Reversible Knitting – Cecilia Campochiaro

 

Reversible Knitting is a comprehensive guide to creating reversible stitch patterns in hand knitting, resulting in a fabric with identical sides. The book features over 300 stitch patterns and informative tips for working with reversible fabrics. It is the follow-up to Cecilia’s first book, Sequence Knitting, which explores the technique of repeating a fixed sequence of stitches to create textured reversible fabrics. Each stitch pattern in the book is accompanied by both a chart and row-by-row written instructions, making it easy to adapt the patterns for working in the round. Designed to be a handy “handbook,” the book has a sewn binding, a lightweight paperback cover, and a jacket that doubles as a bookmark, allowing for easy portability on vacations and knitting projects on the go.

 

Some special highlights beyond the usual stitch dictionary include:

• A collection of reversible selvedges
• A comprehensive look at one-row patterns
• How to make a reversible basketweave
• Incredible, deeply textured slip-stitch patterns
• An in-depth look at reversible mock cables and true cable
