As top-down seamless sweaters become more popular, I've started thinking about the advantages of this type of construction compared to the traditional seamed sweater. Here are my musings! Top Down Seamless Sweaters In recent years, the top-down seamless sweater has taken over the knitting world. It's easy to understand why. The sweater is knit in the round in one piece. When you're finished knitting, all you have to do is weave in your ends and hey presto! You're all done! No seaming pieces together. No attempts at precision blocking to match the size of the pieces. No extra ends from the seaming process. And you can try it on as you go. Who wouldn't love that? The Flax sweater knitting pattern from Tin Can Knits. (It's a free pattern on Ravelry!) We suggest Universal Yarn Deluxe Worsted for this project.
