Knitting from the top down is my favorite way to design a simple shrug or sweater, you can customize your garment as you are knitting, short sleeve, long sleeve, short body, long body, add some cables, or maybe some lace what ever you choose you will be knitting it all in one piece so when you get to the end you will just put it right on! No Seaming up!
Materials: aprox. 800 to 1200 yds, any gauge yarn
Needles to match yarn you pick ( Denise Interchangeable are great for this class! )
10 stitch markers
