About this title

Synopsis

A key reference for knitters of all skill levels, this essential resource includes detailed, easy-to-follow sweater patterns

Fiber and yarn enthusiasts will celebrate Ann Budd's addition to The Knitter's Handy Book series. Fulfilling a growing interest in knitting sweaters from the top down and knitting seamless sweaters that require little finishing, this guide offers instructions for knitting four basic sweater types: circular yoke, raglan, set-in sleeve, and saddle shoulder. Patterns are offered in multiple sizes and yarn gauges and for a broad age group.

Following the basics for each of the four sweater types are three diverse patterns from top designers that demonstrate how you can customize the instructions to fit your own creative expression, including color, texture, and shaping variations.

For intermediate to advanced knitters, it also includes personal design touches, detailed charts, clear instruction, and quick tips to expand knitting possibilities and maintain creative originality.
