THE ANSWER LADY'S MACHINE KNITTING NOTEBOOK
|
A progressive machine knitting course. The notebook begins with a master pattern for a basic drop shoulder crew neck sweater. 7 additional chapters describe how to make the sweater into a cardigan, make it short sleeved, sleeveless [or a vest], add a dart, add a cable, add a keyhole front, and change from basic dropped to modified dropped shoulders. Every chapter adds an option to the basic pattern and describes new techniques. The master pattern is written for light worsted weight yarn and can be knitted on mid-gauge, bulky and Bond-type machines. You'll never need another pattern--just keep on adapting this one for predictable results every time!
The entire collection is now available at a bargain price of $20.
If you would rather buy only a few chapters, you may e-mail your request and I can invoice you. The master pattern is $12 and each additional chapter is $4.

MASTER PATTERN includes finished chest sizes 20-52 to fit infants thru extra large adults. Largest sizes may require more needles than are present on some machines but may be knitted in panels. Pattern is unisex. Directions included for ribbed or rolled hems and necklines. Skills explained include: e-wrap, backstitch, holding stitches, use of waste yarn, ravel cord weaving in ends and more. Pattern is beginner friendly. More advanced knitters may enjoy it as a canvas upon which to try picture knitting, embroidery, duplicate stitch and applique.
