Knitwear Design Workshop: A Comprehensive Guide to Handknits

The art of hand knit garment design begins with the first book in the series, Knitwear Design Workshop: A Comprehensive Guide to Hand Knits. Thoroughly immersing the knitter in all areas of design, from taking body measurements, selecting garment types and fabric to reading charts, making swatches and writing patterns, the author walks the reader through completing the calculations for designing sweaters, dresses, skirts, coats and executing all the little details that make for impeccable finished garments: sleeves, collars, necklines, buttonholes and pockets. The book includes worksheets to use as aids along the way as you plan your own hand knit designs.
