There are quite a few stitch dictionaries available. Some hold hundreds of different stitch patterns in them for you to try. These are useful if you’re looking to incorporate an original design or add a unique border or hem to a project.
You can always invest in a stitch dictionary in book form, but you may find yourself needing two, three or more. That’s fine if you want to add to your knitting library, but this can get expensive.
You can also find free knitting stitch patterns on the Web. What I like about this particular site is that, as far as I can tell, all of the stitch patterns are accompanied by a photo, so you know exactly how the finished product should look. Many of the stitch patterns also come with a free pattern using that stitch.
Using stitch pattern resources like this allow you to try a stitch out to see if you like it and how you can use it in an original or modified design.
