The Knitter's Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters: Basic Designs in Multiple Sizes and Gauges

by Ann Budd

Created for knitters who want standard sweater patterns in a variety of sizes and gauges, as well as those who want a template from which to develop their own designs, this book provides easy-to-follow charted instructions for 18 sweaters. Each style is then provided in 15 sizes ranging from toddler to large adult, then further divided into six possible gauges: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 stitches per inch. That's 90 options for each of the six styles, or 540 patterns in all. Cardigan and neckline variations make for more than 1,000 patterns. This is an essential resource for the sweater knitter!
