The Knitter's Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters by Ann Budd

Ann Budd’s creative ingenuity continues to marvel fiber and yarn enthusiasts nationwide, and this latest addition to The Knitter’s Handy Book series is no exception. Answering to a growing interest in knitting sweaters from the top down and knitting seamless sweaters that require little finishing, this essential book offers instructions for designing and knitting your own one-of-a-kind top-down sweaters. Instructions are based on five basic sweater types (seamless yoke, raglan, modified drop shoulder, set-in sleeve, and saddle shoulder), in multiple sizes for both adults and children, and in multiple yarn gauges. Each of the five sweater types is conveniently accompanied by three full-length patterns, one from a featured top designer.
