Perfect fit instead of standard size – knitting sweaters for your own body measurements Who does not know: You see a great knitting manual, the stitch sample fits, you knit – only to find after many knitting hours that the sweater does not fit. Knitting designer and fit mentor Claudia Eisenkolb solves this problem with her knitting book “Customised”: She explains what makes a perfectly seated knit sweater and how you can already tell from the knit pattern whether the sweater construction fits your own figure. Step by step, she then shows how to adjust knitting instructions to your own measurements – not only on the chest circumference, waist and hip, but also on the length of the upper body, the arms and many other measurements, which ensure that clothes fit us less well and sometimes perfectly.

• Finally, an upper part that fits me! The established knitting course by Claudia Eisenkolb is now finally in book form!
• Sweaters knitted in one piece: All models are knitted from top to bottom (top down)
• Five basic models as basic knitting pattern: sweaters with circular pass, saddle shoulder, raglan construction, continuous shoulder or with sleeve and arm ball inserted
• Selection of the appropriate shoulder construction the knitting instructions can be individualized: So you can knit the models with waist or as a straight sweater, and with the most different sleeve variants.

Adjusting or redesigning knitting patterns: step by step to a perfectly fitting sweater Whether you prefer knitting the raglan or prefer the round pass: With the tips and tricks "Custom knitted" You can adapt any knitting instructions for sweaters to your own body. The basics from this book are explained on sweaters, but can also be knitted on the sweater or on cardigans. Thanks to the »Module Principle« of the instructions, the basic models can be redesigned with different design elements. Once you understand the basic principle, you will never knit a sweater that does not fit! Whether you have knitted only a few sweaters so far or have years of experience with them: In this knitting book you are guaranteed to find the right model and the right instructions for your taste and your knitting level!
