AlterKnit Stitch Dictionary – 200 Modern Knitting Motifs
Break the rules and ignite your creativity with this must-have colourwork resource by Andrea Rangel. AlterKnit Stitch Dictionary offers 200 fresh, non-traditional stranded colourwork charts that are ideal for knitters wanting to go beyond classic Fair Isle and pattern books.
From graphic-inspired motifs like geometric mountains, waves and spirals, to quirky icons such as modern bikes, skulls and sheep, this dictionary brings a contemporary flair to your knitting projects and helps spark new design ideas.
Alongside the charts, you’ll find practical guidance on reading colourwork charts, working floats, choosing harmonious colours and combining motifs — giving you confidence to experiment and customise your knits.
Plus, five original patterns (including mitts, cowls and sweaters) show you how to put these designs into practice and inspire you to make them your own.
A brilliant source of inspiration for adventurous knitters and colourwork fans alike!
