The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns
By Ann Budd
|
Created for knitters who want standard sweater patterns in a variety of sizes
and gauges, as well as those who want a template from which to develop their
own designs, this book provides easy-to-follow charted instructions for
18 sweaters, three in each of the six most popular sweaters constructions.
Each style is then provided in 15 sizes ranging from toddler to large adult,
then further divided into six possible gauges: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 stitches
per inch combining for 90 options for each of the six styles, or 540 patterns
in all. The cardigan and neckline variations make for more than 1,000 patterns.
Detailed schematics for finished dimensions are included, along with a glossary
of techniques and a chapter on design considerations. This is a definitive
resource for the passionate sweater knitter.
