CONNIE CHANG CHINCHIO holds a PhD in physics, works 9–5

in finance, and also designs wildly popular knitwear. Many of her

patterns have appeared in Interweave Knits and Knitscene; she has

also designed for Classic Elite, Reynolds, Twist Collective, Knit.1,

and Knitter’s. She lives in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Her patterns have been knit, worn, and adored by

thousands of knitters. Now for the first time you can get

a full collection of 22 brand-new, original designs from

beloved knitwear designer Connie Chang Chinchio.

Textured Stitches brings Connie’s trademark combination ofsimple knitting with lovely patterned stitches to flattering,

wearable projects. e patterns are fun to knit, mixing quick-

and-easy stockinette stitch with more involved stitch patterns

such as lattice, ruching, knitted pleats, cables, twisted stitches,

and ribbing. e textured stitches help create a tailored fit,

while classic stockinette lends drape and a polished finish.

You’ll also learn how textured stitches affect gauge, how yarn

choices influence the look of patterned stitches, shaping, and

special cast-on and bind-off techniques.

e result is a wardrobe full of stylish and smart sweaters,

tanks, tees, and accessories that you’ll love to make and wear.
