In the Author's Words....
"This book will teach you, in addition to new patterns, this system of charting. It is system that I have found useful in many ways. It has helped me to understand pattern stitches while learning them, to create new pattern stitches, to design garments, to keep handy records of knitting directions and to visualize patterns at a glance without having to work through a series of written formulae. I offer it here, in the hope that it will help other knitters in the same way." (pg xivs)

Charted Knitting Designs
In this final volume of the Barbara Walker Treasury series, the designs charted are original designs created by the author. Many of the designs were inspired by older traditional designs, created through a process of trying different variations - playing with the shapes and techniques to form new patterns. Charts provide easy to follow visual instructions and also make designing, pattern shaping adjustments, or experimentation with stitches easier than the traditional written patterns - ie you can see what you will be knitting and easily record what you knit.

The 350 patterns include texture, twisted stitch, cable, mosaic, lace and color patterns. The Twist Stitch Chapter has dozens of wonderful patterns from Three Diamonds (a pattern of intertwined diamonds), Frogged Border (shown above). There are over 50 cable patterns (which while they look complex, are easy to knit with the charted instructions) including Short Swinging Cable/Long Swinging Cable/Grand Swinging Cable (shown beside) and several unusual cables that enclose textural stitches, plus some inventive cables that form intertwined trees and branches. This book, as with the others in the series, is a wonderful and inspiring resource.
