Ever had one of these experiences?

  • your size is not included in the pattern
  • your size is often not quite right for some of your dimensions
  • you want to spread your wings and create that idea you have in your head, but don’t know how to start?
  • you want to make that baby pattern as an adult sweater (or vice versa)
  • you want to convert a pattern from fingering weight yarn to chunky?
Then learning to percentage knit is for you! The Percentage Sweater ebook is a set of 3 sweaters, which gradually increase in the options they offer to customize a basic pattern using your growing understanding of ease and how to apply it practically when creating a sweater.

Ratio is the first of the 3 patterns in the ebook and is the simplest knit, designed as an introduction to this way of knitting to fit and as a #sizeinclusive recipe pattern. It is knit flat and seamed (the other 2 patterns in the book are top down in the round and will be released in coming weeks - pictures can be see on the source page).

You simply measure yourself (or use standard sizing info ) and knit to your size plus a % of ease, working out your own stitch numbers. Worked examples are provided throughout to make it simple.

The pattern will show your your key measurements and how to take them.

Pattern contains
written instructions and body schematics. Full worked examples and links to helpful resources.
