How to adjust standard size patterns to fit your unique measurements. Designer Margaret Hubert has these techniques for years to teach classes on custom fitting.

You can add individual details and give your crocheted creations personal style. Diagrams and illustrations explain body shapes and make comparing measurements simple. Step-by-step photography shows the details for garment construction, specific increases, decreases and other shaping methods, as well as finishing techniques and embellishments.
