Product Description
Beloved knitwear designer Connie Chang Chinchio presents for the first time a complete collection of twenty brand-new designs.Knitters know Connie Chang Chinchio’s wildly popular patterns from Knitscene and Interweave Knits and will be clamoring for this book of original projects. Textured Stitches brings her trademark combination of simple knitting with lovely patterned stitches to flattering, wearable garments and accessories. The patterns are fun to knit, mixing quick and easy stockinette stitch with more involved stitch patterns like lattice, knitted pleats, cables, twisted stitches, and ribbing. The textured stitches help create a tailored fit, while classic stockinette lends drape and polished finish. Knitters will also learn how textured stitches affect gauge, how yarn choices influence the look of patterned stitches, shaping, and special cast-on and bind-off techniques.The result is a wardrobe full of stylish and smart sweaters, tanks, tees, and accessories that you’ll love to make and wear.
Customer Reviews
Textured Stitches by Connie Chang Chinchio is one of those knitting books that I'm so glad I bought. It is filled with remarkably beautiful patterns, many I can even use in Florida. The warmer patterns I can knit for friends in Alaska and mail them off as gifts. I love the variety and diversity in this book.The Professoressa Cardigan is knit in a boysenberry colorway in a light Alpaca. It has texture down the front of the cardigan and is knit with sportweight yarn.The Lustro Cardigan has texture around the top part of the sweater and is cabled. It is knit in a soft blue colorway utilizing silk and wool yarn.The MIele Hat and Mittens are textured and ribbed throughout. Knit in a fingering weight yarn, it, too, is in a soft blue.The Gems Hoodie is knit in a rich blue with texture towards the top of the sweater. Sportweight yarn is called for.The Anna Maria Cardigan is one of my favorites in the book. Knit in a rich red, it is textured all down the front around the buttonholes and plackets and around the neck. It utilizes merino and cashmere yarn, a delight against the skin.The Tulip Henley is a lovely pullover in a soft red using a cotton and linen yarn with buttons on the top and texture around the button portion of the sweater.The Intagliata Henley is the sweater on the cover and it is spectacular with texture towards the top of the sweater and a lovely collar. It is knit in a golden hue with super fine sock yarn.There are many, many patterns I want to knit from this book. As always, I ask myself three questions about this knitting book:Will I knit the Patterns?Are the patterns easy to read?Will the book be a good resource.The answer to all three questions is a resounding 'yes'. Additionally, the sizing goes from petite to very large, covering a wide array of sizing for almost all women. This is a book well worth investing in. Thank you Ms. Chinchio and Interweave Press.
