Knitting Sweaters from the Top Down: Fabulous Seamless Patterns to Suit Your Style by Cathy Carron $18.95

Reg. $24.95

From the author: There are many advantages to top-down knitting, the most important being that you can try on the garment as you go, which is not possible with bottom-up knitting. This allows you to make adjustments to get a perfect fit and the best design. You begin with the perfect neckline and build from there to the perfect yoke, the perfect body length, etc. Cuff and hem style can be a last minute decision-when the sweater is almost finished, you can try it on yourself, a friend, or a mannequin and determine the detail that best suits the garment. For instance, you may have envisioned the sweater's cuff or hem to be ruffled but in the end decide that a ribbed or rolled solution would be better

Sweaters are the ultimate showcase for knitters—but most patterns require complicated piecing that can be a little tricky. These don’t…and they look fantastic, too! The seamless, top-down knitting method eliminates challenging construction, allowing knitters to focus instead on the individual details that make each sweater special. Not only does this guide thoroughly explain how the technique works—with information on reading patterns and understanding sizing—but it also teaches beginners how to design their own generic patterns for pullovers and cardigans in different yarn gauges. All the sweaters are organized by yarn weight, and the projects include an elegant rolled-collar pullover, dramatic capelet, and Asian-inspired top.
