Knitting a distinctively personal sweater or outfit or creating an unusual afghan or shawl is easy once you know how to combine stitches to create exactly the pattern you want. *The Vogue Dictionary of Knitting Stitches* provides a wealth of knitting stitches and patterns for those who want to add stitch and pattern interest to a simple design or for those designing their own knitting patterns. Containing more than 450 illustrations in full color, the book starts with the basic stitches needed for simple designs and then, section by section, goes on to offer a fascinating variety of both traditional and modern patterns including ribs, textures, cables, Aran, openwork, and lace stitches together with Fair Isle borders, motifs, and other forms of multi-color knitting. The chapter on techniques explains the various ways of casting on and off, how to increase and decrease for shaping, the best way to make up the finished garment, how to make neater buttonholes and covered buttons, in fact, everything the knitter needs for a truly professional finished garment. The dictionary ends with a useful list of knitting terms in foreign languages to enable the knitter to understand and use patterns from many different countries. *[from the back cover]*
