Some of these books contain also several garment or accessory patterns and basic knowledge of the related topic and are thus a great source of inspiration for beginner-level knitters as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have created for you a list of 9 knitting stitch dictionaries that in my opinion are very inspiring and contain plenty of interesting knitting stitches. I have included books for cables, lace and stranded colorwork but also for brioche and slip-stitch knitting. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3aYSBfR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">If you are looking for a book that covers a wide range of basic stitches I recommend you to take a look at the book 400 Knitting Stitches: A Complete Dictionary of Essential Stitch Patterns.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"4608\" class=\"elementor elementor-4608\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2e95fbce elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2e95fbce\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3796a110\" data-id=\"3796a110\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78c7d413 elementor-align-left elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"78c7d413\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/www.knitgrammer.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor\/assets\/css\/widget-icon-list.min.css\">\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fi.pinterest.com\/pin\/419257046565760071\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Save this article to your Pinterest board<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

It contains the stitch charts (no written versions) and a few accessory patterns as well as instructions for knitting the stitches but not much more.
