Suitable for knitters of all skill levels, this USA-made book is designed for easy use and storage, making it an essential resource for anyone passionate about knitting cables, lace, and textured designs. ## Description With more stitch patterns than any other full-colour stitch dictionary on the market, 400 Knitting Stitches is an expansive resource. This book provides a basic guide to knitting techniques as well as the instructions for creating more than 400 stitches, from simple to elaborate. Each stitch is clearly illustrated with a close-up photograph and accompanied by a chart to make it even easier to master. Perfect for: knitters everywhere who love cables, lace, and textured stitches; intermediate and experienced knitters who want a no-nonsense guide that contains every stitch they need; creative knitters - new or experienced - who love to experiment with their designs. Review: Written Clearly in English Notation and Chart Form - Excellent book for crwating your own textures in existing patterns or making a sampler blanket for example. Each stitch is described in English notation and with a chart of that is your preference, the pictures for each stitch are clear enough to make out pattern details and where the stitch is reversible the back of the work is also photographed. I have a good few knitting stitch and pattern books but note that the Japanese pattern books seem to be exclusively chart based which I find it impossible to work from except for Fairisle colour-work and the ones that are not based on charts seem to be be written in ‘new notation’ that appears to be becoming popular in US patterns but is not standardised or clear for many of us older knitters. This book however has clear English notation written instructions and a glossary of terms in the back for any uncommon acronyms, it is my go-to for a nice cable design or lacework pattern. The only minor criticism I have is the rows are all written along one long line of text. I am used to each new row instruction starting on a new line so I tend to write out the instructions in a notebook including the back rows (sometimes glossed over with just follow the lead of the previous row which can be confusing where there are cables to know what to k and what to p). This enables me to also record the number of edge stitches and repeats plus tally the number of row repeats as well, I noted that the ‘edge stitches’ and extra repeat stitches that you need to add at either end of the row can sometimes be a bit wrong so writing out the pattern by hand helps to avoid any mistakes from creeping into the work when a row contains multiple repeats of the pattern plus edge stitches. Review: What an amazing book! Essential for new or experienced knitters - I've just taken up knitting for the first time after also recently taking up Crochet. Knitting is more technically tricky but this book soon shows you that you can knit some utterly amazing patterns and stitch types with the minimum of knowledge and effort, and just a couple of needles and some yarn. The more complex 'fancy' patterns are also really clearly explained. I am not sure why other reviewers described this book as 'text heavy' as there are plenty of illustrations, stitch guides and 'how tos' for beginners as well. I've spent a happy week working through most of the Knit / Purl patterns and am now moving on to the more fancy stuff (though cabling is still well and truly beyond me!) An absolutely essential book in my opinion and really great for beginners Good service from the seller (slower than standard 'sold by desertcart' but a better price and the book was properly packaged and did not get damaged in transit. ## Features - Suitable for knitting projects - Suitable for all age people - Made in USA - Designed for easy usage and storage ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Product Dimensions | 17.73 x 1.7 x 22.81 cm; 1.05 kg | | Is assembly required | No | | Batteries required | No | | Item weight | 1050 Grams | ## Images ![400 Knitting Stitches: A Complete Dictionary of Essential Stitch Patterns - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91+I5hYSMTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Written Clearly in English Notation and Chart Form *by A***K on 27 October 2023* Excellent book for crwating your own textures in existing patterns or making a sampler blanket for example.
