About the Book



Knit sweaters that truly fit with this complete guide to measuring, modifying, and making garments for every body. The Knitter's Sweater Fitting Bible includes alteration tutorials, style tips, and customizable templates to build the sweaters you've always wanted.



Book Synopsis



Sweaters that truly fit - finally within reach.

The Knitter's Sweater Fitting Bible is the essential guide for knitters who want to create garments that fit beautifully and feel amazing. Whether you're tired of sweaters that ride up, sag, or just don't sit right, this book will walk you through every step of understanding, adjusting, and designing for perfect fit.

Start by learning to take accurate body measurements and decode the language of "fit" in Measurements and Defining Fit. Demystify shaping and silhouette in Understanding Ease, and get to grips with smart yarn choices and essential swatching techniques in Yarn and Fabric for Successful Sweaters. Build a solid knowledge of construction in Sweater Styles, then dive into Fixing Fit - a reference-packed chapter full of easy-to-follow, section-by-section pattern alterations for busts, shoulders, sleeves, necklines, and more.

When you're ready to go beyond tweaking existing patterns, turn to The Sweater Map section which explains how to use your measurements to build personalised sweater schematics. Following that are the Sweater Templates which guide you through the process of logging your own measurements for each part of a sweater which can then be used in conjunction with the nine Design Profiles to create the perfect sweater.

- Clear explanations of fit principles, ease, and fabric behavior
- Inclusive designs with sample profiles for real makers in real bodies
- The only sweater book you'll need for confidence, creativity, and comfort

Transform how you knit - and how your sweaters fit - for good.
