With 142 different stitches, from the basic stockinette to openwork embroidery, and beautiful items to knit as well, this comprehensive guide is the knitter’s bible. It offers a virtual treasure chest of possibilities, all illustrated with diagrams and explained in easy-to-follow detail: classics such as the seaside chain, rung ladder, diamond, and staggered squares; dozens of cross-stitch variations; several kinds of slip stitches; two-color stitches, including creative reliefs and daisy patterns; jacquard; and more. Beginners can use the directions to learn the fundamentals and master this popular craft; more experienced knitters will pore over the pages for fresh ideas that will take their work to new creative levels. It’s a must-have for anyone who owns a set of knitting needles.

Good & Interesting Knitting Stitch Dictionary,
By Book Fan (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Book of Knitting Stitch Patterns (Hardcover)
This is a good knitting stitch dictionary, but if you are just starting out, look for the Barbara Walker dictionaries which are the classic foundations of the field, to see if you would like them as well or instead. A few notes:- The description is wrong, it has 550 stitch patterns, not 142 as stated in the editorial description. - As of this moment that I am writing, this same book is available in a miuch cheaper printing in the US, see ISBN 1402727631 (or search for the same title). Every pattern has a large finely detailed swatch photo, text instructions, and charted instructions, with a chart symbol list with each pattern. It is a translation of an Italian dictionary, so at times the terminology is not quite what would be used in the US. Also it could stand a decent index.

I have an older version (1960's) of a similar type book, but, oddly enough, I like this one better. The directions are clearer and, thank heavens, the pics are in color!
