Twisted-Stitch Knitting contains 174 different stitch patterns for twisted cable motifs. Maria Erlbacher translated a trio of classic Austrian stitch dictionaries, called Überlieferte Strickmuster, into English to create this guide. Each stitch pattern is charted, and there are very helpful tutorials to explain techniques and symbols unique to knitting in Austria. Additionally, there are beautiful patterns for textured knee high stockings with calf shaping, and heavily cabled jackets, cardigans, and vests. 174 stitch patterns—204 pages  | Softcover Retail: $28.00 Item No. 31278
