Varje mönster har en färgbild på det färdiga resultatet, en skriven instruktion och ett diagram. Ett praktiskt utvikningsblad innehåller alla vanliga stickförkortningar som används i boken. Varje kapi­tel inleds med basmönster för nybörjare och avslutas med mer avancerade tekniker. Sist i boken finns några uppslag med idéer och tydlig stickskola.

Denna inspirerande handbok innehåller mönster du inte hittar i någon annan bok.

Expand your knit and crochet repertoire with this delightful menagerie of miniature bugs and beasts: from creepy crawlies and weird wrigglers to beautiful butterflies and splendid metallic dragonflies. Use them to decorate your clothes and accessories, to give as gifts — or to decorate your gift wrap and greeting cards — and to collect as a creative display piece.

Choose from winged insects and flying fancies, hanging horrors, cute ladybirds and perfect honeybees, tropical terrors and garden favourites. Each critter is cross-referenced to a complete pattern or chart at the back of the book, with information on stuffing, finishing and yarn requirements. There are also helpful hints on creating iridescence and translucent wings. The books also includes leaves, flowers, shells and other elements from the natural world.

This is a creative guide to the 300 knitting stitches you really need to know, including contemporary stitches and timeless classics.

An invaluable resource of original stitch patterns, this collection is suitable for newcomers, designers and knitters of all abilities. Instead of being merely a round-up of familiar stitches, this is a visual feast of new material put together by expert author-designers Lesley Stanfield and Melody Griffiths, with a wide experience of hand knitting. It is a must-have addition to existing reference books on the subject.

The stitches are organized into knit and purl, textures and ribs, twist stitches, cables, lace, bobbles and bells, colour and intarsia designs, and unusual techniques including rarities like entrelac, double-sided fabric and mosaic effects. Clear and simple charts are provided with each pattern throughout the book.

This is a reissue of the previously published book.
