Splendid Apparel: A Handbook of Embroidered Knits by Anna Zilboorg (2015) beautifully combines the crafts of knitting and embroidery.

The book explores how textured knit fabrics can be enhanced with embroidery for color, detail, and sheen, and includes 18 full patterns for classic, wearable garments designed to become modern heirlooms. Clear guidance on technique, design choices, and even how to remove embroidery stitches makes this both a practical handbook and an inspiring resource for knitters who enjoy adding a personal, decorative touch to their work.
