Lost the seams

TheEssentialSweater-TopDown

 

There are no large groups in Ravelry for people who love – or at least, don’t mind – sewing seams.  On the other hand, for those who love to avoid seams, there are Seamless Knits (more than 7,300 members) and Top Down Sweaters (about 5,400 members, including 2,400 members in common with Seamless Knits).  At the less popular end of the scale, there is Knitting Flat with just 70 members who claim to not be bothered by seaming (I wouldn’t need a lot of persuasion to join, so maybe call it 71).  All things considered, I’m getting a strong hint here about what type of garment construction is preferred by knitters (or those using Ravelry, at the very least).

And I can take a hint.  I’ve turned my pattern for The Essential Sweater on its head, so to speak.  The new, top-down version of the pattern (which is currently in draft form) produces an identical looking sweater to the knitted flat original.  It’s still written for 8 ply/DK yarn.  And I’ve added another size (5-6 years).  Seaming is limited to less than one inch, so I can’t say it’s completely seamless, but it sure comes close!

After several days of heavy rain and gale force winds, we finally had one of those beautiful sunny winter days.  A chance to photograph the first sample!  The wind and rain is back today (at least we don’t have to spend winter shoveling snow, so I can’t complain too much really).  I’ll have to wait for the next break in the weather to photograph the second sample – in a gorgeous shade of purple for my youngest.

    I am so glad I decided to stop by your blog! I was looking at your essential sweater longingly but dreading the seaming…. and voila! the knitting gods (or you, in this case) have answered my prayers. I will be eagerly awaiting the top-down seamless version of your essential sweater. Hurrah!
