How many knitting pattern books do you need? Well...
21 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
There were three Walker treasuries and now there are four. This book includes the previously-published "Sampler Knitting" and in addition, 82 stitch patterns never published before. Most of these are complicated all-over texture and lace, but there is an attractive textured teddy bear and a lace stitch that looks like a butterfly. The sampler has a lot of intricate cables. Fun for afghans.
While there are many stitch pattern "dictionaries", the Walker series is very large and comprehensive. Knitters who like to design their own knit patterns will appreciate the new material. If you only knit from printed patterns, it's fun to take a standard pattern like a sock cuff and add lace or textured stitches and create something completely new. This is a nice addition to the previous trilogy of Walker stitch patterns and a welcome addition for the avid knitter who likes to design.

Fourth Treasury of Knitting Patterns
6 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This fourth book in the series was a disappointment. There were some patterns from the previous "Treasuries" and the new patterns seemed to me to be leftovers and not very interesting. I returned the book.

Knitting from charts - not for everyone
8 July 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved Barbara Walker's volumes I and II Treasury of Knitting Patterns, but I was a little disappointed in the Fourth Treasury of Knitting Patterns. Most of the patterns are worked from charts which are hard for me to see and follow. I think inexperienced knitters would be intimidated by the charts and symbols used to indicate different stitches. Some of the patterns I recognized from her two previous volumes with perhaps a slight variation here and there. My recommendation is to stick with her first two volumes of knitting patterns and pass this one by.
