The Stitch Collection: A Box of Portable Guides to Knit Stitches by Debbie O'Neill

Published 2010

Portable and versatile, this attractive boxed set of five lightweight stitch guides—each devoted to a different type of stitch—is perfect for knitters on the go.

Altogether, these small but very thorough books cover more than 200 stitches, with individual manuals for knit and purl; cables; lace; ribbing; and specialty. Each one features a brief introduction; a concise section on choosing the appropriate stitch pattern; information on each type of stitch; abbreviations; needle size chart; and yarn weight chart.Unlike heavier and more unwieldy books, these sleek volumes are just right for tossing in the knitting bag—and the most eminently practical knitter’s helper on the market.
