Just landed! Norah’s Gaughan’s Twisted Stitch Sourcebook is a veritable tome of stitch patterns featuring simple twisted stitches.  This new book features 125 stitch patterns, both charted and written out row by row. Fifteen customizable garment patterns will give you instant inspiration on how to use these beautiful textures. Knit them as written or choose your favorite twisted stitch patterns.

So, what is a twisted stitch? For these designs, twisted stitches are two stitches that change places with each other, much like a cable, but worked entirely on the needles in a special way. While the look is very similar to a cable, these stitches stand out from the fabric in high relief.

Norah Gaughan is an instructor and designer, and currently serves as the editor in chief of Vogue Knitting magazine.
