Fiber and yarn enthusiasts nationwide will celebrate Ann Budd's latest
addition to The Knitter's Handy Book series. Answering to a growing
interest in knitting sweaters from the top down and knitting seamless
sweaters that require little finishing, this handy book offers
instructions for knitting four basic sweater types: circular yoke,
raglan, set-in sleeve, and saddle shoulder. Patterns are offered in
multiple sizes and yarn gauges and for a broad age group.
Following the basics for each of the four sweater types are three
diverse patterns from top designers that illustrate some of the many
ways that instructions can be used as springboards for creative
expression, including color, texture, and shaping variations.
Also included for intermediate to advanced knitters are personal design
touches, detailed charts, clear instruction, and quick tips to expand
knitting possibilities and maintain creative originality. A key
reference for knitters of all skill levels, this is the new essential
knitting resource on your bookshelf.
