Reversible Knitting

A Handbook and Stitch Dictionary

Cecelia Campchiaro

Description

Reversible Knitting takes a fresh look at reversible stitch patterns for hand knitting. By reversible, Cecelia Campchiaro means both sides of the fabric look the same.

The book includes a stitch dictionary with over 300 stitch patterns and extensive general information about working reversible fabrics. It has eight chapters:

  • Chapter 1 Fundamentals looks at the essential elements of reversible knitting: the structure of reversible fabric and how the stitch patterns that produce it are developed.
  • Chapter 2 Building Blocks explores the one-row stitch patterns that are the foundation of reversible knitting.
  • Chapter 3 Modifiers investigates the two most powerful modifications that can be brought to reversible stitch patterns: fine-striping and slip stitches.
  • Chapter 4 Allover Knit – Purl Patterns expands the building blocks of one-row patterns with broken versions, doublets, damasks, welts, checkerboards, diagonals, and zigzags.
  • Chapter 5 Slip Stitches examines three categories of slip stitch patterns: wovens, grid patterns, and honeycombs.
  • Chapter 6 Openwork, is all about patterns with holes: meshes, garter lace, lace ribs, and allover lace patterns.
  • Chapter 7 Cables includes mock cables, open mock cables, and true cables.
  • Chapter 8 Deliberate Distortions collects patterns that use spaced increases and decreases to create movement in the fabric: chevrons, push-pull patterns, and egg carton patterns.
