I wrote a program to do that once.  It was quite clever, you'd adjust
some sliders on the screen that corresponded to the person's
measurements, and the pattern would reshape itself interactively.

I was going to port it to a PC and make myself rich, but then I
realized that you need a *big* plotter to print the pattern out when
you're done, and how many PC owners can afford one?
