My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

bottom border of sweater

17 years ago

My question is this. Should the bottom border of a sweater be knitted on smaller sized needles than will be used for the body of the sweater? I will be doing the border in seed stitch. I often see that patterns call for ribbed border to be knitted on a smaller needle.
