This book is very much like The Pattern Library: Crochet, as it is one of The Pattern Library series. It would be a good book to slip into your project tote. There are clear illustrations showing the different stitches and lots of pattern stitches for which to refer. The stitch patterns include very basic knit and purl stitch combinations, cables, colorslip (slip) stitches, bobbles and embossed stitches, openwork (lace), colorwork including Fair Isle, edgings, and embroidery work. This book is too short to go into depth on any one thing, but it offers a decent overview. Physically, the book is very slim and the spine is prone to becoming easily unglued.

This was hecking adorable! I went in looking for cable techniques and I got it! I thought I wanted the eight stitch cable, loved the crossing cables, and freaking excited about trying this banjo cable! This is a lovely reference book!
