Marino – Knitting Jacquard

Marino. Jacquard Knitting – Ocean Motifs with Technique and Colour

In Marino. Jacquard Knitting, designer Jandi Gardiazabal delves into the visual richness of the sea to bring to life a new collection of patterns knitted using the jacquard technique. Each design evokes elements such as fish, coral, waves and octopuses, in a collection that combines the graphic with the emotional. The result is a book that not only teaches but also inspires you to create garments full of colour, memories and visual expressiveness that evoke the ocean.

This work is not a simple continuation of her previous book, but a creative expansion.

Here you will find ten new patterns, explained step by step with clarity, and adaptable for both children and adults. Sweaters, cardigans and other models of progressive difficulty are included, as well as a versatile final project for all sizes. The author encourages experimentation, personalisation and playing with colour, motivating each person to reinterpret the designs according to their own style. Jandi's pedagogical approach shines through on every page.

In addition to knitting instructions, the book Marino. Tejer Jacquard contains sections on colour theory, possible combinations, harmonies and proportions, all illustrated with real samples. Through her accessible narrative, the author accompanies the reader on a journey where jacquard knitting becomes a playful, accessible and deeply personal experience, guided by the beauty of the marine world.

Marino. Tejer Jacquard – Ocean inspiration and visual creativity

The source of inspiration for Marino. Tejer Jacquard lies in the depths of the sea, in its creatures, colours and movements. Each design is inspired by a memory or emotion linked to the marine environment: starfish, jellyfish, fish, seaweed, nets and corals give shape to a collection rich in visual symbolism. The patterns translate this imagery into woven graphics that capture the changing energy of water and the organic beauty of the ocean.

Jandi Gardiazabal's designs stand out for their careful and enveloping colour palette. Each garment uses combinations of warm, cool and neutral tones that evoke underwater light, sunsets by the sea or the depth of the water. The aim is not only to reproduce these designs, but to offer a starting point for each person to adapt them to their own vision. The book Marino. Tejer Jacquard celebrates the freedom to experiment with shapes and colours when knitting.

Marino. Tejer Jacquard – Clear technique, colour and creative accompaniment

On a technical level, this book offers a clear structure that makes jacquard knitting accessible even to those who have not yet mastered the technique. It begins with a comprehensive introduction to the use of tools, materials and basic concepts such as increasing, decreasing, closing, blocking and reading diagrams. It then develops a specific chapter on colour theory that facilitates the creation of your own palettes and helps you understand how to achieve visual harmony in each garment.

The highlight is that Jandi Gardiazabal not only teaches you how to follow instructions, but also how to modify designs and adapt them to your personal taste. The book Marino. Tejer Jacquard is full of resources such as technical tips, visual examples, accessible explanations and QR codes that link to video tutorials. Everything is designed to accompany the knitter from the first stitch to the finished garment, combining technique and creative freedom with a deeply human approach.
