Join the movement! Four million strong and counting, hip, young chicks with sticks are putting a whole new spin on knitting--while turning last fall's Stitch 'n Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook into a surprise national bestseller (from The New York Times to the L.A. Times to BookSense) with 215,000 copies in print. So influential is the book that the number of Stitch 'n Bitch knitting groups tripled in the past six months--spawning a Stitch 'n Bitch Nation.

Written by Stitch 'n Bitch author Debbie Stoller, Stitch 'n Bitch Nation features 50 hip, new, even funkier and more fabulous patterns by Stitch 'n Bitch designers, who come from San Francisco to Brooklyn, Chicago to Cambridge to St. Paul, Minnesota. The Om Yoga Mat Bag. Felted Monster Slippers. The London Calling Union Jack Sweater, because even punks get cold in winter. A Double-Duty Shrug. Polka Dot Tankini. That '70s Poncho. The Boob Tube. Spiderweb Capelet, Cabled Newsboy Cap, Chunky Baby Booties and Baby Bunny Hat. And the most ingenious project, a Knit-Your-Own Rock Star doll--with a choice of Joey Ramone or Henry Rollins. All designs are complete with full-color photographs and step-by-step instructions, and are made from sexy, contemporary yarns, including multicolored angora, alpaca, lace, and mohair. Includes the best tips, shortcuts, and techniques from Stitch 'n Bitchers, profiles of knitters and their groups, and a how-to refresher on all the stitches used in the book.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

With its spiffy prose and no-fail instructions, Stoller's 2003 Stitch 'n Bitch made it doable—easy, even—for gals (and the occasional guy) to knit up a cool bag or a happening scarf in a few nights. The book's sequel is a bit like the follow-up to many great movies: it draws you in, but doesn't pack anywhere near the punch of the first one, probably because the first one set the bar so high. Still, Stoller should have no problem packing the theaters, as it were: readers who've mastered most of the lessons in Stitch 'n Bitch will flock to it. Its opening section explains the complicated but worthwhile process of changing a pattern to suit your tastes: shortening sleeves, changing necklines, using a heavier or lighter yarn to create different effects, etc. Stoller uses her signature sharp, matter-of-fact voice to demystify these potentially confusing processes. After these lessons, the book takes a 180, launching into a smorgasbord of patterns for knitted designs ranging from the beautiful (sweaters like the Spiderweb Capelet and Clover Lace Wrap) to the hackneyed (a Two for Tea teapot cozy or been-there-done-that Roller Girl Legwarmers). Vignettes covering Stitch 'n Bitch knitting clubs from Arlington, Va., to Seattle, Wash., add a community feel, and the photos of models sporting knitwear superimposed on quintessential American backgrounds (Mount Rushmore, an urban Chinatown) add to the book's "knitting for the masses" spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Second Book
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2010

I bought the originial SnB and this one I had to get shortly after. This is not beginner's book...for that go buy the first one. There are still patterns in here that a beginner could make. It had some wonderful information in how to change patterns to make them your own, such as how to turn that cute sweater with a horrible turtle neck into a V neck and so on. Wonderful stuff for someone who looks at patterns and thinks about where they would make little changes. But that is just the instruction part. The patterns are what grabs your eye. All the patterns have great pictures in color and there are little tips by knitters spread out around the book. It's a little sad to see people complain they didnt like every pattern. Any book with this many patterns is not going to be a hit for every single one in the book. New it's what $10..used I've seen as low as $2.00. If you like two patterns it was money well spent. As for mistakes...please please do not let those negative reviews discourage you. Those were only in the first editions and had been fixed since. The authors website does have the corrections should you get the old edition, but mine bought used had everything fixed. I personally loved the catwarming set they had in here, so easy and my cat goes BONKERS for his knit mouse. You can't beat the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT follow up book
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2004

This is just the book I was waiting for! Stoller continues to delight with her witty, fun approach to knitting. The fifty patterns are enticing...I cannot wait until my finals are over this week to get started!

Much appreciated in this book is the beginning section on how to alter existing patters. There have been sweaters I want to alter, using different yarn guages but haven't had a clear idea of exactly how to do that. I can't wait to get started on playing with patterns to come up with my own creations.

There are some excellent, quick projects in this book that can be knit up quick for gifts, and, in my opinion, handmade gifts are more personal and meaningful thangift cards.

An improvement in this book is the fact that the color pictures are with the patterns, so you no longer have to flip back and forth between picture and pattern.

There's something about the Stitch 'n Bitch series that makes me keep coming back. I think it's kind of like pizza- you know you could eat something healthier, but it just tastes good!

Every book she puts out is written in such a way that's totally engaging, even if you're not interested in the topic or if it's something you've known how to do since you learned how to knit.

