Hello again!
I really don’t like to do the last step; sewing all the pieces together.

I created this pattern (not too imaginative) so that I can knit the front, back and shoulders from the top down and all at one time. And both sleeves at one time. All on circular needles.

Really bothers me when the front and back don't match up well or the sleeves are different, even if slightly. Working the pieces at once helps a little with this problem.

Using this method, the risk of unequal pieces is minimized and I have no sewing! What's left is just weaving the tails secure with a tapestry needle.

Top-Down Raglan Toddler Sweater

Well I had some time to do some more work....

Here’s a raglan knitted from the top-down, on circular needles and when necessary (neckline, sleeves, etc), using the magic loop method.

Cotton yarn.



Thanks for visiting!

Been So Busy!

Hello again!
Can't believe how busy it's been lately! No time to be nearly as productive as usual, but I did get the opportunity to make this cute little raglan pullover for a baby.

It's a free pattern from Bernat Design Studio. They have a lot of great free patterns. This one was so easy, I am going to convert it to a top-down, no seam pattern and see how it works!

This pattern calls for round needles, but because it's worked from the bottom up, the chest area and the upper half of the sleeves were finished on straight needles. If I am successful, only the opening area will be treated as if on straight needles, but once the neckline closes at the bottom, it's going to be all round from there!

Legend of Zelda's LINK

Hello again!
After 3 months of playing Windwaker, a few days ago my daughter finally finished the game.

So as a prize, I thought it would be fun to create a LINK doll for her.
