Free up your knitting and let your creativity flow while still making perfectly fitted garments with these fully customizable knitting patterns.

• This template-based approach is not math-dependent and will work for you, whether you prefer a structured or more freeform process.
• Knit in New Directions introduces techniques which encourage you to just have fun, try strip knitting, creative short rows, patchwork, crazy quilt, and free-form knitting.

Then play with the other essential tool--full-scale templates.

• Learn how to use the templates in the book and how to modify them to your own measurements.
• The garments are designed to show off each technique and template with two options.
• The 'Guided Tour' gives you full instructions for specific sizes as well as measure-as-you go versions.
• In the 'Alternative Routes', the template functions like a coloring book to allow you to create completely new designs.
• Plus practical advice for how to achieve the best fit and finish for each design from blocking, to a special stitch for seaming, and edge and embellishment options.
