The Knitting Pattern Writing Handbook: How to Write Great Patterns that Knitters Will Love to Make - Hardcover
Synopsis
Take your knitting knowledge to the next level with this helpful guidebook from two professional knitting tech editors that sets much-needed standards for writing clear, accurate instructions—perfect for those interested in writing and selling original patterns.
Knitting patterns are notorious for inaccuracies in measurements and confusing directions—but no more! The Knitting Pattern Writing Handbook sets new standards for clear, accurate pattern writing, walking aspiring and experienced designers alike through each must-have component of a thorough, well-written pattern, including how to devise and present gauge, charts, and sizing information that is correct and easy-to-follow. With a focus on how to make patterns accessible to contemporary knitters—especially beginning knitters—this much-needed reference book is destined to become a classic in an industry that is beginning to professionalize after decades (even centuries!) of informal and home-based instruction. With 90,000 patterns being sold annually on the popular knitting community site Ravelry, there's a burgeoning group of indie knitwear designers eager for this guidance, provided by authors Kristina McGrath and Sarah Walworth, who host a monthly live broadcast on the technical aspect of knitting design."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author
Kristina McGrath worked in the fiber arts industry as a knitting technical editor and consultant, championing designer voice, the power of consistent pattern style, and fat-positive and size-inclusive design.
She co-authored The Knitting Pattern Writing Handbook with Sarah Walworth; together they created Tech Tip Talk, a platform for knitting designers with videos and resources to elevate the art of pattern writing and garment fit.
She is committed to clear and honest patterns that deliver on their promise to the knitter, which is the central focus of her work.

Sarah Walworth is an expert knitting technical editor, pattern grader, and ghostwriter. She runs The Tech Editor Hub, a collaborative educational community for yarn pattern editors, and co-authored The Knitting Pattern Writing Handbook with Kristina McGrath.
Sarah is completely enamored by the endless creative potential in fiber and textiles, and she firmly believes every pattern should fit every size body and fit them well.
When not knitting, you'll find her wandering outside or on the couch with a dog, working through a large stack of books and several cups of coffee. She almost always writes in the margins.
