Knit Big

Nina Birkeland

With Knit Big, it will no longer be challenging to find knitting patterns for flattering knit pieces in sizes XL (44) and up to 5XL (52). Author and knitting designer Nina Birkeland has created these patterns to fit perfectly, regardless of size and shape. Knitting larger items takes time, and yarn costs money. Therefore, the book presents 32 models with three different body shapes, straight, A-shape and over-size, so you can easily find the models you know will fit you. Tables help you follow your size throughout the pattern. The book also has a section with general advice and tips on how to easily adjust the model you want to suit your body exactly. In Knit Big there are patterns for sweaters, jackets and vests for everyday wear.
