Fabric.com Blog Picking the right stitch pattern When designing your own knit project you may go around and around trying to decide which stitch pattern is the correct one . I have had this battle many times . Either I have a distinct vision in my head of what I want my stitch pattern to look like herringbone , small cable or twisted stitch or I know how I want the garment to hang but no vision of the texture . In either case I turn to my collection of Stitchtionaries , a dictionary of stitch patterns that show a swatch of the completed pattern with instructions on how to complete the pattern . In these books you can learn a lot of each pattern just based on the small amount of info given and it can help you determine the best stitch pattern for your project .
