Description
No matter how well you knit, if the sizing is wrong, nothing works. In Good Measure, Deborah Newton, knitting expert, designer and author of Finishing School (9781936096190), teaches how to personalise any knitted garment pattern to achieve a perfect, flattering fit for every shape and size. This indispensable reference covers every aspect of fit, including how to properly analyse a pattern for customisation, make alterations in a project as needed, determine proper ease in every area of a garment, choose which fibres work best with a particular design and so much more. Including 24 beautiful patterns sized XS to XXL, all shown on a full range of different body types, Good Measure is the invaluable resource every knitter needs to ensure a perfect fit every time.
