If you have ever knit a sweater where the fit was off, there wasn't enough shaping, or it simply turned out way too big - you might be tempted to turn away from future sweater knitting endeavors. With Sweater Design in Plain English, you will have everything you need to know to create sweaters that look good and fit the way that you want your sweaters to fit. In this completely updated and revised edition, TNNA-certified knitting instructor Maggie Righetti pairs up with knitting teacher Terri Shaw to share and pass on years of knitting know-how. This revised addition also features a new introduction, a detailed glossary, and even a personal measurements record-keeping section. You will learn to understand the nature of yarn and different stitch patterns, how to choose color and designs to flatter your figure, how to take accurate body measurements, and even how to estimate how much yardage you will need for your own sweater! Additionally, you will find a section with helpful information on altering existing patterns to fit and suit your style. All of the techniques and instructions are paired with clear diagrams, sketches and photographs along with 13 basic sweater patterns that can be modified for endless possibilities. Sweater Design in Plain English takes the guesswork of your knitting, allowing you to invest your time and creativity in larger projects with successful results!
