Field Guide to Knitting is the answer-a handy go-to reference book for a quick answer (is moss stitch the same as seed stitch, or not?) or for picking a design for your next sweater (flip through the full-colour section and take a look at examples of each stitch). Each stitch pattern will also include the history of the stitch, the best stitch gauge for getting pattern definition (fingering, sport, DK), the pieces the pattern works best in (scarves, sweaters, hats), and more. Learn to identify mistake-stitch rib, feathers and fan, brioche - and then recreate them yourself! Featuring simple stitch patterns using only knits and purls as well as complicated lace and cables, Field Guide to Knitting will be a valuable resource for everyone from novices to master knitters.
