SELF-PACED COURSE: Horizontal Bust Dart System
A system that turns knowledge into confidence.
Maybe your sweater feels tight across the bust. Maybe the front hem rides up. Or perhaps your garment fits beautifully around the shoulders and waist, but something just isn't right around the bust.
The solution isn't always to knit a larger size.
Your body is three-dimensional. Sometimes a knitted garment needs additional length in the right place to better accommodate your body's shape.
That's where horizontal bust darts can help.
With the Yarn Me Up Horizontal Bust Dart System, you'll learn step by step how horizontal bust darts work and how to calculate them using your individual measurements.
You'll discover not only which measurements and values you need, but also why they matter and how to apply them to your knitting.
The system combines three essential elements:
KNOWLEDGE
Understand the relationship between bust shape, garment fit and horizontal bust darts.
PRACTICE
Learn how short rows create additional length exactly where it's needed and how to apply this technique to your own knitting projects.
INTERACTIVE CALCULATIONS
Use the automated bust dart calculator to help determine your individual shaping values.
The goal: less guesswork and more confidence when adjusting the fit of your knitted garments.
You're not simply memorising a formula. You're learning a technique you can understand and apply independently to future knitting projects where horizontal bust darts are suitable.
And whether you prefer centimetres or inches, the explanations and calculations are provided for both measurement systems.
From understanding the basics to putting them into practice
The Yarn Me Up Horizontal Bust Dart System guides you through seven essential learning steps.
1. Understand Garment Fit
Explore how bust shape and garment construction work together, and why additional length around the bust can make a difference.
2. Understand Horizontal Bust Darts
Learn how horizontal bust darts work using short rows.
3. Work With Your Own Measurements
Use your individual body measurements and gauge swatch instead of relying on standardised assumptions.
4. Understand the Calculations
Learn how additional length, row counts, the number of turns and turning points relate to one another.
5. Use the Automated Calculator
Calculate your individual shaping values more easily and learn how to interpret the results.
6. Put It Into Practice
Transfer your calculations to your knitting project and learn how to incorporate horizontal bust darts into your work.
7. Apply Your Knowledge Again
Use what you've learned in future knitting projects where the technique is suitable.
Don't just read about it. Put it into practice.
Your own horizontal bust dart workshops: at your own pace.
The hands-on workshops guide you through working with your individual measurements, step by step.
You can revisit explanations whenever you need to, repeat calculations and take the time to become comfortable with the technique.
You'll learn not only what to knit, but also why the calculations work and how to use them.
That way, you're building knowledge you can draw on for future projects, too.
All explanations and calculations are available in both cm and inches, so you can work with your preferred measurement system.
Your measurements. Your calculations. Your project.
Want to understand the calculations without having to work through every single step by hand for each new knitting project?
That's where the interactive, automated Yarn Me Up Bust Dart Calculator comes in.
Enter the required body measurements and information from your gauge swatch, and the calculator determines the individual values for your horizontal bust darts.
Your results at a glance:
-
The calculated additional length
-
The required number of rows
-
The number of turns on each side
-
The distribution of turning points
Choose the units that work for you.
The interactive bust dart calculator is included in both centimetres (cm) and inches.
Whether you prefer working in metric or imperial measurements, you can use the version that feels most familiar to you.
And it's not just the calculator: the explanations and calculations throughout the learning materials are provided for both cm and inches, too.
No need to convert everything yourself.
Your personal project overview
With your personal project ID, you can save your calculation results from the calculator and retrieve them later.
This allows you to look up previously calculated projects without having to enter all your measurements again.
The calculator takes care of the calculations, while the e-book provides the background knowledge you need to understand the results and put them into practice.
Less time calculating. More time knitting.
