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.
