Top Down: Reimagining Set-In Sleeve Design
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, the author has developed a unique construction method for working perfect, seamless, top-down sleeves with a fit that equals conventionally set-in sleeves. The book contains patterns for six sweaters, plus a wealth of information on customizing them to suit one's own shape.

Beautiful New Approach to Top Down Knits
Published by Stephanie King , 2 years ago
Since I began knitting 12 years ago, I fell in love with knitting sweaters top down and seamless..Unfortunately, this approach has some fit challenges, as the back of the neck must sit higher than the front and both raglan and circular necklines are not always the style we want.
This book, along with the lovely patterns have easy to knit, perfectly fitted set in sleeves. There are only 6 designs, but each one is basic enough that each knitter can get creative with different yarns, stripes, different lace panels... the possibilities are endless.
Any knitter who wants to learn and knit new techniques and loves to knit sweaters must add this book to their library!
