Many knitters think "I am not
yet good enough or experienced enough
to knit with a good quality yarn"
this a fallacy because it is much easier
to work with a good quality. AND, if
something goes wrong it can be
unravelled and re-knitted even after
washing and steam ironing as I myself
experienced with design 75 in MAESTRO.
Having made a mistake in the calculation
for all the raglan shaping, after
washing and steam ironing, I unravelled
up to the beginning of the raglan and
re-knitted it - not a trace of it on the
finished garment!
Knowing how to cast-on, cast-off,
putting on hold, increasing and
decreasing is basically all that is
required to knit most of the garments
featured.
In addition, for some designs only,
knowledge of plating and
transferring stitches from ribber to
main bed correctly is required
(transferring stitches on the single bed
is basic knowledge of increasing and
decreasing!). For that reason there are
some step-by-step patterns available, as
is for
instance for design 75 - describing
precisely (all supported with diagrams) how to work all the
increases and decreases and more for ribber work.
Besides no fancy or complicated stitch
patterns are required to compensate for
the yarn quality - the simplest of
patterns will look good.

Included with the diagrams are the measurements, number of rows and amount of stitches at any particular stage of the knitting; this allows the knitter to identify at a glace important and relevant details.
Almost all patterns are in four knitwear sizes: small, medium, large and extra large. Some patterns include instructions for extra extra large - up to 126 cm (49 to 50") bust.
