Overview

Design + knit sweaters that fit + flatter

Knitting Plus is the must-have manual for plus-sized sweater construction and knitwear design. With this helpful guide, you’ll learn how to design wearable, tailor-made sweaters.

With Knitting Plus, you’ll explore basic pullover and cardigan sweater construction styles from raglans and set-in sleeves to drop shoulders, seamless yokes, and dolmans. Knitting Plus explains each specific sweater element and then offers key tips for plus-sized knitting. Included throughout are simple versions of each construction type as easy-to-reference templates so you can quickly adapt and alter each sweater for a custom fit.

An invaluable reference about fit and shape, Knitting Plus includes 18 irresistible designs by a variety of designers including Mandy Moore, Lisa R. Myers, Lou Schiela, Katya Wilsher, and Kathy Zimmerman, as well as Lisa’s designs. Each pattern offers a broad range of sizes and instructions for bust sizes from about 44 to 56 inches. Packed with design information and ready-to- knit patterns, Knitting Plus is your go-to technique and design reference for customizing patterns to fit all sizes.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Plus-size knitting books are few and far between, and many plus-size knitting patterns resemble large, shapeless sacks. Shroyer (editor, Knitscene magazine), fills the gap with this collection of plus-size knitwear tips, tricks, and patterns. The information about sweater sizing, fit, and components isn't just for plus-sized garments. The patterns are organized by shape and style, so knitters can choose the silhouette that best flatters their own figure. A wide range of sizes is presented (XL-5X), and the designs range from simple pullovers to striking Fair Isle and Aran-inspired garments. This is the collection that style-conscious plus-size knitters have been waiting for—beautiful patterns plus essential information on fit.
