The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns: Basic Designs in Multiple Sizes & Gauges by Ann Budd $15.48

Regular price $26.95

If knitting sweaters is your passion this book is your definitive resource.

Has standard sweater patterns in a variety of sizes and gauges, as well as a template from which to develop your own design ideas.

Both a pattern book and a reference book. With easy-to-follow charted instructions.

Detailed diagrams for finished dimensions are included, along with a glossary of techniques and a chapter on design considerations.

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.

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.

The most commonly created items have very basic patterns and you can pretty much find them all in one book...this one!

Spiral binding inside a hard cover, complete with elastic strap and a pocket for papers inside the back cover.

Ann Budd is the managing editor of Interweave Knits.
