Don’t you love looking through books of stitch patterns for knitting inspiration? I often keep a few next to my bedside and flick through them before I fall asleep. Stitch patterns are a brilliant opportunity to practice, learn new techniques, and begin to solve the mystery of how stitches create different fabrics. They’re often a good starting point for designs too, especially if you don’t yet have the time or expertise to discover your own.
I’ve selected six stitch patterns to highlight knitted texture, lace, and ribbing, and because I wanted to make this booklet extra useful, each of the stitches is photographed on the right side and the wrong side (I haven’t seen this done before, but I wish more publications would adopt the practice), and I offer additional tips and advice to help you on your way.
Whether you’re a beginner or a bored expert, I think you’ll enjoy The Little eBook of Knitting Stitches. I’m offering it as a free gift to subscribers of the Laylock mailing list. I will send you occasional emails with knitting tips, but if you’d really rather not subscribe, write me an email & I’ll send you the PDF file anyway. Just because. :)
The eBook contains:
- 6 stitch patterns
- 2 texture
- 2 lace
- 2 rib stitches
- photographed on both right & wrong sides
- laid out with clear instructions & advice on usage.
Subscribing is completely free, I will never ever share your email address with anyone else, and of course I will never spam you!

Beautifully done!
I love your idea of photographing both the right AND wrong sides — sheer genius, that is. Some of the stitches look as good on the WS as on the RS!
Your layout is lovely, too.
Thank you! What a wonderful little ebook! You are so clever and so generous which makes you rich beyond measure.
Thanks again for brightening my day – as always!

I think it’s marvelous idea! Thanks :)
Thank you!!! it’s a so pretty… like all the thigs you do:))
really lovely
Your blog is delightful! Thanks for offering The Little eBook of Knitting Stitches.
Thank you for being so generous….
Wow, such a great idea. You are ingeneous and thoughtful of your readers!
I have been knitting helmet liners for our soldiers in Afganistan and 10 inch squares to make lap robes for our service personnel in VA hospitals. I’m always looking for new and different stitches (that aren’t too complex yet will hold my interest until the square is finished). Knitting gives me a sense of accomplishment and perhaps helps those guys and gals know that someone from home is thinking of them.
I left a comment (see above) but have not received the “Little eBook of stitches”. book. I’ve copied dozens of patterns from the ‘net but can always use more. Thanks
I love that idea, would love to know how

Just as an aside. I’m American, but my Mom is British. She was born in Shifnal, also in Shropshire and I think that Shrewsbury is one of my favorite places on Earth.

Sorry, but I can’t see which link you are referring to in the e-mail you just sent me. Have tried those I can see, but still can’t get my registration finished. Judy

Thank you very much! I’m new to knitting and really appreciate this goodie of an e-book! I love your designs and am anxious to become more proficient so I can feel confident enough to try one. :)
I’m delighted you liked it! Start small, aim big! Once you get the basic stitches down, the rest is just concentration. :)

The ebook looks great, I already want to use some of the stitches in projects, but will sample them first, which usually inspires ideas of other projects. Love your blog. Keep up the good work, Im looking forward to reading more.
