In the Author's Words.....
"First and foremost, saddle-style sweaters fit beautifully. Even when the garments are oversized, the have a well-engineered fit and look as if they were sculpted to fit the slope and breadth of the shoulders. Because the paired shoulder seams are a couple of inches below the actual shoulder, saddle-style garments contour to the body more easily. The overall effect is smooth and finely fitted. As an extra bonus, a saddle-style sweater also provides several design opportunities."(pg 6)

From the publisher..... "This book of easy-to-knit charted patterns features 12 sweaters made with one simple shape and method of construction. Working with a saddle-style construction as each garment's foundation, readers can create an assortment of unique sweaters for men, women, and children.

Each sweater features one or more innovative design variations, including different neckline treatments; band treatments; stitch patterning and textural details; gauge variations; yarn variations; colorwork and patterning; and an array of finishing details. All sweaters directions are written for garments with sizing that ranges from X Small to XX Large. The appendix helps machine knitters adapt the method so they can knit the sweaters by machine, too.

• This is the only book on the market to feature variations on this classic garment form -- made popular with the traditional Irish 'fisherman' sweaters, which are prized for their comfortable fit.
• This book teaches readers both to knit and design as they master -- and modify -- one simple silhouette to create twelve unique garments.
• Beginner knitters will find detailed instruction to create twelve successful garments; more advanced knitters will be inspired to create sophisticated variations by mixing and matching textures and techniques.
• This book is the second in the series, Twelve Sweaters One Way, which features a dozen design variations on simple knit shapes for men, women, and children."
