The Knitchick's Guide to Sweaters: Classic Styles for the Modern Knitter - Softcover

'full of inspiring projects' --Let's Knit

This book is a comprehensive and practical guide to knitting sweaters for men, women, children and even pets. Instead of giving readers a cursory introduction to lots of different kinds of knitted garments and accessories, this book hones in on sweaters, giving readers all the information they need to knit - as well as customise or even design their own - sweaters. In addition to 25 classic sweater patterns, each technique is clearly illustrated with step-by-step photographs. All patterns are formatted in a unique and usable manner, so readers will get clear line-by-line instructions as well as further explanation of terms in a handy second column. Beginners will love the straightforward patterns with comprehensive explanations, and more advanced knitters will love that the book actually teaches them how a sweater is constructed, so they can take that knowledge and apply it in ways that go beyond just simply knitting a pattern exactly as given.
