Product Overview
Knit to Flatter is about celebrating the body you have been given and creating sweaters that make you look and feel great. Part instruction manual and part pattern collection, Knit to Flatter teaches you how to assess your shapetop-heavy, bottom-heavy, or proportional and then knit accordingly. With a great sense of fun and acceptance, Amy Herzog presents silhouettes and styles that work with each body shape, along with four ideal sweater patterns per category. She then provides patterns for 10 more sweaters with guidelines for customizing, so they can be tailored to flatter. Each pattern is written in up to 10 sizes, and the garments are photographed on models with genuine curves. No smoke and mirrors here. Just real beauty!

Every knitter that knits sweaters should own this book.The feeling of this book is 100% body positive. Go buy it already! Knitty.com
I feel like this book is one that is so needed right now. There are so many luscious knitwear patterns being designed and released these days, its easy to rush into knitting everything that is popular. I know Ive been guilty of that, and then disappointed in the end when the finished garment made me embarrassed to wear it in public. Getting more guidance on what styles would be more suitable seems like the smartest thing to do before investing a good chunk of change in a sweaters worth of yarn.Sweet Georgia Yarns
