Adapting basic sweater patterns for personal preferences and measurements is the focus of this step-by-step guidebook that helps knitters refashion knitting schematics. The designs, illustrations, and photos demonstrate how to adjust patterns to different styles so that any knitter can customize sweater patterns into unique creations. Challenging projects - ranging from sweaters and vests to pullovers and jackets - and easy-to-follow instructions illustrate the basic elements of sweater design to inspire knitters at all levels. Learning how to fit the bodice; change yarns, proportions, neckline styles, sleeve length, and color and stitch patterns; and add collars and edgings will give knitters the confidence to alter any pattern to meet their needs.

      The "Twisted Sisters" who inspired this bookalong with Vogel's "The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook"originated as a Portland, OR, group of handspinners that dyes and knits using its own handspun yarns. Taking the form of a self-paced workshop, this practical guide to knitwear design, like Ann Budd's "The Knitter's Handy Guide to Sweater Patterns", teaches sweater-knitting techniques to be used with any yarn or body type. But it goes even further, instructing readers on doing the math and working from a list of measurements called a fitter list, which records all key sweater measurements and is the basis of the sweater map (an annotated knitting schematic). Essential for libraries with strong knitting collections.
