Basic top-down top pattern?
 

I'm trying to find a basic top-down sweater pattern to make up with worsted weight yarn. I've looked and looked,:wall: spent hours and hours. I find top-down patterns but most are cabled, lacy, or for lighter weight yarn...or all of the above. :eyes: I'm hoping for no seams. Could someone please help me? If you know of a link to a free pattern, could help me refining my search, anything at all, I would appreciate it so much. I think I'll head over to ravelry again and see if I can find something I've overlooked before. I just looked at who knows how many links at knittingpatterncentral and about a zillion that I googled. OK, a zillion is a slight exageration.
:wink:
I'm tempted to crochet it; that I can do w/o a pattern. I won't though, knitting just makes a nicer sweater.

Have you looked at sweaterbabe.com? She has some top-down sweaters, I have knit one, no seams, a cardigan but there may be others too. Might check it out, some are free.

Thanks. I'm looking at some really nice things at that site.

There's pattern generators at www.knittingfool.com and www.woolworks.org/patterns/raglan.html where you put in your gauge and finished measurements needed and it works out a pattern for you. The knitting pure and simple patterns are pretty basic top down ones too.

Thanks so much, this might be what I want. I'm printing The Incredible Custom-Fit Raglan Sweater worksheet and instructions. Maybe I'll be able to figure it out from there.

Got the printing done, now I need to start a gauge swatch and get a new ink cartridge!

You can always ask here for help..

Most of these are seamless and the patterns are well written and include a lot of sizes which is nice.

@Lighting57: The link tells me I've encountered a bug. However, I did look some more on Ravelry and found a pattern, Simple Summer Tweed Top Down V-Neck, pretty much what I was hoping for all along. Between that and the link from suzeeq, I should be all set up to play for a while. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions sooner rather than later.

Thanks all! I'm not sure what's spooking me about getting going on this but I'm determined to learn to do top down tops. Maybe I want the security of a pattern to follow and at the same time the feeling that I'm making it up myself. Whatever, I feel like I'm venturing into the great unknown....weird. Nice to know there are lifelines here when I need them. :muah: :grphug: :hug:

Note to self: Explore Ravelry more, find out more about what's there besides the pattern finder.

Sounds like an exciting trip into the wild blue yonder for GG the intrepid knitting explorer! Have fun! :muah:
