About this ebook
Adapting basic sweater patterns for personal preferences and measurements is the focus of this step-by-step guidebook that helps knitters refashion knitting schematics. The designs, illustrations, and photos demonstrate how to adjust patterns to different styles so that any knitter can customize sweater patterns into unique creations. Challenging projects - ranging from sweaters and vests to pullovers and jackets - and easy-to-follow instructions illustrate the basic elements of sweater design to inspire knitters at all levels. Learning how to fit the bodice; change yarns, proportions, neckline styles, sleeve length, and color and stitch patterns; and add collars and edgings will give knitters the confidence to alter any pattern to meet their needs.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another terrific How-to book by the Twisted Sisters. I haven't tried any of their techniques yet but I read this book from cover to cover at least twice! I love the way they have beginners to experienced knitters work a sweater based upon a common shape or technique. I hope they do another one with other shapes or fibres. I love this approach to fitting.
