Reversible Knitting: 50 Brand-New, Groundbreaking Stitch Patterns
by Lynne Barr
On This Page
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 show more 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. show lessTags

Hmmmm, an interesting book with a lot of unusual things to ponder. Some of the stitches are amazing. Some are just awful. Likewise the patterns. A few I would knit. And most I wouldn't. A typical knitting book methinks in that regard.
Great techniques for reversible knits.
