If you've never tried knitting from the top down, you are in for a treat. As you knit, you can try on a garment to get the perfect fit. You can also adjust the length as a child grows. Since the garment is usually worked in one piece, rather than pieces, the need for seams is almost entirely eliminated. This is truly knitting at its best. Choose from both long-sleeved and short-sleeved pullovers and cardigans for women, men and children. You can also choose from a variety of hats, scarves or sock patterns. 45 patterns—176 pages  | Softcover Retail: $19.95 Item No. 31159
