Book #2 -- All Sizes Head to Toe

And Everything In Between -- 40 page book or CD
(state preference with order), $15.00 post paid

Have you ever tried to knit a sweater for some one you can't measure? Maybe a grandchild in a distant city? Here's your answer. If you can find height and weight, you can follow the charts to find the average body measurements.

Baby sizes, caps, mittens, socks and shoe sizes -- just about every measurement you could ever want to know can be found somewhere in this book.

  • Measurement tables include babies, toddlers, children, misses, women, young men, and adult men to size 52 inch chest.
  • You will find all in one volume some of the hard to find measurements and diagrams for mittens and gloves, caps, shoes and socks.
  • Ease allowances are examined in detail. Industrial grading is described, but not covered in detail.
  • Easy to use measurement charts are not copyrighted. You may copy the blank page before using it so that you have charts for family members and so on.
  • Measurements of body areas are related to pattern pieces. This feature is especially helpful when you are designing your own garment.
  • Addresses and phone numbers for government and private agencies involved in determining standard sizes. Sources for additional information.

 This book is the foundation volume for Book #5, a work book on pattern drafting.
