THE ART OF SLIP-STITCH KNITTING is another fine Interweave Press book that is worthy of a space on your technical knitting book reference shelf. I always think of slip-stitch knitting as an easy way to add color to knitted fabric (e.g., the patterned sweater in the cover photo). However, this book takes the technique a step further, by explaining in detail how to use slip stitches to create texture, shape garments, and finish edges, as well as how to design with slip stitches. This book is also a valuable stitch treasury, with many interesting patterns for traditional, woven, fancy, and reversible slip-stitch patterns. (My photos show a gorgeous woven stitch, a fancy stitch, a reversible stitch, and a traditional wave stitch.)Slip stitches are simple in concept, because they only require slipping a stitch from one needle to the other without knitting it, and then knitting the slipped stitch on a later row. The book's contents are as follows: Chapter 1, All About Slip-Stitch Knitting, includes in-depth technical discussion of how slip stitches are formed and oriented to achieve different patterns and effects. Chapter 2, Traditional Slip-Stitch Patterns, includes a stitch dictionary followed by patterns for four garments (Svitani pullover, Bordo shawl, Cekanka jacket, Kromka hoodie). Chapter 3, Woven Slip-Stitch Patterns, has a dictionary and four project patterns (Gobelen bag, Mak cardigan, Spiral hat, Volna scarf). Chapter 4, Fancy Slip-Stitch Patterns, has a dictionary and four projects (Nebo pullover, Kava vest, Zlaty Dest cowl, Koketa sweater). Chapter 5, Reversible Slip-Stitch Patterns, has a dictionary and four projects (Jetelinka boot toppers, Fialka boot toppers, Siska hat, Seren vest).All of the projects make attractive garments, though I wouldn't want to knit all of them. It seems to me that slip-stitch works best with flat fabrics (e.g., shawls, cowls). The project that has me itching to pick up my needles is the Volna scarf that uses a woven slip-stitch pattern (see my first photo). Another design that I love is the zipper-front Kromka hoodie. Other projects of particular interest are the Mak cardigan, which uses slip-stitch edgings, and the Koktka sweater, which uses slip stitches in a shaped yoke.The project patterns call for many different weights of yarn, ranging from fingering to Aran (heavy worsted). The garment bodies are knit on US needle sizes 4-9, as appropriate for the yarn weights used. Most of the projects are knit with US 5 or larger needles. The projects are suitable for experienced intermediate to advanced knitters--they require following stitch pattern charts or row instructions.
