No matter how well you knit, if the sizing is wrong, nothing works. In Good Measure, Deborah Newton, knitting expert, designer, and author of the books Finishing School and Designing Knitwear, teaches how to personalize any knitted garment pattern to achieve a perfect, flattering fit for every shape and size. This indispensable reference covers every aspect of fit for knitted garments, including how to properly analyze a pattern for customization, make alterations in a project as needed, determine proper ease in every area of a garment, choose which fibers work best with a particular design, and so much more. Learn how to measure, as well as learn about drawing schematics, and capturing design details. Explore shaping in creative ways and adapt knitting patterns to your own fit needs. Deborah encourages readers to develop what she calls a "garment maker's mindset-and she tells how to do this. One of the unique aspects of this book is that it presents a wide range of different garment types and explains the characteristics if each. By learning about classic garment shapes, the knitter can better determine how the shape of a certain style will look and fit, and make adjustments for body shape and measurements. For instance, large busted women who might have had issues with fit in the past will find ways to make their sweaters look and fit well! Filled with beautiful photos, this book Includes 24 striking patterns sized XS to 2XL, 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. Why invest money and time to make knitted garments that don't fit? This book will make sure you have success with every project.

Introduction It’s all in the details! The use of what designers call fully fashioned shaping marks the difference between an ordinary ho-hum sweater and an undeniably spectacular fashion garment. Using mirrored increases and decreases—slanting certain stitches toward the left or the right to create design details can easily give a garment a couture touch. It is the construction difference between an $80 J.Crew cashmere V-neck sweater and the one that sells for $200 in the same catalog. Though both are knitted out of the same soft yarn, the less expensive sweater is usually made by assembling front, back, or sleeve pieces cut from huge bolts of machine-knit fabric and then sewn with a serger, while the more expensive sweater is created with hand-manipulated, machine-made knitting stitches. Many handknitters already use shaping details in their garments: decreases for armholes, necklines, or sleeve caps and increases for sleeves. We don’t cut our pieces into shape, we knit them into shape! But most knitters do not understand how shaping works or how to use simple increases and decreases to add visual interest to their garments. I’ve taught these techniques to hundreds of knitters, and during my workshop they begin to look at their knitting in a whole new way. I still remember that exciting aha! moment when a student in one of my classes worked her first fully fashioned V neckline a few years ago. “It’s so neat and perfect,” she proudly proclaimed. In these pages we will explore simple fully fashioned techniques and how to apply them to create interesting designer elements and flattering shaping details in garments for any body shape. You will learn that just adding a few extra details can take any project to an entirely new level of sophistication. Chapter 1 of this book is a refresher course on all the basics any knitter will need to master, from different increase and decrease methods, to Knitting Charts 101, and the dos and don’ts of figure flattery. Chapter 2 illustrates simple ways to incorporate fully fashioned shaping in stockinette garments. Included are four wearable—and knittable!—projects to get your needles clicking as you practice these basic shaping techniques. Chapter 3 provides ways of using fully fashioned shaping for designer details such as decorative raglan seams and figure-flattering vertical lines. Many of the projects include incorporated neckbands and armbands to make the finishing of the garment faster and easier. Chapter 4 delves into exciting ways to use strategically placed increases and decreases to create figure-flattering sweaters. Some of the projects in this section even use fully fashioned details to fool the eye and create the illusion of shape: You don’t have to have a perfect hourglass shape to look great! Throughout the book, you’ll discover little body shape icons that will direct you to garments that are specifically designed for your individual figure type. Diagonal lines will draw attention to certain sections of the garment—and of your body. If you’re going to take the time—and spend the money—to make custom garments, you might as well knit flattering ones! You’ll have fun experimenting with fully fashioned designer details—and using your knitting prowess to create knockout pieces that fit and flatter. Let’s get started.…

Part instruction manual and part pattern collection, Knit to Flatter teaches you how to assess your shape?top-heavy, bottom-heavy, or proportional? and then knit accordingly. With a great sense of fun and acceptance, Amy Herzog presents silhouettes and styles that work with each body shape, along with four ideal sweater patterns per category. She then provides patterns for ten more sweaters with guidelines for customizing, so they can be tailored to flatter. Each pattern is written in up to 10 sizes, and the garments are photographed on models with genuine curves. No smoke and mirrors here. Just real beauty! Praise for Knit to Flatter “You pick a pattern and buy some yarn. One hundred and fifty dollars and forty hours later, you try on your freshly knitted sweater and . . . oh no. You vow to take up scrapbooking. Which is why we need Knit to Flatter. Kudos to the author and the production team for including models of diverse colors, shapes and sizes, creating a look book to which we can all relate.” ?Vogue Knitting “A mine of resources.” ?Knit Edge magazine “I feel like this book is one that is so needed right now. . . . Getting more guidance on what styles would be more suitable seems like the smartest thing to do before investing a good chunk of change in a sweater’s worth of yarn.” ?Sweet Georgia Yarns
