How do you do seams? I am anxious to learn how to make a sweater from top down without seams.

here's a good pattern for a top down raglan sweater with no seams. It was the first top down sweater I made. And it helps you figure out how to do it in various yarns.

How I seam varies, according to what I'm sewing. You can use a grafting technique sometimes, or mattress stitch, or sometimes even backstitch.
