The ultimate sourcebook of knitting and crochet stitches

by Reader's Digest Association

'The Harmony Guides' are the by-word for knitters wanting to understand a complex instruction or master a particular stitch. For years these indispensable guides have been used by needlecrafters to decipher badly written knitting patterns or clarify tricky technical crochet stitches. Two concepts are at the heart of this beautifully produced book: instant access for the needlecrafter who needs to find what she wants quickly and comprehensiveness. A graphic tab device allows ease of access, and the stitches are organised by texture. Each stitch is explained with diagrams and written instructions. Here are over 900 stitches – enough to last a lifetime. 'Harmony Guides' have been internationally recognised as the definitive reference works in the area for 15 years. Gathered together in one hardback volume for the first time a few years ago, now all that information is also available in paperback.
