Teach Yourself VISUALLY Knitting Design: Working from a Master Pattern to Fashion Your Own Knits

by Sharon Turner

John Wiley & Sons | January 12, 2007 | Trade Paperback

There are lots of stylish knitting patterns out there, but sometimes you want to do your own thing. Maybe you''ve found a yarn that would make a beautiful hat, and all you need are basic directions for shaping. Or maybe you''ve had your eye on a cute sweater in a store window and know that you can make a better version yourself-if you could only figure out the measurements. This handy guide demystifies all that knitting math and shows you how to knit custom-fitted, one-of-a-kind fashions that express your style. Master patterns for hats, sweaters, scarves, shawls, bags, mittens, vests, and socks lay out the basic construction for each item in a range of sizes; you choose the yarn and decide which modifications and customizations you want to make.

Precise master patterns show you all the steps involved in constructing handknits

  • Master patterns give instructions for multiple sizes and gauges
  • A number of shaping, edgings, and stitch patterns accompany each master pattern
  • Helpful tips provide additional guidance
  • Tables take the work out of knitting math
  • Step-by-step instructions accompany each photo
  • Color photos, illustrations, and diagrams demonstrate important concepts

    Not The Best Book to Learn Design

    Tricia Lynn

    10 months ago

    If you are not really experienced in knitting I would recommend this for learning how to design. It is quite complicated with a few patterns. The Sweater Workshop is a much better book.
