    • Super helpful!!
This is the 3rd pattern design book I have owned, and definitely the overall best. One I have has too involved design procedures (but makes nice garments), and one has a too casual/sloppy approach. Amy's book is a nice middle ground - it simplifies, but without sacrificing fit. She tells how to take her basic patterns and modify them in a number of ways (necklines, hoods, etc), and has super info on modifying the overall shape of your sweater - very handy for we women. Lots of basic basic patterns provided, too, that you can modify to your own taste and needs. A winner! ... show more

    • Learn how knitting patterns are made
This is an excellent book if you want to understand or devise knitting patterns. It teaches the basic sweater types, how to taylor a pattern to your figure, and how to make the same pattern in different weight yarn. I found this very useful. Sometimes I just can't get the yarn I have to match the gauge. This book teaches how to adjust the pattern. The one thing I don't like is the electronic book format. I wish I'd just bought the paper version. I usually like ebooks because you can magnify. This ebook acts like it's just the pdf of the book. Once a page is magnified, you can't turn the page. In other words, it isn't scalable like other Kindle books. Frustrating. ... show more

    • Essential Reference for Every Knitter of Sweaters
This book is highly recommended for those knitters who are hoping to create a sweater that fits right. Often sweater patterns are written in multiple sizes, but when following a pattern there is always risk involved that the final product won't fit as hoped. This book not only helps the reader if they want to design a sweater from scratch, but it also helps if they want to modify an existing pattern, or simply check the progress of a pattern as written. I especially appreciate the photo reference of a regular person (Amy?) instead of a model with fictionally perfect measurements. I will use this book until the pages are dogeared & worn. Thank you for this well formatted helpful book! ... show more

    • Kindle edition problematic
Excellent book and patterns. I took a star off because the Kindle edition isn't well formatted. The pages are set so they appear with a large border on the top and bottom, like a wide-screen movie and font size is on the small side. Font size is not adjustable so you have to expand the entire page and then shrink it back in order to change pages. I imagine it was done this way because there are so many tables and charts. The index is also not linked so you can't say, select "applied I-cord" in the index and jump to the page. It doesn't ruin the book but it does make the book less convenient to use. ... show more

    • Finally! A guide to sweater pattern making I can understand
Review Image by GoodEatsAmy GoodEatsAmy
I've made Amy Herzog sweater patterns before and loved them, so this book looked intriguing and on a whim I bought it. Frankly, it exceeded my expectations. For background, I've never made my own sweater pattern and have only made minor modifications to existing patterns, but I've knit about 15 sweaters from pullovers to cardigans, fingering to bulky yarn. I am somewhat adventurous but follow patterns rigorously. I often wish for a certain type of pattern to create something out of wool in my stash only to be hampered by looking and looking for an appropriate pattern sometimes to no avail. Amy has done a fantastic job of explaining (in plain English) what everything means (positive ease, negative ease, why/when a set-in sleeve vs. a raglan) Take a real basic, how to make and measure a gauge swatch: her approach is so refreshing in which she explains how use your swatch and the way you knit to figure out how to make the pattern come out successfully (this is huge!). She begins with clear step-by-step instructions for 4 sweater types: drop-shoulder, raglan, yoke and set-in-sleeve. The instructions are concise but just right with excellent drawings to illustrate the points. She moves on from construction of these sweaters to making adjustments, then refining your work with embellishments and finally patterns that can be done in different weight yarns plus adding turtle necks or hoods. Amy makes suggestions for what kind of yarn weight and type (alpaca vs. light/heavy wool, etc.) work best for what type of sweater (yokes, for example, which she describes as "poncho-like", work differently than drop shoulder--clear if you stop and think about it but I hadn't). The light bulbs went off. With this book you can ensure a good fit of any pattern (we knew this was measuring and math but now it's clear what to measure (where and how) and then what to do with the measurements; modify existing patterns; or even confidently make your own pattern from scratch. I'm feeling very positive that the lovely spring green DK wool in my stash (for which no pattern has been suitable) will now get made soon thanks to Amy. ... show more

    • If you want to love the sweaters you knit, buy this book!
As always, Amy Herzog gives essential & clear information that truly empowers knitters to take charge of the sweater knitting process. Her unique blend of creativity & practical analysis shines in this new book. Although it contains some nice patterns, it is really about understanding sweater construction, & using the basic principles so they work for YOU & what you want to create & wear. Great book, & I think it’s a must-have for a knitter’s library. ... show more
