Book Description

Nov 17 2009
Whether you're a beginning knitter or advanced, whether your tastes range from simple knit-purl stitching to fancy Daisy or Moroccan screen, a dictionary of stitch patterns is indispensable!
 
Young knitters, old knitters, hip knitters, traditional knitters: they all enjoy different styles. But every knitter from age 5 to 95 needs a good dictionary of stitches.  400 Knitting Stitches is a comprehensive guide that invites knitters to experiment with a variety of new stitch combinations. The book is conveniently divided into eight categories: knit-purl, crossed and cables, slipped, lacy,double, twisted, cast-off, and fancy stitches.  Making a romantic lacy wrap or a classic cable sweater? Whatever your style, there's a stitch in here for you.
 
Each of the 400-plus featured stitches is accompanied by easy-to-follow written and charted instructions,as well as a full-color photograph. A section on basic knitting information and techniques at the front of the book makes this volume even more invaluable.

From advanced knitters experimenting with their own designs to beginners looking for clear instruction and explanation, 400 Knitting Stitches is an essential reference for knitters of all kinds.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Helpful Little Stitch Book... Dec 28 2010
Format:Paperback
This is my favorite English knitting stitches dictionary to date. The book starts off with clear concise descriptions of knitting basics which are actually very helpful. I like that they included sequential photos to illustrate some of the techniques.

The bulk of the book is the stitches dictionary and they are broken up into categories: Knit-purl, Crossed stitches and cables, Slipped stitches, Lacy stitches, Double stitches, Twisted stitches, Cast-off stitches, and Fancy stitches. A color guide assigned to each category helps you to find the section you are looking for quick and easily. The swatches of the stitches are bright and very clear. There is a written instructions for each stitch but best of all, at least in my opinion, each one is charted as well. You will LOVE this feature, especially if you want to try your hand at designing knitting patterns. Or if you want to take your knitting to the next level and learn how to read knitting charts. At the back of the book, there is a symbol key section.

All in all, this is a really handy book and definitely worth its price and spot on my "keeper" knitting bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars 400 Knitting Stitches: A Complete Dictionary Jan 22 2012
Format:Paperback
I fell in love with this book. Sat in a Mall for 5 hours trying out every stitch I could to make a pattern for a scarf from what is in this book. It is a wonderful collection of knowledge and info and a valuable resource for one to have and is clear, well worded and written and the photos are great examples of what the stitch will look like and it includes info for some stitches ie. not to use it for certain things since it can be this and that. I will treasure this book.
