The Knitter's Sweater Fitting Bible book

Most knitters have a drawer full of sweaters that almost fit. This book is the fix. The Knitter's Sweater Fitting Bible by Sommer Street is a thorough, practical guide to understanding why garments fit the way they do — and exactly what to do about it. It starts with the fundamentals: how to measure accurately, how to read ease, how yarn and fabric choice affect drape and silhouette. From there it moves into construction, then into the real workhorse chapter: Fixing Fit, a section-by-section reference for altering busts, shoulders, sleeves, necklines, and more. For knitters ready to move beyond modifying existing patterns, the Sweater Style Templates and Design Profiles show you how to build a sweater from your own measurements using any yarn you choose. Sample profiles are drawn from real bodies, not idealized ones. Covers ease, shaping, fabric behavior, and construction from the ground up Detailed alteration guides for every major sweater section Inclusive fit profiles for a wide range of bodies Templates for designing your own sweaters from scratch 192 pages, 10.75 x 8.27 x 10.75 inches
