How to Write Great Patterns that Knitters Will Love to Make

Kristina McGrath & Sarah Walworth

The Knitting Pattern Writing Handbook sets new standards for clear, accurate pattern writing, walking aspiring and experienced designers alike through each must-have component of a thorough, well-written pattern, including how to devise and present gauge, charts, and sizing information that is correct and easy-to-follow.
