"A knitter's delight...indispensable" - Product Description

From the Publisher: This one of a kind guide opens the door to endless creativity by enabling you to make virtually any sweater in any gauge. Here you'll find over 20,000 different sweater possibilities - you'll never need to refer to another sweater pattern again. All the basic sweater patterns are here, and each one can be made in any yarn, from very fine to very bulky. Barbara Goldstein shows how to determine the right amount of yarn to buy, combine different yarns, add stripes to a sweater, use fancy pattern stitches, and more. Detailed instructions help you check size as you work, so there are no disappointing surprises when projects are completed. Fully illustrated with black & white and color photographs. Charts, drawings, diagrams.

A book every knitter needs

This book is for every person who has spent hours knitting swatches, trying to match your gauge with those of the directions, or, disregarding that frustrating step, knit away and ended up with too long sleeves, too tight body, and a neck opening your head won't fit through: this book lets your gauge match the pattern! A unique system of inserting stiches into patterns based on your gauge, it is a book we frustrated knitters have longed for. Any size needles, any type of yarn, make ONE swatch: select the style sweater, follow the chart provided(fully explained)and start knitting.

The PERFECT book for crocheted or knitted sweaters.

This is an amazing book. You can truly crochet or knit any sweater with any yarn in any gauge successfully with this book. A real bonus book for those 'yarn-aholics' out there who love to collect yarns, then decide they need to make something out of all that yarn. :-)
