Review by Library Journal Review

Knitting designer Atherley here brings her considerable technical knowledge of knitwear design to custom-fit mittens and gloves. As with her earlier book, Custom Socks, Atherley begins with a survey of knitters and their friends and families, allowing her to make some generalizations about hand size. This is followed by mitten- and glove-specific knitting tips, as well as basic patterns that can be adapted and customized. Atherley also provides a series of patterns for mittens, gloves, and fingerless gloves in a variety of sizes and cabled and stranded colorwork. VERDICT While there are thousands of mitten and glove patterns out there, Atherley brings a mathematician's viewpoint to the craft. Her ability to explain and distill complex ideas will provide knitters with a fresh perspective. © Copyright 2018. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
