Giveaway: 750 Knitting Stitches

August 31, 2015 by Sarah White

750 knitting stitches

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.

    I like both lace and cable stitches. Cable stitches looks more complicated than they are to knit.

    Enjoy knitting lace. Would like to try double knitting.

    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.

  7. Katelyn M says

    September 1, 2015 at 4:23 pm

    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.

  8. 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 would love to win this as I would like to learn to do more stitches. I knit mostly knit & purl stitches. Thanks for the opportunity to win this wonderful book.

    Love doing cables! Would love to learn lace knitting techniques at some point. Would Love, LOVE LOVE to have this book, please!

    With five grandsons, I’ve always been basic knit and purl, but we have a baby granddaughter now. Bring on the lace!

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

  15. MelodyJ says

    September 1, 2015 at 6:31 pm

    I like colorwork. Simples stitches done in different colors make the piece look harder than it is.

  16. Theresa says

    September 1, 2015 at 6:33 pm

    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.

  17. Jeane Howell says

    September 1, 2015 at 6:53 pm

    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.

  18. annehaun says

    September 1, 2015 at 7:15 pm

    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.

  19. stacia says

    September 1, 2015 at 8:09 pm

    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.

  20. Dennis Mullins Sr says

    September 1, 2015 at 8:54 pm

    I am learning so basic is best for me now but I am willing to try any thing. I love learning it makes me happy. Thanks for the giveaway.

  21. Page Carlyon says

    September 1, 2015 at 9:22 pm

    I love to try new stitches and patterns when I knit. This would be awesome for learning more.

  22. Deb Kegelmeyer says

    September 1, 2015 at 9:26 pm

    I’m into cables or really any way to create texture. I love using things like twisted stitches too

  23. Carolyn Morrissey says

    September 1, 2015 at 10:14 pm

    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.

  24. Betty says

    September 1, 2015 at 10:29 pm

    I’ve been doingvstranded knitting all summer. That’s my current favorite.

  25. Daffyjo says

    September 1, 2015 at 11:07 pm

    I like all kinds of knitting, but I think lace and socks are my favorite 🙂

  26. Heidi Kirsch says

    September 1, 2015 at 11:43 pm

    Lace is certainly my overall favorite. But its so nice to discover a yarn and find out what it wants.

  27. Regina says

    I usually do dishcloths and shawls and incorporate beads into the shawls. I give the dishcloths away at Christmas to relatives in packs of 3 with a card.

    September 2, 2015 at 2:22 am

    I love all knitting. Love a challenge. Love lace. Love the double knitting.
    I would love this book for reference. Love to learn as many as I can.

  29. Carolyn S Cecil says

    September 2, 2015 at 9:26 am

    Basic knit and purl are my favorite, however, I use a variety of stitches.

  30. Denyalle says

    September 2, 2015 at 9:32 am

    I love the end look of lace, especially on socks.

  31. reflectionsandramblings says

    September 2, 2015 at 9:37 am

    My favorite is knit and purl. I’m still a relatively new knitter and remain fascinated by the variety of looks that can be made with these two basic stitches!

  32. Gizala says

    September 2, 2015 at 9:59 am

    One can never have too many knitting books!

  33. Lee Ann says

    September 2, 2015 at 10:16 am

  34. Jami says

    September 2, 2015 at 10:42 am

    I like variations of knit and purl stitches, trying some lace and slip stitches. Looks like a wonderful book.

  35. Jill Greenawalt says

    September 2, 2015 at 10:59 am

    Cables. Cables. Cables!

  38. Linda says

    September 3, 2015 at 6:08 pm

    It’s pretty amazing how much one can create by just knowing how to knit and purl. That being said… I love learning new stitches, lace and cables. Thanks for the chance to win!

  39. yarnaddicted says

    September 4, 2015 at 12:40 am

    The basic knit and purl are my favorites, but I keep trying to do cable stitches!!

  40. Barbara Young says

    September 4, 2015 at 1:47 am

    I’ve always done basic knit and purl, but now I working on more cables and lace knitting. I’m working on stretching my knitting abilities. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  41. G.K. Green says

    September 4, 2015 at 7:19 am

    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!

  42. Sheila says

    September 5, 2015 at 1:04 am

    I love them all, but when the weather starts turning chilly, I start craving cables.

  43. Deanna says

    September 5, 2015 at 10:08 pm

    I am liking lace stitches lately.

  44. Patti says

    September 6, 2015 at 3:32 pm

    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.

  45. Elle T. says

    September 8, 2015 at 7:39 pm

    I’m only comfortable with the basics so far but I’ve had fun with some simple laces, too. 🙂

    I would love to win this book for my daughter who knits so she can learn lots of new stitches for those baby blankets she needs to get moving on!

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
