Sweaters that truly fit – finally within reach.
The Knitter's Sweater Fitting Bible is the essential guide for knitters who want to create garments that fit beautifully and feel amazing. Whether you're tired of sweaters that ride up, sag, or just don't sit right, this book will walk you through every step of understanding, adjusting, and designing for the perfect fit.
Learn how to take accurate body measurements and decode the language of “fit” in Measuring Matters. Demystify shaping and silhouette in Understanding Ease, and get to grips with smart yarn choices and essential swatching techniques in the Yarn and Fabric chapter.
Build a solid knowledge of sweater construction and then dive into Fixing Fit – a reference-packed chapter full of easy-to-follow, section-by-section pattern alterations for busts, shoulders, sleeves, necklines, and more.
When you’re ready to go beyond tweaking existing patterns, turn to The Sweater Style Templates and Design Profiles which explain how to use your measurements to build a personalised sweater using the yarn of your choice..
- Clear explanations of fit principles, ease, and fabric behavior
- Inclusive designs with sample profiles for real makers in real bodies
- The only sweater book you'll need for confidence, creativity, and comfort
Transform how you knit – and how your sweaters fit – for good.