Plus (and this is the big plus, I think this is the closest to the truth as to why I keep buying these frikkin' books,)the patterns are both current and timeless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Instructions for Beginners and Good Reference for More Experienced Knitters
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is the book I used to teach myself to knit. The instructions are very clear and it is written in a more casual style than most instructional books, which is just what I needed to be able to understand some of the techniques without having an experienced knitter to teach me. The patterns are fun but the designs do tend to be geared towards teens or young adults. I have only knit a few of the designs presented, but this book is a great reference guide and I keep it within easy reach when I am knitting in case I am a little unclear on a technique. I would definitely recommend this to others (and I have)!

This is a great book for beginner as well as skilled knitters. I bought this book originally to make the Headline News Cap but once I received this book I found many other patterns I want to make. I completed the newsboy cap with ease. The instructions were very clearly written and easy to follow. My cap came out perfectly and I have another one on the needles ready to knit. I recommend this book. There are many interesting tips and advice in the beginning of the book and I learned some neat techniques that have been useful to me in other projects. I am very happy with this purchase.

I really like all of Debbie Stoller's books. I have been inspired to start two knitting groups in the past few years because of her book. We really enjoy getting together each week. Stoller's books are very interesting, fun to read, informative and helpful in general.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of great patterns
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2004
Verified Purchase
There are many appealing patterns in here, from a mock-cable scarf to a gorgeous felted bag customized with one's initial to an aqua kimono jacket. My only gripe is that I think it would have been helpful to rate the patterns by difficulty. For this beginning knitter, some projects look like they would be simple but then require more advanced skills (such as the grafting in the felted slippers project). It definitely helps to have the first Stitch N Bitch book to refer to, in those cases.

The beginning section about the spread of the Stitch N Bitch phenomenon and about customizing one's own patterns is very enjoyable to read because the author has an engaging, enthusiastic writing style. I admire her for starting and capitalizing on a trend that is providing hours of creativity and enjoyment for many new knitters... and indeed ceasing to be a trend, instead becoming part of our popular culture and a link to the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wie man jede Strickanleitung an eigene Maße + Wolle anpasst!
Reviewed in Germany on December 16, 2005
Verified Purchase
Mit diesem Buch habe ich endlich ein Buch gefunden, das beschreibt, wie man Strickmuster z.B. mit anderer Wolle und anderen Maßen nachstrickt. Ich habe mir - auch durch Nachfragen bei kompetenter Hilfe - schon vieles davon angeeignet, hätte mir aber gewünscht diese gut ausgearbeiteten Ratschläge von diesem Buch schon früher gelesen zu haben. Trotz meiner bisherigen Kenntnisse habe ich noch einige Aha!-Erlebnisse gehabt.
Damit jemand anderes einen Eindruck von diesem Buch erhält, die oben beschriebenen Ausführung sind der erste Teil des Buches mit 30 Seiten. Dann kommen auf 220 Seiten wie schon im ersten Buch ausgefallene und witzige Strickideen. Wenn dies das erste Buch in der Reihe Stitch 'n Bitch gewesen wäre, fände man diese genial. So ist aber zu sagen, dass die hoch geschraubten Erwartungen erfüllt werden. Die restlichen 40 Seiten des Buches teilen sich in eine ca. 20 seitige Wiederholung der Grundlagen vom Stricken (was alles genauer im ersten Buch beschrieben wird) und ca. 20 Seiten Informationen über (amerikanische) Wolllieferanten, ein Index...
Die ersten 30 Seiten über das Anpassen eines Strickmusters an eigenen Vorstellungen sind meines Erachtens in ihrer Ausführlichkeit und Genauigkeit schon Grund genug dieses Buch uneingeschränkt zum Kaufen zu empfehlen. Spaß macht es jedem/jede wohl noch allemal in den vorgestellten Strickideen herum zu blättern. Zusammenfassend: Kaufen!
Leider gibt es so ein Buch nur auf Englisch. Und man lernt so einiges über englische Strickbegriffe.

5.0 out of 5 stars lots of patterns!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 16, 2005
Verified Purchase
This, Debbie Stoller's second Stitch 'n Bitch book, follows on nicely from the first and is designed to appeal to the new generation of younger, cooler knitters (isn't that all of us?). It assumes you've got a basic knowledge of knitting and shows you some of the more complex stuff, eg how to adapt patterns to suit different yarns (or different body shapes!) and how to write your own patterns. It's got 50 new patterns ranging from baby gifts to fishnet tights, and whilst none of them look impossibly difficult, most have a new trick to teach you like a lace pattern or a cable. As this is an American book not all of the yarn is easily available in the UK - quite a few of the patterns specify Rowan wool which should be fairly easy to source, but most of those that aren't don't look too difficult to find substitutes for. I've made a couple of the scarves so far as gifts, and they've been very well recieved - I'm now half way through the "Baby's First Tattoo" cardie which has been very easy to follow and looks like another winner! Highly recommended.
