HOW CUSTOMFIT WORKS
CustomFit makes custom sweater patterns based on your choice of gauge and body measurements. You can make patterns for our collections of great, basic sweaters; one of our many designs, or create your own with our Build Your Own sweater wizard.

WHAT KIND OF SWEATER PATTERNS DOES CUSTOMFIT MAKE?
CustomFit makes seamed, set-in sleeve sweater patterns for men, women, and kids. You choose the gauge, which means that any of the patterns can be made in any yarn that you like.
There are two sweater shapes:
- Straight shaped designs have no waist shaping; the circumference at the hips is equal to the chest. These require a very simple set of body measurements.
- Hourglass shaped designs include customized waist and bust shaping for your body. These require an expanded set of body measurements.
Designs are marked with their shape.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR FIT
CustomFit will make all decisions about ease if you’d like. Choose “close,” “average,” “relaxed,” or “oversized,” and we’ll do the rest! If you prefer, you can also customize the measurements of your sweater before creating your pattern.
You can create measurement sets by tweaking CYCA standards, or you can measure from scratch with the help of our handy videos or by visiting one of our fantastic CustomFit LYS partners.
