Top-down knitting

The top down method allows you to knit projects from the top down.
In this tutorial we will see Pelota Playerhow to make a sweater using this method.

The top down pullover pattern is knitted in the circularand provided with raglan sleeves.
We start with the collar before knitting the bib, making regular increases. The work is then divided into three parts: the body and the two sleeves.
Each part is then knitted separately in the round.

The top-down technique has several advantages:

- it allows you to create a seamless circular knitting pattern
- it makes it easier to try things on while knitting
- it allows you to easily adapt the lengths to your body shape

To make this tutorial, Joueuse de Pelotes used the Océane sweater model, of his creation. It is available on our website, for download in PDF format.
