Stitch Dictionary Two - Preview

In just a few days The Loom Knitter's Stitch Dictionary Volume Two will be published. Here is a preview of the book:

From the introduction to Volume Two:
"This volume has many new stitch patterns. There are chapters for cables, twisted stitches, mosaic and textured patterns, as well more brioche, ribbings, lace and slip stitch patterns. As before, all patterns are written with step-by-step directions using loom knitting terminology, for both flat panel and in the round loom knitting.
       In addition to the written directions and photos, Volume Two includes pattern charts for all of the new stitch patterns. The charts are large images, each one with its own individual stitch key, using loom knitting terms.
       Volume Two also includes the Basic Stitch Pattern chapter from the original dictionary, so it will stand alone as well as a companion to Volume One.
       Finally, two new full patterns are included. The All Stitched Up Wrap, a wonderfully textured wrap that buttons into a number of different designs, and DIY All Stitched Up Wrap, a step-by-step guide for designing your own wrap using the patterns in this book."

Volume Two is 191 pages, using a 20 point large print font. The All Stitched Up Wrap and DIY All Stitched Up Wrap are in a separate file with 29 pages in 24 point large print wrap. As always, the book and pattern are screen reader, e-reader and tablet friendly.

1. Basic Stitch Patterns (reprinted from Volume One)
