Knit to flatter and fit! It sounds simple, but too many knitters choose the wrong pattern for their shape and size. After decades of teaching, designing, and writing about knitting, Sally Melville knows how to customize knitting patterns to fit a wide variety of body types. With a little planning and subtle alterations, you can make a garment that is just right for you! Here, Sally shares this knowledge for the first time. Together with her daughter, fellow knitwear designer Caddy Melville Ledbetter, Sally demystifies the process of picking the right pattern and modifying it to your body's advantage. The authors have designed 30 customizable garments for women of all shapes, heights, and ages, including a slimming Jackie Kennedy-style Camelot coat, a reversible tank top with a scoop neck, a Jane Austen-inspired jacket with an empire waist, and a flirty top that enhances feminine curves.--From publisher description.
