarf :). Beautiful ideas and the cast-on figures are really helpful.
Thank you Netgalley for this nice book.

Gradient style is a lovely cheerful book, full of excellent patterns.
The patterns are varied and written in an easy to follow form.
An excellent book for and knitter wanting to get into the gradient craze.
Ii voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book . All views and opinions are my own.

This if a fabulous knitting book. With all of the new yarns on the market at last an answer to how to knit them and get the results you want. Great patterns. Already have several on my list of what to knit. You will love this book!

Lots of patterns for those knitters who want to branch out into the new gradient craze. Patterns are many and varied and there is certainly something for every taste.

This is a short but fun knitting book. The subject is pretty narrow, but I really liked several of the patterns. For those who are ready to start experimenting with multiple colors.

I received a free copy of this eBook for review purposes.

I received a copy from Net Galley for an honest review. I received it at the last minute so I have not had a chance to try any of the patterns. I love to knit and the patterns given are beautiful. I especially like the socks and hats specially, since they are a good way to try the techniques and see what works. I believe the biggest pattern size for the sweater is in the low 50’s so no plus women’s sizes
It talks about gradient techniques. Gradient Method 1 (worked flat) is called even striping and it not only explains it well but also shows a visual sample(swatch). It continues to do this 3 more times. The author shares more techniques but that one is the one I want to try. I love the visuals
As I was reading, I thought she mentioned that all the yarns used were for Madeline Tosh. The projects are beautiful and I cannot wait to try some of them

Gradient Style by Kerry Bogert immediatly spoke to me, and yes I’ll admit that gorgeous cover was one of them. But also because of the concept: I think that gradient yarns are the best thing ever. I love bright color and I love even more to use multiple colors and the way this book uses them just makes me happy. It’s so much more special than a store bought sweater and you can fit it to your own favorite colors so yeah it is just awesome. Enough gushing, let’s talk about the book! The first chapters are dedicated to how and why gradient works, with the use of the color wheel. It was very interesting and I learned a few things, but it’s still kinda hard for me to see why something works or not (I would’ve liked to see some examples that had gone wrong and why that was the case and what to donif the store doesn’t have yarn that’d work). In the back there was an extensive guide with drawings - and I think I’m finally understanding the extra stretchy bind off. Yay for pictures! And then, the projects... this was my favorite part of the book! You know how some patterns look sooo awesome but are totally over the top for real life? Or those patterns where you think: yeah this is just like the one in the store. These patterns are exactly inbetween: they are awesome, with unique touches and yet totally wearable. There is a variety of projects though the most are scarfs/wraps and pullovers/cardigans, which is fine by me since it showcases gradient the most. I’m giving this book 4 stars because I would’ve liked a little more info on the gradient itself but overall I really liked it!

I received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Wonderful book! Hand-dyed yarns are so popular, but while looking lucscious on the shelf, it can be challenging to know how to optimize their beauty in a finished prject. This book offers four methods of combining a range of different hand-dyed yarns to produce gorgeous garments or accessories. The variety of projects and patterns in the book is excellent. They range from socks, to sweaters, to shawls, scarves, and cowls. High.y recommended for the curious and playful knitter.

This is an excellent resource for knitters interested in fades and gradients who don't want to be bound to pre-existing patterns. The first section offers some insight into color theory, examples of different fade and gradient techniques, and suggestions for overcoming unappealing results. The rest of the book consists of a series of patterns designed to show off these techniques to their best. Highly recommended.

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. Gradient Style edited by Kerry Bogert is a good primer for those who have been seeing all the lovely gradient knits that abound lately and wondering where to start. It has beautiful photographs, informative illustrations, interesting patterns and easy to understand instructions. The colour wheel lessons are helpful to anyone wanting to explore colour theory further and I do recommend adding this book to your collection.

I like this book as it gives me the freedom and explains the know-how to knit my own gradient colours. How many of us have brought a ball of wool which has been commercially gradient, only to be disappointed as the colours are too random or come at the wrong place in the row to work for your knitted article.
This book gives you the information to blend the colours yourself, and the patterns gives an idea of how to make it look seamless.
This is a very informative book, certainly very readable, easy to understand and use. Just the book to make that one -off item that everyone will admire and ask how you did it.

As a knitter who has dabble in gradient play, and looked for guidance on the net, this was a great intro, telling techniques, showing the results, and talking about best case scenarios for using them as well. Expert recommendations that are easy to apply to real life projects. There are projects for every level of ambition and knitting bravery. There are certainly some images that I wished were in here, with some projects not fully showing the object as it transitions between colors and rather has it draped on the wearer. It's lovely to see what an object looks like on, but in this case it's integral to be able to see the rows that make a transition in colors happen.

Regardless this can be considered a vital edition to anyone's library who loves color and knits.

Another over the top book from Interweave! I do a lot of different crafts but knitting is the most relaxing for me. The sweaters are so beautiful and the cowls amazing. Socks are my carry along projects of choice. Fantastic patterns and instructions to achieve a beautiful knitted item. Big thanks to NetGalley for the free download and to the author and publisher.

Another great collection of knitting patterns from Interweave. All of the patterns here utilize either color-shifting/gradient yarns or gradient sets. In the beginning, various ways of transitioning between two colors are covered, then we move into the patterns. There are a nice variety of projects represented, from sweaters to cowls to shawls/wraps and more so there's a little something for everyone. Photos are well done and show details of the projects well. There are many projects that would be suitable for a newer knitter, however there are more advanced techniques used as well including colorwork, brioche and pieced sweaters. This book would be great for the knitter looking to put those beautiful gradients in their stash to use!

Thank you to F+W Media and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

Specifically for knitters, this book helps crafters take advantage of the wide range of gradient colored yarn sets currently on the market. Some basics of using the color wheel are included in the introduction, followed by a good number of projects patterns using gradient colors: socks, sweaters, shawls, and mittens. The editor wisely advises knitters to go to the yarn shop and physically mix and match colors for new projects, rather than simply buying materials online. This book is great for anyone who wants to give their flat knitting some kick by using gradient color combinations.

Gradient Style informs about knitting with color: color-shifting projects, fundamentals of the color wheel, gradient yarns, etc. The techniques for gradient patterns include even and uneven striping and double stranding. If all of this sounds overwhelming, fear not as the instructions are well-detailed and simple to grasp. The book also presents 19 patterns to practice your color skills on: tees, socks, mittens, hats, cowls, shawls, pullovers, cardigans and scarves. Gradient Style is a useful and beautifully-photographed addition to any knitting bookshelf. Thank you to Interweave and NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
