Obviously the knitting patterns below aren't for beginner knitters - but - if you have some knitting experience and like to avoid sewing back seams then these are the patterns for you.

Knit them in plain colors or knit them with the designs shown below. Don't worry if you're not experienced reading knitting charts - we included both the charts and complete instructions how to read and work knitting charts so you'll have no problems. But just in case - we've also included a help link within the pattern to answer any question you may still have.
