Pattern
This could be the sweater your favorite guy or gal will like so much that he or she passes it down someday to a son, daughter or grandchild. The top-down pattern uses a progression that changes from light to dark as you knit, making the shoulders look bigger and the waist smaller. Who wouldn’t like that? The durable, American-made bulky-weight yarn knits up very fast on large needles, so enjoy making it while you can, as you will finish quickly.

Haven’t knitted a top-down sweater before? Don’t worry. Here’s a free, printable PDF of top-down knitting instructions.

Yarn
Brown Sheep’s Burly Spun, Super Bulky 100% American Wool, Eco-Friendly

All Brown Sheep’s yarns are dyed using their proprietary process, which recycles up to 90% of the water used in the dying process. And since the textile industry is considered to be among the top three industries for water pollution, it is comforting to know Brown Sheep yarn is eco-friendly.

This sweater pattern is very rewarding. Inspired by the classic white dress shirt, the body and the sleeves are worked top-down in one piece. Crafting buttoned cuffs, shirt collar and folded hem shirt tails contribute to the pleasure of creating an everyday garment that is truly sophisticated.

Yarn
Louet’s Euroflax – Sport - 100% Linen

This elegant linen yarn achieves exceptional softness that is the result of fine splitting the long flax fibers and double boiling the yarn during production. The result is a strong, easy-to-care-for yarn that grows softer each time you wash it. It is non-allergenic and can absorb 20% of its weight in water without feeling damp. The pectins in the fiber give it a heat-regulating quality. Machine washable and dryable.

Pattern
This design was inspired by athletic sportswear. I chose superfine merino wool or a cotton/bamboo/silk blend to make it very wearable with a shirt, t-shirt, or, what the heck, no shirt at all. The sleeves and body are worked separately in stockinette from the top down, then when completed sewn together to create a classic crewneck. Have fun making this sporty sweater and end up a winner.

Yarn
Trendsetter’s Merino 6, DK, 100% Superfine Merino
This high-quality merino yarn is designed to be extra smooth as well as soft. A 6-ply, high twist, washable yarn  loft and stretch, so it’s not only easy to care for, it’s easy to knit.

Pattern
It was the bamboo in Sueño yarn and an antique kimono that inspired this open coatigan. To showcase the simple construction of kimonos this piece is designed to be worked sideways. An openwork stitch pattern is combined with subtle, visible floats to add decorative detail and knitting interest. Two pieces are worked from the cuffs to the center of the back, then joined with a 3-needle bind off and finished with a band that caresses the neck.

This cheerful cover-up top is perhaps the simplest pattern possible. A pair of stitches that you repeat to the end of the row, every row.

Pattern
When it comes to a light and airy tunic or summer dress with just a touch of sexy, Michelle could become your favorite. It was designed for Solo Lino, the recycled linen eco-yarn. The pleasantly simple pattern is worked from the top down in one piece with no seams to be sewn. And as you progress the needle size increases 3 times to create the A-line profile and a skirt that has a little swish when you walk. The design is simple, knitting it is simple and the result is simply charming.

Yarn
Lana Grossa’s Solo Lino, Sport, 80% recycled linen, 20% linen, Eco-yarn

This yarn is almost unbelievable. There is none of the stiffness that can be experienced when knitting with virgin linen yarn. Instead, the recycled process results in a beautiful drape that feels soft in your hands. Yet it retains all the qualities that make linen so desirable.

Pattern
Here is a project that uses the simplest stitches, garter and stockinette, in an imaginative way to create a pattern that is fun and rewarding. Knitted top down starting at the neck, with increases along the four raglan seams, two colors are alternated to create a yoke crafted in very small stripes. The lower body and sleeves are worked in stockinette and finished with narrow bands of garter. Stitches are then picked up around the neck and the seamless hood is worked in garter stripes to match the yoke.

Pattern
How about a cardigan sweater with a few design features and knitting techniques that will make knitting it a pleasure and wearing it an even greater delight. This is a top-down pattern with no seams. It incorporates an elegant invisible raglan seam increase with hems on the cuff and the body, versus ribbing, which magically require no sewing. The peek of color inside the pockets is echoed in the subtle trim along the button placket providing the finishing touch. It can dress up a pair of jeans or take the place of a sport coat. How’s that for versatile?

Haven’t knitted a top-down sweater before? Don’t worry. Here’s a free, printable PDF of top-down knitting instructions.

Yarn
Euroflax Sport - 100% Linen – Sport Weight

This sport weight linen yarn is wet spun from flax-fiber. Exceptional softness is achieved by fine splitting the long fibers and double boiling the yarn. Machine wash on gentle cycle using a non-bleach, mild soap. Dry in your dryer on a medium setting for 15 minutes, then lay flat to finish. For an even softer result, dry completely in the dryer. To enhance the sheen of the yarn, steam with a steam iron.

