Custom-knitted

The SPIEGEL bestseller “Made-to-measure”: Perfect fit instead of standard size – knit sweaters for your own body measurements.

Who hasn't experienced this: You see a great knitting pattern, the gauge is right, you start knitting - only to find out after many hours of knitting that the sweater doesn't fit.

Knitwear designer and fit mentor Claudia Eisenkolb solves this problem with her knitting book "Maßgestrickt": She explains what makes a perfectly fitting knitted sweater and how you can tell from the knitting pattern whether the sweater construction suits your figure.

Step by step, she then shows how to adapt knitting patterns to your own measurements – not just to your chest, waist, and hips, but also to the length of your torso, arms, and many other measurements that make clothes sometimes fit us less well and sometimes perfectly.

• Finally a top that fits me!«: Claudia Eisenkolb's established knitting course is now finally available in book form!
• Knit sweater in one piece: All models are knitted from top to bottom (top down)
• Five basic models as basic knitting patterns: Sweater with round yoke, saddle shoulder, raglan construction, contiguous shoulder or with set-in sleeve and armhole
• After choosing the appropriate shoulder construction, the knitting instructions can be individualized: You can knit the models with a waist or as a straight sweater, and with a wide variety of sleeve variations.

Adjusting or redesigning knitting patterns: Step by step to a perfectly fitting sweater.

No matter whether you prefer raglan knitting or round yoke knitting: With the tips and tricks from "Made to Measure" you can adapt any knitting pattern for a sweater to your own body.
Although the basics in this book are explained using sweaters, they can also be applied to pullovers or cardigans.

Thanks to the "modular principle" of the instructions, the basic models can be redesigned again and again with different design elements. Once you understand the basic principle, you'll never knit a sweater that doesn't fit!

No matter whether you have only knitted a few sweaters before or have years of experience: In this knitting book you are guaranteed to find the right model and the right instructions for your taste and knitting level!

We definitely recommend buying it!
