Mix and Match Knit Sweater Designs Summary

Mix and Match Knit Sweater Designs: Choose your favorite neckline, sleeve length, fit and style, stitch patterns, & so much more * Over 70,000 possible combinations by Rita Maassen

Knit the sweaters of your dreams!

Rita Maassen's easy-to-use system for interchanging the elements of basic sweater designs is genius and will have you making sweater after sweater to your own specifications. The book begins with six basic pullover designs, then the author explains her system for mixing the elements - necklines, armhole style, silhouette, colour and texture patterns - and gives you the instructions for each different design element. Finally, she puts her system into practice in 23 unique sweater designs, giving the full instructions for each. You may then either follow these patterns as written, or do your own mixing and matching to create your own unique sweater pattern. Over 70,000 different sweaters are possible with the options presented!

Mix and Match Knit Sweater Designs Reviews

The designs in this beautiful book are modern, simple and are all oh so gorgeous!

I love the concept of being able to decide what collar you like, what length sleeves you prefer and being able to create a unique and wearable garment that you have made yourself.

The sweaters are basic designs, of which there are six to choose from. You then choose what your specifications are and use the pattern provided. These can then create 23 designs, but over 70,000 different sweaters can be made using the various changes that have been selected.

Mix and Match is an easy to understand guide, and while you do need to be able to knit, a few basic knitting tutorial pages are included that will help a new knitter to learn. Filled with inspiration, the sweaters are photographed beautifully. The colours chosen for the designs are perfect for chilly days.

Perfect for every knitter.

What an informative book for knitters who would like to tweak or create their own designs. Rita outlines all the basic jumpers patterns and shows how they can be changed to suit the person's needs. I love the idea of lace sleeves and borders against a stocking stitch body of a jumper.

The book will let your imagination go wild and give the confident knitter the opportunity to experiment. Whether you like crew, v neck, boat neck or rolled necked tops for a jumper, it is now your decision and then you can progress to a cable, textured, plain or lace body and sleeves. Hems can also be varied, so to make things a bit different why not try a cable hem and cuffs instead of the usual rib?

Buy the book and start being more creative with confidence.
