Plaidypus is from my new book, The Knitter's Sweater Fitting Bible. All patterns in the book are true made-to-measure, mix and match templates, designed to work with any yarn, any gauge and any body measurements. Swatch, fill in the math and pattern templates and go!

About Plaidypus:
Plaidypus started with the yarn: a deep, multi-layered blue-purple that my husband dyed as a gift for me. It immediately needed to leap onto my needles and was perfect for a design in my sketchbook. The stitch pattern breaks up the colours in hand-dyed yarn and minimizes differences within a dye lot. The casual cardigan shape is relaxed and easy to wear.

About the pattern templates:
All patterns in The Knitter’s Sweater Fitting Bible are adaptable for every fit challenge I’ve imagined, including, but not limited to:  
* all gender bodies   
* every size and shape body   
* post-mastectomy bodies   
* limb differences   
* pregnancy/maternity fit   
* seated bodies   
* medical devices
