The Sweater with the Best Fit Ever!
If you’re the kind of knitter who can pick up any sweater pattern, and make a sweater that fits beautifully, then you may not need this book.
If you’re a brand-new knitter, you can certainly make this sweater, but this book is probably going to overwhelm you unless you have a more experienced knitter helping you.
If, however, you’re a knitter who’s had issues over the years with side seams going askew, sleeves being too long or too short, hems being too tight or too loose, shoulders drooping, the bustline too tight or loose--and the list goes on--then this book will be just what you’re looking for.
The Sweater with the Best Fit Ever! will show you how to calculate sweater fit from beginning to end, over every part of your upper body. You’ll take detailed measurements and will use them all to calculate a fit that has ease exactly the way you prefer it. You’ll need to do math, but I’ll take you through it as gently as possible, using tables that will guide you through. You can use any weight of yarn for any of the patterns.
When you’re done, you’ll be able to use this book to fit any other sweater you’d like to make! You’ll truly understand fit.
The book was born from many years of teaching sweater classes at my yarn shop, and wanting to get fit truly working for knitters. It’s divided into these chapters:
Chapter 1: Measurements
Chapter 2: The back to the underarm
Chapter 3: The front to the underarm
Chapter 4: The lower sleeves
Chapter 5: The set-in sleeve
Chapter 6: The yoke
Chapter 7: The raglan
Chapter 8: Finishing
Chapter 9: Modifications
