bottom border of sweater

laurenjay
15 years ago

My question is this. Should the bottom border of a sweater be knitted on smaller sized needles than will be used for the body of the sweater? I will be doing the border in seed stitch. I often see that patterns call for ribbed border to be knitted on a smaller needle.
