A stitch pattern dictionary is a must-have for every knitter's bookshelf. A collection of stitch combinations--everything from basic knit-and-purl stitches to more complex cables, lace, and colorwork--enables knitters to create their own designs or modify existing patterns with ease. The content is timeless (unlike a book that contains patterns for garments), so this hardcover book will have a long shelf life and has the potential to be a solid backlist performer for years to come.
