Did you know that it's possible to fit your sweater while you knit it? The secret is knitting continously from the top down (rather than assembling knitted panels), so you can try on the sweater when you are halfway done with the pattern. By increasing and decreasing to fit your body, you can fit any sweater knitting pattern just for you once you've tried it on. Knit a sweater for yourself or your child using the top-down method, which is suited for the advanced beginner and requires the techniques of casting on, the knit stitch and the purl stitch.
