Good & Interesting Knitting Stitch Dictionary
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...

beautiful pictures, lots of errors
happened to be excited when I got this, but as I dove into many patterns, a row would be missing, a typo would be in a "row"......I wrote wanting the corrections and they said they didn't supply them. Forced me to spend a LOT of time on the web trying to find the RIGHT instrux for many patterns in the book.

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.

Love this book. Has so many stitch patterns it's hard to decide
what to knit next. The book arrived in excellent condition (no dents or tears).

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!
