Ever had one of these experiences?

  • your size is not included in the pattern
  • your size is often not quite right for some of your dimensions,.
  • you want to spread your wings and create that idea you have in your head, but don’t know how to start?
  • you want to make that baby pattern as an adult sweater.
  • you want to convert a pattern from fingering weight yarn to chunky?

Then learning to percentage knit is for you! The percentage Sweater ebook is a set of 3 sweaters, which gradually increase in the options they offer to customize a basic pattern using your growing understanding of ease and how to apply it practically when creating a sweater.

Percentile is the most advanced of the 3 patterns in the ebook and, if you so desire, gives you the information to customize every aspect of fit. So, whether you want wider sleeves with a tighter chest, or just fancy a deeper armhole, or a narrower neck then the instructions will give you the power to achieve what you desire.

It is a #sizeinclusive recipe pattern which can be made in any size, no matter how large, small or unusual.
