KNIT: Own models and more details

Description

Ulla Engquist
KNIT Your own models and more details is a book that encourages the joy of creating. Once you have a basic pattern you like, you can vary it endlessly with different layouts, edges, knitting techniques and yarns. If you want to develop the garment further, you can play with different types of sleeves and collars, or why not turn the sweater into a cardigan and try knitting pockets and buttonholes? Do you want to knit the garment in the round? Here's what to do when you put the scissors in the knitted fabric. The book includes a basic pattern that can easily be adapted to different sizes, but you will also learn how to create a garment based on your own specific measurements and make a knitting description. The book contains 20 knitted examples - sweaters, vests and cardigans - that are intended to inspire and illustrate particular moments and techniques. You'll also find an easy-to-follow materials guide where you can read about everything from wool to acrylic, and learn what you need to consider when choosing yarn for your sweater or wanting to change to a different yarn in an existing knitting description. This is the second book in a series in which master fitter Ulla Engquist shares her expertise. It is aimed at those who enjoy knitting and now want to go further by designing their own patterns and learning to knit more advanced details.
