Perfect fit instead of standard size knitting jumpers to fit your own body measurements We've all been there: you see a great knitting pattern, the gauge is right, you start knitting only to realise after many hours of knitting that the jumper doesn't fit after all. Knitwear designer and fit mentor Claudia Eisenkolb solves this problem with her knitting book ‘Maßgestrickt’ (Custom Knitting): She explains what makes a perfectly fitting knitted jumper and how you can tell from the knitting pattern whether the jumper design suits your figure. Step by step, she shows you how to adapt knitting patterns to your own measurements not only chest, waist and hip measurements, but also the length of your upper body, arms and many other measurements that determine whether clothes fit us less well or perfectly.
Finally, a top that fits me (perfectly)! Claudia Eisenkolb's established knitting course is finally available in book form!
Knitting jumpers in one piece: all models are knitted from top to bottom (top down)
Five basic models as basic knitting patterns: jumpers with a round yoke, saddle shoulders, raglan construction, contiguous shoulders or with set-in sleeves and armholes
Once you have chosen the right shoulder construction, the knitting instructions can be customised: this means you can knit the models with a fitted waist or as straight jumpers, and with a wide variety of sleeve options.
Adapt or redesign knitting patterns: step by step to the perfectly fitting jumper Whether you prefer to knit raglan or round yoke: with the tips and tricks from ‘Maßgestrickt’ (Custom Knitting), you can optimally adapt any knitting pattern for jumpers to your own body. Although the basics in this book are explained using jumpers, they can also be applied to slipovers or cardigans. Thanks to the ‘modular principle’ of the instructions, the basic models can be redesigned again and again with different design elements. Once you understand the basic principle, you will never knit a jumper that doesn't fit again! Whether you have only knitted a few jumpers or have years of experience, you are guaranteed to find the right model and instructions for your taste and knitting level in this knitting book!
