Learn to Knit - Your First Sweater
It’s time to knit your own very first sweater.
We will be using the Super Simple Summer Sweater pattern by Joji Locatelli. Amy and I have handpicked this sweater pattern as it offers a simple design, a boxy fit, and is worked seamlessly from the top-down. A great first foray into sweater knitting. You have the option to make this in stripes (as designed) or in a solid color.
