Big Girl Knits: 25 Projects Shaped for Real Women

This First Edition hardcover copy of "Big Girl Knits" by Jillian Moreno and Amy R. Singer is a groundbreaking resource for knitters looking to create stylish, well-fitting garments for curvy figures. Released in 2006, this book was among the first to move beyond simple "plus-size" patterns, focusing instead on proportion, silhouette, and flattering design specifically for "real women with real curves". ​The book features 25 projects ranging from sweaters to cardigans, accompanied by high-quality photography by Bill Milne. It is highly regarded for its educational content, including detailed schematics and charts designed to help you customize patterns to your unique measurements. ​Key Details: ​Title: Big Girl Knits ​Authors: Jillian Moreno and Amy R.
