This book teaches how to follow the author’s diagrams-recipes and create cardigans, pullovers, hoodies, using the hook, the yarn, and the stitch you want to use.
You work from diagrams that serve as your roadmap and show how the sweater would look if it were spread out flat and without underarm side seams.
Shape and silhouette variations and custom fit are achieved by varying the length or width of the various sections and sleeves.
The author includes specific patterns/diagrams to achieve different neckline shapes. Each shape requires the crocheter to measure 5 or 6 elements such as length of sweater from shoulder to hem.
The author suggests that an easy place to start is to use her techniques to create a doll / teddy sweater.
