Definition
Seamless as a style means shaping is planned entirely through increases, decreases and short rows rather than through assembled panels.
Overview
It produces a cleaner silhouette and, for toys, removes the visible seam that can distort a face or limb.
Shaping must be calculated rather than cut, so seamless design demands more planning up front than panel construction.
Characteristics
- Shaping through stitch counts, not seams
- Uninterrupted stitch pattern across the piece
- Requires accurate gauge
Typical uses
- Garments
- Amigurumi
- Hats
- Baskets
