I love books of knitting stitches. I have quite a number of them now and regularly look through them all. I purchased the first of these when we were living in Japan a few years ago and it's still one of my favourites. This features large photos of the stitches, clear stitch charts and extra project photos scattered throughout the book, including inspiring jackets, cardigans and sweaters.
So when Anna and I decided to publish a book about Reversible Knitting Stitches, that was our starting point – to really explore every stitch and to add a good number of project photos too. In short, we wanted this to be not just a stitch book but instead a reference sourcebook on reversible knitting.

In short, we wanted this to be not just a stitch book but instead a reference sourcebook on reversible knitting.
So here's the very first stitch in our brand-new E-book, Reversible Knitting Stitches!
This is Seed Stitch and it rightfully takes the first place in our new book as it has always been one of my favourites. It is such a neat and precise stitch forming into a wonderfully regular dotted pattern. It adds stability when used as a border, but is also a strong stitch in its own right so can be used for bags, placemats and other items.

The example page above shows the format that we have used throughout the book, with:
- a difficulty symbol to show if this is a good stitch for a beginner or a more experienced knitter,
- photographs of both the front and the back of the stitch, and
- stitch charts together with full line‐by‐line instructions, so you can choose which you prefer.
We have also added suggestions for using each stitch. It is, after all, almost impossible to tell from a photograph whether a stitch would make a cozy baby blanket, or if it would be better‐suited as a firm teapot stand. So every stitch includes a number of project suggestions.
To help illustrate these qualities, we have included photos of more than 80 different projects through the book to show actual examples of the stitch in use. For example, in Anna's lovely Baby Blue Sweater above, she has used Seed Stitch as a pretty trim for the cuffs, neckline and lower edge.

 | The book is formatted so you can read it on your computer, iPad, tablet or phone and of course you can pinch and zoom the display to really look at the details clearly. This is great for anyone preferring larger print, of course, as you can enlarge the page to check on any specific information. |
I hope you all enjoy this brand-new book and that it will give you lots of inspiration for your future projects!
