The Knitter`s Handy Book of Sweater Patterns
|
"Knitting one-of-a-kind sweaters just got easier. Choose a style, a size, and a gauge, and you're on your way. The six most popular sweater constructions (drop shoulder, modified drop shoulder, set-in sleeve, saddle shoulder, raglan, and seamless yoke) are presented with easy-to-follow, charted instructions. Each style comes in fifteen sizes (from 26" to 54" chest circumference) and in five gauges. If you're counting, that's 450 patterns. And if you add the cardigan and neckline variations, edgings, waist shapings, and color and stitch patterns, you've got more than 1,500 design options! Detailed instructions for eighteen sweaters are included along with an illustrated glossary of techniques. If knitting sweaters is your passion, this is your definitive resource."
This book is a great reference whether you're a beginner knitter or have loads of experience. It gives yardage estimates for each project, and uses charts to give you patterns in various yarn weights and various sizes. Each section includes a drawing with measurements. There are lots of quick tips and suggestions on how to personalize and embellish the basic designs with stitch patterns or colour.
