"Reversible Knitting" is a compendium of 50 totally new reversible stitch patterns (for 100 different looks), plus 21 reversible projects designed by the author as well as 12 additional top knitwear designers, including Veronik Avery, Norah Gaughan, Teva Durham (all STC authors), Pam Allen, Wenlan Chia, Cat Bordhi, Debbie New and Lily Chin. Most of the stitch dictionaries on knitters' shelves are remixes of familiar stitch patterns already published elsewhere. Not so for Lynne Barr's groundbreaking book "Reversible Knitting". Not only is every one of the 50 stitch patterns completely new and never before seen, but each is also reversible - for a total of 100 different looks! Reversible stitch patterns can be used to create projects where either side can be worn facing outward, or where two sides of the piece are visible simultaneously (such as a scarf or a garment with collar or cuffs that can be worn up or down). In addition to stitch patterns, the book features 20 such projects - from accessories like scarves, hats and socks to sweaters and dresses - designed by the author and by 12 top knitwear designers including STC authors Veronik Avery, Norah Gaughan and Teva Durham. Rounding out the book are in-depth instructions for the specialised techniques required for reversible work.

Format:Hardcover
This book has several very innovative patterns including a sweater that can be worn upside down! The book is in 2 sections: stitch patterns and garments. The stitch section shows both sides of the stitches, and the garment section has some very unusual ideas. I think this book is well worth adding to any library.

Format:Hardcover
Although this is an American book the yarns are easily substituted. Lots of stitch patterns that I've never seen before to try and some trendy and unusual patterns - definitely not for the twinset brigade! Needs some patience and experience to follow the instructions but the results are well worth it.

Beautiful to look at, a challenge to try.
The cover knit is what drew my eye.
Practical, versatile and stylish.
Very more-ish.

not up to expectations
This book is a glorified knitting pattern. I had hoped to learn some new stitch patterns but they were few. Very dumbed down.
