Your favorite knitting guide just got a facelift! The new expanded Knitter’s Companion features all the original best-loved, most-used techniques from The Knitter’s Companion—that handy reference guide chock-full of techniques, illustrations, and definitions—but with a bevy of new features that any knitter will surely find indispensable.

You’ll find the overview of stitches, gauges, joins, seams, borders, and buttonholes all freshened up with new color drawings that describe the detail of each technique, and new photographs that show the finished look.

Innovative methods have been added, too, including additional ways to cast on, bind off, and increase stitches. Also included is an expanded section on color knitting techniques, as well as some favorite details such as tassels, fringe, knitting with beads, and more. You'll find helpful tips sprinkled throughout to help you achieve the best results possible. The physical format of the book has been enhanced with a hardbound format with concealed wire-o for easy access to information, and the must-have needle gauge is still featured in the back.

All the information knitters enjoy is right at their fingertips with The Knitter's Companion—an indispensable addition to any knitter's bag of tricks.

More than 350 options for caps, tams, scarves, vests, sweaters, mittens, gloves, and socks will satisfy your need for basic projects in multiple sizes and all weights of yarn from chunky to fingering. You'll have the information you need to make the most popular garments, no matter what yarn, gauge, or size.

Both a pattern book and a reference book, The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns has been created for knitters who want standard sweater patterns in a variety of sizes and gauges, as well as those who want a template from which to develop their own design ideas.

This sequel to the phenomenal bestseller The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns, presents easy-to-follow charted instructions for eighteen sweaters, three in each of the six most popular sweater constructions: drop shoulder, modified drop shoulder, set-in sleeve, saddle shoulder, raglan, and seamless yoke. Each style is provided in fifteen sizes (in two-inch graduations) from a 26-inch chest circumference for a two-year-old child to a 54-inch chest circumference for a large adult. Each size is further divided into six possible gauges: 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 stitches per inch. If you're counting, that's 75 options for each of the six styles, or 450 patterns in all (all with yarn yardage estimates). Add the cardigan and neckline variations, and you've got more than 1,000 patterns! Even more variations are possible by adding different neck finishes, edgings, waist shapings, and color or stitch patterns.

Detailed diagrams for finished dimensions are included, along with a glossary of techniques and a chapter on design considerations. If knitting sweaters is your passion, look no further-this book is your definitive resource.

This leaflet contains yarn yardage requirements for eight of the most popular knitted items: sweaters, vests, mittens, gloves, socks, scarves, tams, and hats. Based on the projects in The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns, the yardages are for sizes ranging from baby or toddler to large adult, and for multiple gauges appropriate for fine to bulky yarns. Keep this guide handy for those times when you just might buy yarn—always!
