Knit From the Top Down: 16 Sweater Knitting Patterns
Don't you hate it when you finish a sweater only to find that it doesn't quite fit your body? Let me introduce you to a type of knitting pattern that will change your life: top down patterns. Just as it sounds, these types of projects are made from the top down, meaning you'll be able to try it on as you're making it.
Along with the ability to try it on as you go, comes the chance to make the necessary, last-minute alterations to the pattern once you find it doesn't fit. This means if you stick to knitting top down patterns, your sweater knitting patterns will always fit and flatter your body in the best away possible. Sounds like a good deal, doesn't it?
