From soft and flowing sweaters to sophisticated, eye-catching eyelet tops, these fashionable and easy-to-make knits will flatter the larger figure. There's nothing drab and dull here: the simply beautiful garments come in bright colors and luxurious-looking yarns. With something for every season, too, bigger women won't ever have to depend on stores to find clothing that's chic and well-fitting. A brilliant True Blue pullover has a dynamic design, along with garter-stitched sleeves and raglan styling to accentuate the shoulders. The glamorous Fur Sure jacket uses rich red yarn and lush cables topped with a ready-made faux fur collar. Or knit casual cardigans, a Mexican-inspired top, and more.
I love to crochet and am learning to knit. This book has BEAUTIFUL knit patterns for all levels. However, there was only one crochet pattern that was no where near the level of skill required to crochet something beautiful. I felt like the pattern was included just to get a pattern included. Beautiful book for knitters. Not worth it if you are a crocheter.
great buy

lots of good pattern, my only negative is that the patterns are sometimes broken up so that only part of them are with the initial page (the rest are at the back of the book) Would have preferred for each patten to be together completely. Nice patterns

I got the book and thumbed through it a bit. The pictures do help; however, I would prefer to see the schematics/charts right next to the pattern instead of most of it being continued at the end of the book. It has a very good variety of sweaters I would wear; additionally, it includes some sweaters for men.
Great selection of Womanly sized knits!

This book is wonderful. It has a great range of styles for different body types and has something to flatter every figure, in the average woman's range. The patterns are wonderfully written and pictured in this book. The skill levels required for the patterns range from the easy to the experienced with a good number being intermediate but still easy enough to follow that a new knitter could attempt it. For these reasons I love this book and have recommended it to my friends who have purchased it as well!
