Episode 7 - Question and Answer - Fit Grab Bag

Listen Later

This week we're tackling four questions about handknit sweater fit from watchers/listeners:


  • How to accommodate hips without adopting A-line shaping (thanks Tonya!)
  • Talk about math on top-down raglans and dig into neckline shaping (thanks Fran!)
  • A demo of why adding rows in the back of the yoke of a sweater is NOT the same as working neckline shaping using short rows
  • Perfect fit for intentionally oversized garments (thanks Jackie!)
  • How to adjust patterns when your breasts are in the "wrong" place (Thanks Jess!)
  • Should you work a shorter bust adjustment in an oversized garment?


    • Next episode we'll be talking even more about fitting breasts, and digging into Bess' bralette pattern.

    We'd love to invite you to chime in on the comments section - do you think you'll try any of these strategies? Do you have follow up questions? Let us know!
