Designers have to create knitting patterns in standard sizes, but very few people actually match up to those "average" measurements. So what is a knitter to do? Here Margaret Hubert teaches you how to adjust standard patterns to fit your unique measurements, to suit your size. With these instructions, it's also easy to modify the style and add buttons or raise a neckline. Diagrams and illustrations throughout the book will help you understand body shapes and easily compare measurements. Hubert clearly explains garment construction, specific increases, decreases, and other shaping methods, as well as finishing techniques and embellishments.
