Top-down Technique for Children's Knitwear

“!! Congratulations!! You have reached the end of the course. I hope you have enjoyed this experience as much as I have and that you have learned a lot by knitting with me. Before finishing, I would like to remind you of the steps you must follow to complete your project: Design and preparations Work on the design of your garment and choose your materials. Then, do the calculations and take the necessary measurements before you start weaving. Remember that this is a vitally important step for your garment to turn out well.

First steps of weaving Start by casting on and knitting the neck stitches. You will work symmetrical increases spread over 4 stitches where the front and back coincide with the sleeves. Next, we will increase until we obtain the desired width of the garment. The yoke and the front Continue with the yoke and once finished, separate the front, back and sleeves, and put the sleeves and back on hold. Then join the button closure placket and work the front and hem. The back and sleeves Next, it's time to pick up the stitches on the back. When you are done knitting, continue with the sleeves. Finish and personalize the garment To finish the garment, sew under the sleeves and sides using a stockinette blind seam. Finally, you can add your personal touch. I suggest that you apply the stitch lifting technique to give it professional finishes or that you use duplicate stitches. There are no limits! Share images of each stage of the process and the final result in the forum by clicking on "Create your project". Also add a short description next to the images to share your full experience. I will stop by the forum when I can to see your progress, although I ask for your patience, since I also have to attend to my professional assignments. Meanwhile, I encourage you to see and comment on other projects. This way you will learn twice as much! See you soon! ”
