The Handknitter's Design Book by Alison Ellen

Throughout this guide to creating original knitwear designs, the emphasis is on choosing the simplest and most appropriate techniques for each step of the process. A start can be made with just a tape measure, a few simple calculations and a hank of yarn. Advice and information is included on improving knitting technique, dyeing yarns, stitch patterns, mix-and-match details and a selection of introductory projects.
Alison Ellen began making hand knitwear in the 1980s and went on to teach short courses and textile groups. Inspired by her research into knitting history and technique, she wrote three books on knitting, including Hand Knitting: New Directions and Knitting: Colour, Structure and Design.
