For decades, knitters have been constructing garments using the wonderfully efficient top-down technique made famous by Barbara G. Walker in her renowned tome Knitting from the Top. But never have the results looked as glamorous and city-chic as they do in Modern Top-Down Knitting. In this sophisticated wom­enswear collection, designer Kristina McGowan presents streamlined, feminine dresses, tunics, and skirts, elegant cardigans and pullovers, and stylish go-to accessories such as hats and mitts. Also included are step-by-step photo tutorials that make top-down techniques easy to understand and sizing and style adjustments a cinch to achieve. Detailed instructions are also included for finishing garments with couture-quality trims and linings, so they look just as elegant on the inside as they do on the outside.

Kristy McGowan is an up-and-coming designer who has worked closely with Suss Designs, helping with yarn development and designing patterns, and has freelanced for Morehouse Farm. Formerly an editor at Farrar, Strauss & Giroux, she holds a doctorate degree in Sociology from Syracuse University.
