Patty Lyons' Knitting ER | Book

Dropped stitches, missing cables or sleeves that need adjusting? Patty Lyons’ Knitting ER helps you repair projects on the needles and finished knits, with step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations and video tutorials. A reassuring reference for turning knitting mishaps into manageable fixes.

A dropped stitch, a missing cable or sleeves that aren’t quite the right length needn’t mean starting again.

Patty Lyons’ Knitting ER is a practical guide to rescuing your knitting, whether your project is still on the needles or already finished. With clear instructions, detailed technical drawings and QR codes linking to video tutorials, Patty helps you understand what’s gone wrong and how to put it right.

Alongside everyday fixes, you’ll find repairs for trickier stitch patterns, including brioche and half fisherman’s rib. There are also techniques for making changes after casting off, from adjusting sleeve lengths to adding a forgotten cable.

The playful medical theme and illustrations by Franklin Habit bring a little humour to those frustrating knitting moments, while the step-by-step guidance helps you tackle repairs with greater confidence.

Inside you’ll find:

• Repairs for projects on the needles and finished knits
• Techniques ranging from simple fixes to more advanced repairs
• Help with specialist stitches, including brioche and half fisherman’s rib
• Ways to alter finished garments
• Detailed drawings and video tutorials to guide you through the process
• A useful reference to keep beside your knitting bag, ready for the next “can I fix this?” moment.
