Both a
pattern book and a reference book, The Knitter's Handy Book of
Sweater Patterns has been 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 design ideas.
This sequel to the phenomenal bestseller The
Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns, presents easy-to-follow
charted instructions for eighteen sweaters, three in each of the
six most popular sweater constructions: drop shoulder, modified
drop shoulder, set-in sleeve, saddle shoulder, raglan, and seamless
yoke. Each style is provided in fifteen sizes (in two-inch graduations)
from a 26-inch chest circumference for a two-year-old child to a
54-inch chest circumference for a large adult. Each size is further
divided into six possible gauges: 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 stitches per
inch. If you're counting, that's 75 options for each of the six
styles, or 450 patterns in all (all with yarn yardage estimates).
Add the cardigan and neckline variations, and you've got more than
1,000 patterns! Even more variations are possible by adding different
neck finishes, edgings, waist shapings, and color or stitch patterns.
Detailed diagrams for finished dimensions are included, along with
a glossary of techniques and a chapter on design considerations.
If knitting sweaters is your passion, look no further-this book
is your definitive resource. Covered spiral binding, 224 pages, 40 color photographs,
40 diagrams, 10 charts, 7 x 9 1/4, ISBN 10: 1-931499-43-8 ISBN 13: 978-1-931499-43-9
