Knit To Flatter
£10.23
Amy Herzog's primary focus in writing this book is to teach knitters how to assess their own body shapes: top heavy bottom heavy or proportional & then knit accordingly. The concept for the book began as a series of blog posts. Fans of the blog encouraged Amy to continue fleshing out this concept so she went on to create ten tutorials that give knitters the tools & techniques they need to create flattering garments. & now she has combined her tutorials with more than 20 new patterns & turned it all into a book. In Knit to Flatter Herzog provides guidelines for silhouettes & styles that work with each body shape along with three or four sweater patterns per shape category. She then provides patterns for 10 additional sweaters & guidelines for customising each one of them to flatter each body shape. Each pattern is written in up to ten sizes & garments are photographed on models with a variety of body shapes to keep the whole presentation real. No smoke & mirrors here. Just real beauty! ...
