A great selection of basic knit tops. LOVE the wide range of sizes and instructions for various yarn weights for patterns. Not for new knitters, but if you have one or two simple garments under your belt and want to expand your knowledge, this is a great book to get.

**I received this copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

Great reference work for someone who wants a recipe for all kinds of sweaters (and cardigans) knit in one piece. The only type of sweater that isn't referenced in this sweater is the contiguous sleeve method. This would be a good book for people who want a basic sweater template for yarn they have on hand (since the author gives numbers of stitches for multiple weights of yarn) and/or want a canvas for interesting stitches to incorporate on the base pattern. If you want a sweater book full of very exciting designs, this is probably not for you. But if you want a standard recipe to try out or extrapolate, this is a great book.

The Complete Guide to One-Piece Knits is a comprehensive book for making hand knit sweaters. It is a very knitter friendly book. It is also very well organized, providing basic Information including charts for Children’s, Women’s, and Men’s sweaters in different weight yarns, sizes and gauges. This is a must have book for every knitter’s library.

Unfortunately (and sadly), I wasn't able to access this manuscript.

Unfortunately, I personally did not find this book easy to follow, I also though that whilst knitting a jumper or cardigan in one piece, would save time, would prove a very large project. But apart from that, I did not like the additions of the size graphs, although some knitters would probably find these easier and more useful at a quick glance, rather then find the information in the pattern.
What I did like was that the basic patters could be adapted to a personal design easily, making the knitter their own designer of the garment

Knitters will love this book! I requested an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review and for someone who is interested in knitting and wanted to try out new patterns of different sizes, this book was a great guide.

Oh my, you want a complete book that gives you instructions on how to knit one piece knits then this is your book. The author gives you children, womans (small to 5xl), & mens. I can not wait to try some of these out. I wanna make one of each of the styles (Top Down, Side Over, and Back to Front). I can not wait to dig my needles into them. Margaret Hubert gives you detailed size charts and instructions for each size and type.

If you knit and want to knit clothing then you need this book. Well written, lovely photos, and even better instructions.

I'm a knitter, but I've never tried a sweater before. This book's easy to understand charts and directions make me think that I can do this. It is very informative & gives variations on each theme so you have plenty of choices. As a 'bigger woman" I love that sizes for women go up to 5x & 2x for men. I was given the opportunity to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley and the publisher.

This is great for the family knitter. Basic simplified instructions for sweaters for all, children, ladies and men. Very good instructions with pictures. Varied takes on each piece. Good overall for your basic constructions.

I received an ARC of this book to read from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. The Complete Guide toOne-piece Knits by Margaret Hubert is an excellent resource book for those of us who hate sewing up their sweaters. When I am done knitting I want the sweater to be done. Margaret gives instructions for sweaters that will fit almost anyone from size 2 children’s up to 6X adult in several different yarn weights as well. Most of the sweaters are knit top down on circular needles therefore eliminating my dreaded seams. She also does several sweaters knit from the bottom back up over the shoulders and down the front, you will have side seams in these sweaters but it’s an interesting technique I look forward to trying. I think this book would be a wonderful addition to any knitters reference library. Publishing Date April 3, 2018

A nicely composed guide to one-piece knitting, Hubert provides accessible charts for most common sizes, as well as cleanly list examples. While her examples look more homespun than elegant--a lot of lime green in this one--it's a handy guide for novice knitters, and a decent reference for intermediates.

A most useful volume for experienced, adventurous knitters. Just the tool to use to create very individual designs.

If you want to knit sweaters and only wanted ONE book to guide you through it, I would say that THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO ONE-PIECE KNITS is your answer. It contains a basic pattern for top-down raglan sweaters, top-down yoke sweaters, back-to-front sweaters and side-over sweaters, while also giving adjustments for every size between a child's size 2 to a men's size 2x (and women's size 5x). It gives estimated yarn amounts for DK/Sport, Worsted/Aran, and Bulky weight yarns, as well as how to make adjustments to each pattern to accommodate the different gauges. Basically, it really is the all informative book that would allow a knitter the chance to create their own patterns based on a basic pattern, as well as being an amazing guide to any one-piece sweater.

