How To Combine Knitting
and Fabric &
Make Your Own Patterns and Garments
Expand your knitting talent, and design your
own knitted garments. We've re-published government information that was originally
available in 1966 from the Cooperative Extension Service, Oregon publication titled Knitting
- Creative Use of Leisure Time.
We've expanded the standard measurements chart
that's within this article to go up to women's size 24, and men's size 44, however, you
can use the standard measurements to make even larger sized garments by expanding it
yourself even further. We believe you'll find this article very useful for acquiring
garment knitting knowledge, whether you are a professional knitting designer or just want
to learn more about designing.

Fabric & Make Your Own Patterns and Garments article you will learn:
1. How to take measurements.
2. How to make your own patterns for a knitted garment.
3. How to make knitted trims and knitted bias.
4. How to shape shoulders by turning.
