Reversible Knitting

Description:

Reversible Knitting takes a fresh look at reversible stitch patterns for hand knitting. By reversible, we mean both sides of the fabric look the same. Reversible Knitting includes a stitch dictionary with over 300 stitch patterns and extensive general information about working reversible fabrics. It has eight chapters: Chapter 1, Fundamentals, looks at the essential elements of reversible knitting: the structure of reversible fabric and how the stitch patterns that produce it are developed. Chapter 2, Building Blocks, explores the one-row stitch patterns that are the foundation of reversible knitting. Chapter 3, Modifiers, investigates the two most powerful modifications that can be brought to reversible stitch patterns: fine-striping and slip stitches. Chapter 4, Allover Knit–Purl Patterns, expands the building blocks of one-row patterns with broken versions, doublets, damasks, welts, checkerboards, diagonals, and zigzags. Chapter 5, Slip Stitches, examines three categories of slip stitch patterns: wovens, grid patterns, and honeycombs. Chapter 6, Openwork, is all about patterns with holes: meshes, garter lace, lace ribs, and allover lace patterns. Chapter 7, Cables, includes mock cables, open mock cables, and true cables. Chapter 8, Deliberate Distortions, collects patterns that use spaced increases and decreases to create movement in the fabric: chevrons, push-pull patterns, and egg carton patterns.

About the Author

Cecelia Campochiaro appeared on the knitting scene in 2015 with her debut book, Sequence Knitting. Knitting was a casual pastime until she had an ah-ha moment in 2010 and realized that interesting textured fabrics could be created by the simple repetition of a sequence of stitches. This idea evolved and led to her writing Sequence Knitting, which is a reference book about this mindful approach to knitting. In 2020 Cecelia released Making Marls. Making marls, the act of working multiple strands together as one, is an old technique, but has rarely been written about as an important technique in handknitting. By holding yarns of different colors or textures together while knitting, knitters can create their own yarn and color combinations to create endless possibilities. Reversible Knitting is Cecelia’s latest book and began as a sequel to Sequence Knitting. In this book she tackles how to create a wide range of patterns that look the same on both sides. While there are other books that have been published on this subject, none are as comprehensive. Cecelia lives in Silicon Valley, where for many years she developed specialized microscopes used in computer chip manufacturing. Textiles, photography and the arts have been a lifelong passion running in parallel with her technical life. In high school and college even though her main studies were in the sciences, she studied drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and photography. Today she is fully dedicated to the fiber world and “unventing” new ways to make amazing knit fabrics.

Great instructions for reversible knitting with plenty of practice stitches

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, clear, inspiring

This is my second book by this author and she’s one of the smartest knitters on earth. Lots of technical information and creative inspiration. What’s great about this book is you can use it as a stitch dictionary, but it also has incredibly detailed information on how these stitch patterns work and how to design your own reversible stitch patterns.If you like to nerd out on how knitting works, this is a fantastic book for you.

All three of her books are wonderful, not least this one. Another for the collection of the thinking knitter, along with Elizabeth Zimmermann, Barbara G. Walker and a few extra-special others.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected

I am a knitter who owns and treasures Cecelia's first two books, Sequence Knitting and Making Marls. I found the current book to be a disappointment, not so much for the content, but because of the physical publication itself. As with Cecelia's first 2 books, this one is packed with a wealth of technical and well-organized content; however, the physical publication is lacking in several respects when compared to the first 2 books, my copies of which are hardbound; this book doesn't look like it's in any way related to the other 2. Reversible Knitting is softbound with a cover having a rubberized coating, which feels icky/sticky to touch as well as being a dust and fingerprint magnet, which is probably why the book ships with a protective cellophane wrapping. If the rubbery outer paper cover is removed, the inner book itself it similarly coated. Most of the content is black and white or grayscale, including most of the photos, all of which are of knit swatches. The typeface used is very small, very light and difficult to read. There are a few photos of swatches in color, but some are shown on a medium gray background that provides little contrast with the photo itself. Finally, I was disappointed not to find any inspirational garments or other knitted objects suggesting how to make use of the reversible stitch patterns.
