Book Reviews of Teach Yourself Visually Knitting Design: Working from a Master Pattern to Fashion Your Own Knits (Teach Yourself Visually)
Book Review: One of the best knitting books I've ever purchased.....
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a relatively new knitter, yet at the point where I was frustrated by the lack of patterns for the type of sweater that suited my style. I now feel so free to make whatever suits me in my exact size. The instructions are perfect for us "visual learners" - very clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book.
Summary of Teach Yourself Visually Knitting Design: Working from a Master Pattern to Fashion Your Own Knits (Teach Yourself Visually)
There are lots of stylish knitting patterns out there, but sometimes you want to do your own thing. Maybe you've found a yarn that would make a beautiful hat, and all you need are basic directions for shaping. Or maybe you've had your eye on a cute sweater in a store window and know that you can make a better version yourself—if you could only figure out the measurements. This handy guide demystifies all that knitting math and shows you how to knit custom-fitted, one-of-a-kind fashions that express your style. Master patterns for hats, sweaters, scarves, shawls, bags, mittens, vests, and socks lay out the basic construction for each item in a range of sizes; you choose the yarn and decide which modifications and customizations you want to make.Precise master patterns show you all the steps involved in constructing handknits
