Tinton Top Down Sweater by Lion Brand Yarn

Craft: Knitting

Sweater is worked from the top down, so the circumference will change as you work. As stitches are increased, you’ll need to change to longer and longer circular needles as you proceed.

You can use multiple length needles as listed in our pattern or, if you have a set of interchangeable needles, simply attach additional cords. If you prefer, the Sweater can be knit on a long circular knitting needle using the Magic Loop technique.
