Product Description
Product Description
Most of the stitch dictionaries on knitters’ shelves are remixes of familiar stitch patterns already published elsewhere. Not so for Lynne Barr’s groundbreaking book Reversible Knitting. Not only is every one of the 50 stitch patterns completely new and never before seen, but each is also reversible—for a total of 100 different looks!
Reversible stitch patterns can be used to create projects where either side can be worn facing outward, or where two sides of the piece are visible simultaneously (such as a scarf or a garment with collar or cuffs that that can be worn up or down). In addition to stitch patterns, the book features 20 such projects—from accessories like scarves, hats, and socks to sweaters and dresses—designed by the author and by 12 top knitwear designers including STC authors Véronik Avery, Norah Gaughan, and Teva Durham. Rounding out the book are in-depth instructions for the specialized techniques required for reversilbe work.

Stylish???,
By Crystal "Fibre Addict" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reversible Knitting: 50 Brand-New, Groundbreaking Stitch Patterns (Hardcover)
I'm not happy with this book at all. I bought it for the stitch on the cover and that is the only stitch in the whole book I like, and after seeing the picture close up it's not that great looking either. The patterns and stitches do not fit my style at all and I thought I was a little trendy and contemporary. They remind me of runway fashion shows - the designs are so out there to me I don't know who would wear them.There is some interesting information about double sided knitting and various cast ons. I am an intermediate to advanced knitter and I felt that some of the explanations (especially for the stitch patterns) were confusing and over my head.

This review is from: Reversible Knitting: 50 Brand-New, Groundbreaking Stitch Patterns (Hardcover)
I love that book, I do not know why one reviewer called the designs out there. I think there is a lot of great stuff in this book. I am actually knitting a reversible vest from it, I learnt to double knit and I am very excited about it. Veronique Avery is a wonderful designer and she had a contribution in the book. A lot of others contributed wonderful ideas. Just check out Ravelry and you will see the patterns.

Reversible Knitting: 50 Brand-New, Groundbreaking Stitch Patterns,

This review is from: Reversible Knitting: 50 Brand-New, Groundbreaking Stitch Patterns (Hardcover)
I purchased this book for my "serious knitting" friend. I was inspired and excited about all the stitch patterns at the beginning of the book and I just know that she will apply these patterns to many of her knitting projects. When she received the book from me, her eyes and smile got wider and wider as she leafed through the pages. It is a wonderful book!
