Contiguous Method
A technique for knitting top-down sweaters with a shoulder construction that looks like it's set-in.
Explanation
The Contiguous Method, developed by Susie Myers, is an elegant way to knit sweaters from the top down. Instead of traditional raglan, where you increase on either side of four markers, the contiguous method uses specific increase rates to create a horizontal shoulder seam before starting the actual sleeve cap. This provides a more sculpted and professional fit, especially in the shoulder area.
