Fashion design students with basic patternmaking skills and practicing designers now have a resource for designing cut-and-sew knitwear. With a grounding in the properties of stretch fabrics introduced in this text, the reader can design a variety of garments for women and men, including tops, pants, skirts, dresses, leotards, and one- and two-piece swimsuits. Diagrams illustrate step-by-step instructions for developing slopers for different stretch ratios, and for adjusting patterns to produce a correct fit. Pattern variations show the designer how to create fashions that appeal to contemporary tastes in knitwear.
