Apparently, if you knit on the bias (tilt your patterns to a 45deg angle), the finished piece will drape better. but doing that would increase your difficulty levels exponentially. the well-fitting piece, of course, must never get wet by water, and must never be stored on a hanger. admit it, fats. you're now a manufacturer of luxury goods, hahaha! don’t blame yourself. well-fitting knits are really almost impossible to do. that’s why the few Houses that can do this (Missoni, TSE, Balenciaga, Comme des Garcons) charge a fortune for it.
