Most knitted fabric has a right side and a wrong side, and you spend half your time checking which one is facing out. Reversible Knitting is built around the idea that it does not have to be that way. It is a stitch dictionary of over 300 patterns that look the same on both sides of the fabric, so scarves, cowls, blankets and anything else that gets seen from both angles can simply look finished, whichever way it falls.

Written by Cecelia Campochiaro, the follow up to her first book Sequence Knitting, and published by Schoolhouse Press. Every pattern comes with a chart and row by row written instructions, and while the patterns are set out for flat knitting, there are notes throughout on adapting them to work in the round as well.

What is inside

Reversible selvedges, so your edges look as good as the fabric itself. One row patterns, for quick texture with very little counting. Reversible basketweave and textured slip stitch patterns. Reversible mock cables and true cables, which is the section most knitters reach for first.

The book itself is a softcover with a sewn binding that lies flat while you work, and the dust jacket doubles as a bookmark, a nice touch for a reference book you will keep coming back to mid project.

Perfect for

Knitters working on scarves, cowls, blankets, and anything else without a clear wrong side. Anyone who already enjoys a stitch dictionary and wants one with a sharper focus. And knitters who have hit the limits of garter and moss stitch and want more reversible texture to choose from.

A reference book that earns its place on the shelf, and one you will likely keep flicking back to long after your first project from it is finished.
