John Allen’s Treasure Of Machine Knitting Stitches
1989 - England: David & Charles Publishers plc. - by Allen, John
Designed as a complete guide for today's machine knitter, this book presents an array of stitches covering the structures of tuck stitch, lace, weaving, jacquards, cut float techniques, partial knitting, needle out effects, and edgings and braidings. The stitch patterns are designed to fit any standard 24 needle repeat, and the book contains alternative ideas for interpretation, and encourages the development of new ideas for exploiting the colour and texture of materials.

A great source of reference ideas. If you have ever been fortunate to meet John and attended one of his classes [as I have], you will know how much passion has gone into these designs and how they can extend your garment's vibrance and you as a designer. A great book to have in your library.
