5.0 out of 5 stars
basic stitch book,
By
This review is from: Traditional Knitting Patterns: from Scandinavia, the British Isles, France, Italy and Other European Countries (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
Definitely an important stitch collection book. Should be on every serious knitter's bookshelf; I've owned it for years. Chapters organized by country: Arabic, Spanish, Italian and French, German and Austrian, Dutch, Scandinavian, Fair isle and Shetland, British Isles, and Fishermen's sweaters. Most patterns are written out but charts where more helpful. b&w photos for all stitches.

This book is not for beginners or casual knitters, but if you're interested in ethnic design and the history of knitting, it is a useful reference. The written instructions are not to current standard, but are accurate; the charts can be easier to follow for experienced knitters.

Very good book, I'm really glad I got this one,

This review is from: Traditional Knitting Patterns: from Scandinavia, the British Isles, France, Italy and Other European Countries (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
This is one of the books that I was really glad I made the purchase. I liked the fact that it had written instructions for the several stitches. I think it saves time than having the stitches in charts and having to memorise symbols etc. But like the other reviewer said it has charts where it is needed that is for designs that have colorwork. All in all a very nice book
