Old but Gold--You'll never NEED a pattern again,
This review is from: The Complete Book of Progressive Knitting (Hardcover)
If you would like to knit & design your own garments, this is the perfect book. Ms. Duncan includes "formulas" for shaping every conceivable neckline, sleeve, or garment possible. I believe this is the very first place that knitting a raglan from the top down was "documented". Patterns are included which illustrate the formulas. Naturally, those garments are vintage. I bought my first copy during the "counter culture" of the 1970s. I'm now on copy 3. My knitting library runs to well over 100 books (& several pc programs) but I still turn to this book to figure out how to set in a sleeve or the formula for a high round neck. You will not find knitting in the round or drop shoulder sweaters here but this is a minor omission.