Essential Designs in Multiple Sizes and Gauges for Sweaters Knit Top Down, Bottom Up, and Side-Over

Was happy to get an early copy of this book. There is so much to it!
Lots of pictures of items that are being made. Appeal of knitting in one piece by using a choice of 4 diffeerent styles: raglan style, yoke style, side to side and from bottom up over the shoulders and down the bottom front.
Charted instructions using the tecniques in multiple sizes, yarn weights and guages. For example one sweater has sizes that range from a child size 2 through man's 2 X and using yarn weights from #3 to #5 yarns. There is also a FAQ about making sweaters in one piece.
There are charts for every size available, charts for yarn weights, gaugest and needle sizes, yarn amounts and tips on how to finish the item.
Abbrecviations used are included. Diagrams of the sweaters showing all the pieces giving you tips about certain sections.
Thing I do not like about this method is that everything is charted due to all the sizes that are available. I think I would rewrite the size I am making so I don't get lost in the charts at any point in time.
Tells you how many stsithces to cast on, how long ribbing is and how to place markers and at what point. After that set of instructions new charts using new yarns are given in their own chart formats.
Bit confusing to me, rather see it spelled out in words and separated by ,'s for each size.
What I do like is at each new section of sweater types the skill level is shown, sizes and yarn to be used and needles and gauages. If you are a new knitter and opened this book you'd probably put it down as all you'd see are the charts and not quite understand what's going on.
I think it would just take me a bit of time to get used to this new format of a pattern.
There are very easy to understand patterns and lots of color photos.
Yoke and some other type sweaters are written out row by row using old format of patterns.
Other emblishments are explained at the end. Author bio included.
Because of the different format that you are used to seeing I hope you give this book a chance-it's an excellent resource because of the yarns, needles, sizes, sweater styles available.
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
Received this review copy from Quarto Publishing Group - Creative Publishing International via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion.

Since Ann Budd's The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns was published knitter's have been waiting for another book like it. One that give basic construction information and charts for multiple sizes and gauges and then lets the knitter's creative juices take over. Like Ann Budd, Margaret Huber, has included sample patterns to show beginners what can be done with each design type. Huber includes many tricks, tips , and advice on each construction method which helps when choosing where to begin. This is a must have book for every fiber artist.

An excellent guide on charming and timeless knits! Found it a very comprehensive guide that clearly outlines measurements, terminology, and instructions. I've been knitting for about two years now and this guide certainly has inspired me to evolve my knitting techniques.

If you're looking for your typical knitting book with lots of great patterns and beautiful scenic photos, this is not the book for you. This is very much as advertised a guide for a few basic sweater patterns for all sizes. It's up to you to let your imagination run wild because with each pattern is the stitch count of each size with each different yarn weight.. This is a great book if you can take a very basic pattern and look into the future and see what it might become. As for me I like seeing the finished products and even then have trouble deciding which beautiful yarn to use with which product. But if you are someone just waiting to let your imagination run wild this book will be most helpful in getting you started. I only wish I could see your finished products!! Thanks as always for the preview copy #NetGalley.

I love this book! The book has a variety of sizes from children's sizes to adult 5x! There are four basic sweater patterns, each with several add-on variations to spice things up! The charts are well written and easy to follow, as are the written directions for the variations. The best thing is, the charts are also set up for three different weights of yarn, DK or light weight yarn, worsted and bulky! You can re-make these sweaters for different seasons and it's the same basic pattern!

The sweaters look really nice, and the best part, is no setting in the sleeves, which is what one-piece knitting is all about. I really enjoyed the way the book is laid out and it seems like the patterns are even appropriate for an adventurous beginner. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in making a good looking sweater in one piece. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

One-Piece Knits by Margaret Hubert explains the principles of constructing sweaters and cardigans knit top down, side to side, and back to front. For each, the author gives instructions for child’s sizes, women’s sizes, and men’s sizes worked in dk, worsted and bulky yarns. I loved the way the manual used charts to give the knitting instructions, expected yarn usage, etc. In addition to the principles of construction, the book contains patterns illustrating how the construction works. I really like this book.

Beautiful book! Besides several patterns in different styles, it includes a lot of charts so that knitters can create their own individual sweater.
