One of 17 designs in the NEW Ziggurat book, Åsa Tricosa Ziggurats · Colour & Texture
Stripes are, in theory, the simplest sort of colourwork. But four colour stripes involve keeping a close watch in the Ziggurat yoke construction. They also pose some interesting design challenges for features like bust darts. I have worked that all out for you – all you have to do is knit!
The striped sideways double-knitted collar and the double-knitted split hem may call for a woolly or slightly hairy yarn. A silk-blend or superwash that isn't grippy enough may misbehave for those details.
- includes: eBook (issued later) with 2 extra bonus patterns
- everything is knitted in one go, top to bottom
- no seaming
- very few ends to weave in – carry the idle yarns along on the wrong side
- double-knitted sideways collar (or: simpler option)
- split hip-friendly lined hem
- optional bust dart
- photo tutorials
As usual, there’s the Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast-on.

The Ziggurat Steps are instantly recognisable from one pattern to another.
