Figure Flattering Knits: Slimming Knit Sweater Patterns, Vests, and More

January 9, 2014 by AllFreeKnitting

January is always a time of extreme exercise schedules and crazy diet plans as people try to quickly shed their holiday “fluff.” Even if you’re not participating in the get-fit craze, it’s impossible to ignore. Gym membership deals are blared from every radio station, diet pills are broadcast on every television channel, and work-out apparel is displayed on every billboard. The start of the New Year isn’t supposed to be stressful, it’s supposed to be an opportunity for change and growth. So, if you are hopping on the get-fit bandwagon, let AllFreeKnitting help you out!

Figure Flattering KnitsWhether or not you’re trying to lose a few pounds, the key to getting healthy is to have a positive attitude. The clothes that you wear and the way you feel wearing them makes a huge difference. Believe it or not, wearing fitted clothes makes you look slimmer than a loose-fitting top. This year, don’t hide underneath baggy clothes, pull out your knitting needles and whip out some fitted, figure flattering knits!

One of the most intimidating things about knitting a sweater is the fit, and the fact that you can’t really know how your project is going to look on you until it is cast off and blocked.  Even though knitting a sweater can be a bit of a risk, there are things you can do to ensure that you end up with a fabulous sweater that fits you like a glove.  Amy Herzog’s Knit to Flatter is a premier guide that will help you navigate the sometimes murky waters of sweater construction.