Pattern
This lightweight top or beach coverup is worked in two pieces. The way the fabric drapes means you have no shaping for the neckline. The front and back are exactly alike, so it is reversible. So, that’s two tops in one. Each is worked flat from the hem to the shoulders. The sides are then sewn using the invisible garter stitch seam, and the shoulders are finished with the three-needle bind off. It couldn’t be much simpler or more comfortable.

Yarn

Pattern
The Ryan pattern produces a classic tank top that combines stockinette with narrow stripes of garter. It is a simple stitch repeat that encourages meditative knitting. This pattern is worked from the bottom up in the round, then the front and back are separated for shaping the yoke and rejoined at the shoulders. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neck and armhole trim.

Yarn
Brown Sheep’s Cotton Fine, Fingering, 80% Pima Cotton, 20% Resilient Merino Wool, Eco-yarn

Cotton Fine is more than fine cotton. A bit of the softest merino wool is added. Cotton makes it cooler, but the wool gives more resilience to the yarn, making it wonderful to work with. And the combination feels equally wonderful on your skin. Like all Brown Sheep yarns it is dyed in their proprietary process, which allows for over 90% of the water to be recycled. Cotton Fine is almost an essential in anyone’s yarn stash because it is great for summer tops, wraps and sweaters. As well as baby blankets and children’s clothing.

Pattern
This pattern is inspired by the classic pocket T-shirt. Knit from the top down in one piece, the shoulders and neck are shaped using short rows, and the shoulders are joined using the invisible cast-on method. The body is worked in the round. The sleeve stitches are picked around the arm opening and are also worked top-down in the round. The sleeves and body are finished with seamless folded hems. The body length can be tailored simply by removing the work from your needles and trying it on to guarantee it is exactly the length you desire before you finish it.

Yarn
CoBaSi, DK Weight, 55% Cotton, 21% Elastic Nylon, 16% Viscose from Bamboo, 8% Silk

This wonderful yarn has many benefits. The cotton is washable, the bamboo is sustainable, the silk is durable, and elastic nylon assures that the piece retains its shape. This wool-free blend is soft and gentle on your hands but has a wool like stretch. It sounds loveable, and it is.

Pattern
This design will surprise you for two reasons. It may look complicated, but you’ll discover it’s rather simple. The mosaic knitting technique is the most delightful way to do color work. You knit each row with only one color at a time incorporating slip stitches and eliminating half of the floats on the back side of your fabric. The second surprise is the yarn. Ecopuno looks, feels and behaves like the beautiful blend of alpaca and merino that it is, but it’s 72% cotton.

Pattern
Our favorite sporty sweater has been re-imagined in luscious Basis fingering weight. The pairing of two variegated yarns that were meant to be united almost guarantees compliments when you finish this project.

The sleeves and body are knitted separately in stockinette, then sewn together to create a classic crewneck. Both the upper body and sleeves are worked flat from the top down to the bottom of the armhole. Then the lower body and sleeves are worked in the round from the armhole to the cuff and hem. Tackle this modern version of a classic sporty sweater and you’re sure to have a homerun.

Yarn
Trendsetter’s Basis, Fingering, 75% Micro-Fiber Cotton, 16% Wool, 9% Cashmere

This very light and very special blend. Microfibers of cool, soft cotton, wrap around a blend of resilient wool   cashmere to add a luxurious glow. It provides clear stitch definition and has a delightful hand when knitting, because while being cotton based it knits like wool. And last but not least the color variegations include some subtle touches to elevate the sophistication of your finished work.

Pattern
It was René Lacoste, the legendary French tennis player, who first conceived what we know today as the polo shirt. This pattern is inspired by René and designed so every knitter can enjoy the pleasure of hand-crafting a shirt that is as comfortable as the original design from 1929. The pattern is worked from the top down in one piece, so the only seam is the body hem. The shoulders and neck are shaped using German short rows, stitches are picked up around the arm hole, the body and arms are worked in the round. Alternating stockinette and twisted stockinette create a subtle sophisticated vertical stripe pattern.

Yarn
HiKoo’s CoBaSi, Fingering, 55% Cotton, 16% Bamboo, 8% Silk, 21% Elastic Nylon

In this amazing blend of fibers, the cotton and bamboo are the basis for a washable yarn, silk adds strength, and elastic nylon helps the finished garment hold its shape. It knits like wool not cotton and the result is soft and gentle.

Pattern
It may be hard to decide which is more fun, wearing this wrap skirt, or knitting it. Because it is knitted sideways from one end to the other. The open work stitch pattern is creative, and the overall effect is a delightful little beach or pool coverup. Plus, the pattern is written so you can create a mini-skirt or a longer version to suit your own personal style.
