Knittingnotecards is our winner!
I’m a sucker for a good stitch dictionary, and I have more than my share, which is one of the reasons I’m giving this one away this week.
750 Knitting Stitches is almost a coffee table book of a knitting stitch guide, being hardcover with lots of colorful pictures.
But it isn’t just pretty; it also has lots of good patterns for basic knit and purl, cables, lace, colorwork and borders. It’s sure to inspire you to try some new stitch patterns, whether you strike out on your own to knit a scarf, add a colorwork design to the edge of a sweater or go all out and make a completely unique project.
If you’d like a chance to win a copy of this book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, September 6. U.S. residents only on this one, please, because it’s really heavy!
I’d love to know what genre of knitting stitches is your favorite: basic knit and purl, lace, cables, colorwork or something else? I think basic knit and purl offers some of my favorites because I love easy texture, but I’ve been getting into lace a little bit lately, too.
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

I think cables are my favorite, but I’ve been knitting a lot of lace this summer. It’s kind of a toss-up right now.

I’mmostly the type of knitter who picks up yarn and needles without knowing what the end result will be. I’II knit from patterns sometimes, but almost always make major modifications. I enjoy most types of stitch patterns, and everything has it’s place, though I’ll admit any kind of complicated lace gets less attention. As I get more and more into designing with forethought, as opposed to simply picking up the sticks and hoping my good intentions carry the day, I’d love a great reference book like this. Thanks for this and all the great giveaways.
knittingdancer says
I like both lace and cable stitches. Cable stitches looks more complicated than they are to knit.
Linda says
Enjoy knitting lace. Would like to try double knitting.
Patty Manders says
So very bewitching thinking of all those stitches–something worthy of taking to a secluded desert island. I would love to learn more mysterious mosaic stitches!

I’ve heard that this is a wonderful book. I like the basic knit and purl designs.
Katelyn M says
Thanks for the chance to win. I typically stick with knit and purl stitches but mostly because I don’t know much more than that right now. I am trying to learn new things and hope that I am not butting off more than I can chew by trying to start lace work.
Darla says
This book would be a great resource. I’ve learned to make plain vanilla socks and a few ribbed hats. I’m ready to expand my stitches.

I love all types of knitting, especially trying new things. Would love to have this book to add to my knitting library.

I like colorwork. Simples stitches done in different colors make the piece look harder than it is.
Theresa says
I am a beginner knitter so I only know the basic knit and purl stitches. Would love to learn other stitches. Thanks for the chance to win a great book.
Jeane Howell says
I like simple color work. Various colors make a huge difference. Double pointed needles and cables both scare me, but I hope to get my courage up and try them. Thank you for having the drawing. One can never have too many books of stitches.
annehaun says
I am a beginner so this book is one I really need. I tend to stick with the basic knit and purl stitch so it is time to broaden my horizon.

Lace is a favorite. I love how a knitted blob of increases and decreases turns into a beautiful work of art after blocking. It always amazes me.

I’m loving lace these days. I particularly like to see what I’ve got when I finally block the piece and the pattern really emerges. This looks like a great reference book that will help me expand my repertoire.

G.K. Green says
I never met a stitch dictionary I didn’t like! From Barbara Walker’s four treasuries to Mon Tricot and on to the German and Japanese exotica (to me, at least) … I have enjoyed them all. Right now, my favorite type of stitch is the twisted stitch … After working with KP textures and cables and lace, twisted stitches seem like a fun break from everything else! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Sheila says
I love them all, but when the weather starts turning chilly, I start craving cables.
Deanna says
I am liking lace stitches lately.
Patti says
I’ve never seen a stitch I don’t like and am always looking for new ones. Depending on the project, the linen stitch and moss stitch are some of my faves along with cables, of all kinds.
