Screen Shots: SweaterMaker's 7 Body Styles
What do the screens on SweaterMaker look like? Here are some of the
pages you will see when you design any of the seven body styles that
SweaterMaker gives you automatically. (We would
have shown you more pages, but the page would take forever to load!)
 |
The Garment Information Pane
Also known as SweaterMaker's driver's seat.
How does it work? You fill out all the
fields for each sweater. SweaterMaker automatically recalculates the
sweater settings with every change. See the Dolman sweater below for the results of
the settings on this page. |

|
 |
Body Style 1: the Set-in Sleeve
This is the front of a set-in sleeve sweater. As with all
SweaterMaker screens, you can "grab" each of the red boxes with your
mouse, drag the box to a new location, and drop it. SweaterMaker
automatically adjusts all instructions and shaping to fit the new
measurement. |
| |
|
 |
Body Style 2: the Dropped Shoulder
Dropped shoulder sweaters are casual, comfortable, and require very
little shaping. The wider the shoulders, the more the shoulder will
drape down the arm. |
| |
|
 |
Body Style 3: Raglan
Need a lot of shoulder room? Knit a raglan! Raglan sweaters provide
terrific freedom of movement for arms, which is why they are often
chosen for baseball shirts (all that throwing the ball, you know). At
left is the sleeve of a raglan sweater. |

 |
Body Style 4: Saddle Shoulder
A saddle shoulder has a small band of fabric across the shoulders,
from the arm to the neck. SweaterMaker has you knit this band first, and
then you will knit the sleeve from the shoulder down to the wrist. |
| |
|
 |
Body Style 5: Horizontal Dolman
A view of a sideways-knit Dolman sweater. You will knit this puppy
in one large piece, and only have to add the neck, waist, and wrist trim
later. It's a wonderful way to knit a sweater with vertical stripes! |
| |
|
 |
Body Style 6: Vertical Dolman
This is the vertical Dolman front. Notice the extra-deep armholes. By
grabbing the boxes at the base of the front neck, you can make that
neckline as deep as you like! |
| |
|
 |
Body Style 7: Round Yoke
When you knit a round yoke sweater, this is what the yoke will look
like. Or rather, half the yoke. You will knit two of these, and then sew
them up later. |
