Personalize any knitting pattern for a perfect fit and style all your own, with expert help from Margaret Hubert!Designers have to create knitting patterns in standard sizes, but very few people actually match up to those "average" measurements. Body shapes vary, weight fluctuates, and good fit means different things to different people; so what is a knitter to do?Customize Your Knitting teaches you how to adjust standard patterns to fit your unique measurements. Through techniques that Margaret Hubert has used for years to teach classes on custom fitting, you can learn to adjust patterns for a perfect fit for yourself or someone else. Yarn shop instructors can use the book to teach classes for their customers.However, fit is just one part of customizing a garment. Maybe you'd like that neckline a little higher, or you'd like a little flare to the sleeves. How about adding subtle shaping to the waist on a boxy but otherwise perfect sweater pattern? How about adding a polo-style button placket to that plain crew-neck sweater? Or add a sporty buttoned pocket to a sleeve for carrying your iPhone. It's easy to add your personal style with Margaret's tips.Diagrams and illustrations throughout the book will help you understand body shapes and easily compare measurements. Garment construction, specific increases, decreases, and other shaping methods, as well as finishing techniques and embellishments are all explained and photographed clearly. Make every project perfectly tailored to you!

Für die meisten Strick-Fans ist der unbeliebteste Schritt beim Pullover Stricken das Zusammennähen der Teile. Autorin Margaret Hubert bietet mit den Strickanleitungen in "Am Stück Gestrickt" eine Lösung dafür!Das Buch zeigt, wie man klassische Strickpullis und Cardigans anhand von drei Methoden fast ohne Naht strickt:- Von oben nach unten: Beginn am Halsausschnitt für Raglanmodelle und Modelle mit Passe- Seitlich gestrickt: von einem Ärmelsaum zum anderen- Von hinten nach vorn: vom hinteren bis zum vorderen Saum; für die Ärmel werden an den Schultern Maschen aufgenommenDabei machen tabellarische Strick-Anleitungen für vier verschiedene Grundmodelle das Umrechnen bzw. Anfertigen von unterschiedlichen Größen spielend leicht. Die Größentabellen reichen von Kleinkind-Größen bis zu großen Erwachsenen-Maßen. Und weil jeder gerne unterschiedliche Wolle für seine selbstgestrickten Pullis verwendet, werden auch unterschiedliche Woll-Qualitäten und Garnstärken in den Strickanleitungen berücksichtigt. Für jedes Grundmodell und alle Größen gibt es jeweils eine Strickanleitung für verschiedene Garnstärken von dünn bis dick. Noch kreativere Möglichkeiten bieten die zu jedem Grundmodell vorgestellten drei Varianten, die mit Mustern, Farben und Details wie Halsausschnitt oder Ärmeln spielen. Hilfreiche Tipps zu verschiedenen Strick-Grundtechniken helfen insbesondere noch nicht so erfahrenen Stricker/innen, den Einstieg zu finden.
