Perfect fit instead of standard size – knitting sweaters tailored to your own body measurements. Who hasn't experienced this: You see a great knitting pattern, the gauge is right, you start knitting – only to realize after many hours of work that the sweater doesn't fit after all. Knitting designer and fit mentor Claudia Eisenkolb solves this problem with her knitting book "Custom Knitting": She explains what makes a perfectly fitting knitted sweater and how you can already tell from the pattern whether the sweater construction suits your figure. Step by step, she shows how to adjust knitting patterns to your own measurements – not just bust, waist, and hip, but also the length of the torso, arms, and many other measurements that determine how well clothing fits us. Finally, a top that fits me! Claudia Eisenkolb's established knitting course is now finally available in book form! Knit sweaters in one piece: All models are knitted from the top down. Five basic models as foundational knitting patterns: sweaters with round yoke, saddle shoulder, raglan construction, contiguous shoulder, or set-in sleeve with cap. After choosing the appropriate shoulder construction, the knitting patterns can be customized: You can knit the models with shaping or as a straight sweater, and with various sleeve options. Adjust or redesign knitting patterns: step by step to the perfectly fitting sweater. Whether you prefer knitting raglan or round yoke: with the tips and tricks from "Custom Knitting," you can optimally adapt any sweater knitting pattern to your own body. The fundamentals explained in this book are focused on sweaters but can also be applied to knitting vests or cardigans. Thanks to the modular principle of the instructions, the basic models can be combined with various design elements.
