Top Down: Reimagining Set-In Sleeve Design

About this book

This collection takes classic set-in sleeve sweater construction and turns it on its head with designs that are worked seamlessly from the top down. By beginning at the shoulders--the part of the garment where fit matters most--knitters can try on sweaters as they go and make adjustments if needed in response to the actual fit.In addition to patterns the book takes an in-depth look at sleeve cap architecture and details an improved method for working perfect seamless top-down sleeves that fit as well (or better!) than conventionally set-in sleeves. Six sweater designs using this method are included--as well as a wealth of information on customizing both the sweater body and sleeve caps to achieve your perfect fit.
