The Tailored Sweater Method
The Tailored Sweater is a method to knit a seamless set-in-sleeve sweater from the top-down using any yarn and any stitch pattern. Included in the Tailored Sweater package is a short instruction manual (PDF) and an Excel 2003 spreadsheet that enables users to input finished measurements of a variety of garment styles and the spreadsheet automatically creates a pattern. The result is a top-down method that is very intuitive, structurally sound and assures fit and confidence to the knitter. Lace, stranded-color work, texture, cables – any stitch pattern works.
These sweaters were designed knitted using the tutorial and spreadsheet. The tutorial includes also a sample sweater pattern. The package is available for $25.
The newest version, v1.2, was published on August 1st, 09.
System requirements: Microsoft Excel 2003 or later, for Windows or Mac. Adobe Reader.
This product may work with other non-Microsoft products that run Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, but was not tested on any other products than Microsoft Excel and is sold with warranty only for MS Excel.
