From the Inside Flap
(back cover)
Ever looked at a knitting pattern and thought "I wish it had more shaping/ shorter sleeves/ a V-neck? Ever bought the perfect yarn and failed to find the perfect pattern? Fed up with knitting the same reliable pattern just because you know it fits? If these problems sound all too familiar, this is the book for you.
The authors explain all the symbols and abbreviations used in knitting patterns and help you understand how shaping works. They tell you what you need to know in order to get the best results from any pattern, and they teach you how to adapt patterns to suit your own body shape, taste, and style.
Learn to adapt a store-bought pattern, and you're well on your way to making the perfect one-of-a-kind garment with that great designer look--but without the designer price tag.
This book is suited to knitters of all shapes, sizes, styles, and skill levels.

How to Use, Adapt, and Design Knitting Patterns: How to Knit Exactly What You Want, Every Time--With Confidence!
Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Here's an easy-to-follow self-teaching course that shows knitters how to get exactly the results they want from less-than-perfect commercial patterns. The authors begin with the basics, explaining the meanings of the symbols and abbreviations used in knitting patterns. Next they show readers how to take their own body measurements and how to identify their body landmarks--those especially important points that need to be measured in order to get good results when adapting and modifying patterns. A detailed section on the specifics of adapting patterns shows how to change necklines and sleeves, how to change a pullover sweater into a cardigan, how to transform a chunky wool pattern into a lightweight design by changing yarns, and much more. A separate chapter instructs ambitious knitters on designing their own patterns from scratch. The book concludes with seven ready-to-use knitting patterns that less-confident knitters can copy and adapt. This book, which is suited to the needs of knitters of all skill levels, features hundreds of color photos, line illustrations, and diagrams. Seller Inventory # 00107153189
