You can crochet and knit perfectly fitting garments you’ll love to wear. This book will show you how.
If you dream of crocheting and knitting your own sweater, Tian Connaughton, expert designer and technical editor, shares the secrets she’s learned over the years.
From her experience designing sweaters for popular mainstream publications and making garments for herself, she reveals the steps to achieving your perfect fit every time.
Connaughton offers in-depth but approachable information on swatching, ease and fit, understanding schematics, how to use math to make calculations to modify existing patterns, and more.
In addition, Cardigans For Every Body includes four (4) cardigan patterns (2 crochets and 2 knits) and dozens of step-by-step calculations to help you develop a strong understanding of modifying any pattern to your perfect fit.
Tian Connaughton is an expert knit and crochet designer, technical editor, author, business coach, and course creator who thinks about and approaches the fiber industry differently.
Since leaving the corporate world behind, she’s built a business around creativity, and craft, and helping women, particularly women of color, build profitable and sustainable businesses.
Tian has developed courses and programs to help designers, tech editors, and fiber artists at all levels, whether they are just starting or ready to expand, reach their goals.
Her work includes Pattern Partnership, a membership program that supports crochet and knitwear designers with designing, launching, and growth.
Tian is the creator behind Get Published, a free video course created in collaboration with Knit Picks and We Crochet to help aspiring knit and crochet pattern designers navigate the world of submitting, designing, editing, publishing, and so much more.
She also has a course to teach designers to grade patterns like a pro and an 8-week tech editing program teaching the fundamentals of editing patterns and marketing to land clients.
Praise for CARDIGANS FOR EVERY BODY: BECAUSE EVERY BODY IS WORTHY
"WOW!! I learned so much. Bravo! If your body has ever stopped you from making a garment you NEED this book. It’s raw, it’s real, it’s informative and inspiring all at once. I was today years old when I learned I needed this book in my life. Tian has taken a touchy subject and made it tangible in a comfortable manner."
