Have you tried grafting? It means sewing live stitches, not sure if that's something you can still do, or if you would need to undo a bind off at the top of the sleeves.
I like seamless top-down sweaters because I don't need to worry about seams, the downside is they have less stability/durability, everything sags down with time :)

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely look into it since I don't know what grafting is  Post time 2024-2-19 22:07
