Synopsis

Learn how to create your own basic knitting patterns, tailored to your measurements by using an existing garment as a blueprint for your own knitted designs. Discover how to adapt patterns - whether your own or shop bought - to suit you by varying the design elements: necklines, sleeves and body shape, and by adding embellishments, such as embroidery, applique and repeated stitch patterns. This book gives you the power to get the best results from any pattern, while learning how to adapt them to suit your own body shape, taste and style.
