More about the book
I invite knitters along for another Ziggurat adventure to play with colour and textures and variant Ziggurat constructions.
If you are already familiar with Ziggurat, you will recognise the characteristic tailored, elegantly seamless construction that ensures an exceptional fit in the yoke and frame.

Knitters will find:
- 10 sizes for each design (32"–54" / 81 cm–137 cm)
- gauge range: 18–32 sts
- signature Ziggurat features
- entirely seamless & top down: exceptional fit in yoke & frame
- skill levels: intermediate–advanced
- simple to more intricate cables & textures
- simple colourwork borders to more intricate all-over colourwork
- fun & funky (built-in) details
- video & tutorial support throughout the launch
- colouring sheets (free download for pre-'swatching')
Åsa's NEW BOOK is aimed at the discerning knitter looking for her (or his) next moves and inspiration.

About me

I am a Swedish knitting designer who now lives in Germany with a Danish husband.
I knit with abandon.
I’ve knitted my way from Sweden to Germany via New York and Boston and Singapore, and Sussex.
You will soon notice that my designs are mostly seamless and top down, and that I’m seriously attracted by clever solutions.

The Ziggurat sweater is my signature. It’s a seamless, top down, contiguous or Simultaneous Set In sleeve method that I have developed and polished since my first Ziggurat saw the light in 2011. I’m still somewhat obsessed by it.

Just a little bit later I cleared my desk of notebooks and scribblings about J.S. Mill and a turgidly slow-forming PhD dissertation – “knitting” appears exactly nowhere in his Collected Works. I’m sure you can see the problem.
I’m a knitter, not an academic. I know there are academic knitters – and knitting academics. I’m just not one of them.

My other somewhat edged-out-of-the-way obsession is food. Good food. And crusty bread. Our house pet is a sourdough starter (which I happily share).

By the way, Åsa (Ooh-sah or Awe-sah) rhymes with Tricosa in most or many languages. Söderman rhymes with not much at all.

I hope you enjoy my designs!
