Learn how to knit custom top-down sweaters from scratch using your very own measurements and any yarn you like with Wendy Bernard. This course will free you of your dependence on written patterns and teach you about how top-down, seamless garments are constructed. When knitting top-down, not only can you avoid having to seam your sweaters at the end, you’ll also have ample opportunities to try on your sweater as you go so you can get a perfectly fitted sweater or cardigan. Wendy will cover top-down raglan sweaters in Parts 1 and 2, and top-down set-in-sleeve sweaters in Parts 3 and 4. With the simple formulas Wendy outlines, you’ll be able to make a pullover or a cardigan for yourself or anyone else, be they man, woman, or child. This is total top-down knitting freedom – simply start with your own measurements (or a lucky recipient), do a little bit of math on the worksheets provided, cast on, and get knitting!
