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.
