This is the best pattern book I have ever purchased. Allows to you create your own sweater patterns. You can pick the style you want, with the yarn you want. Probably not good for an new knitter, but if you like to alter and adjust your patterns, this helps do it with ease. Show many styles of sweaters with instructions from 36" bust to 54" with you choice of yarn. (You pick 3 sts per inch to 7 sts per inch.) It is great I would never trade it, however if you are ordering something from my bookshelf I will send you a copy of a few pages. Just let me know a little about what you want to knit so I can send the right pages.

One of my favorite go to books when I need calculate stitches for a new design or for tweaking an existing design to my needs. Ann does a great job explaining the basics of design, and then lays out the essential sweater types together with stitches needed for a variety of sizes for men, women and children. Definately an essential book!
