A collection of 25 larger size, loose fitting designer patterns, this book makes available the possibility of designer knitwear patterns for women, whatever their shape or size. The designs are for sweaters, skirts and cardigans, catering specifically for women size 16 and over. Beginners and experienced knitters alike should find something to choose from the collection, whether the straightforward chunky knits, or the more complicated Fair Isles and cables. Natural yarns such as cottons, wools, and mohair available from Rowan yarns are used, and the designs are grouped thematically. Dawn French, from TV's "French and Saunders", models the clothes which are designed by Sylvie Soudan, and other designers such as Jasper Conran and Betty Jackson.
