Aimed at both established and emerging designers, Pattern Writing for Knit Designers is the comprehensive guide that can help translate a project into a set of instructions that any knitter can follow.|In February of 2014, Ravelry gained its 4 millionth member. To celebrate, the site released statistical information about its users, and we learned that more than 30 thousand members have uploaded their own original patterns to Ravelry’s database of patterns. That’s a lot of pattern designers! Have you ever stopped to wonder where Ravelers are learning how to write, format, and photograph their instructions and projects? While the knitting book market has a variety of how-to-design-a-sweater books, there hasn’t been a book to date that acts a writing guide for knitters until Kate Atherley’s Pattern Writing for Knit Designers. In the pages of this must-have resource, Kate takes knitters and would-be pattern writers through each step necessary to create a set of instructions that fellow knitters will be able to successfully reknit.
Kate has poured her years of experience reading, editing and writing instructions as Knitty.com’s Managing Technical Editor into Pattern Writing for Knit Designers to aid knitters in creating patterns ready for publication. In addition to a detailed style guide of preferred abbreviations, phrases, punctuation, and number usage, Pattern Writing for Knit Designers also includes sample instructions, schematics, and charts (all with
