Top Ten Sweater Patterns for Beginners

October 3, by Sarah White. 10 Comments

Knitting your first sweater is a big step to take so it is important to find a sweater pattern that is simple to knit. Here are some of my favorites when it comes to simple sweaters that look great!

If you’ve never knit a sweater I recommend starting with a baby sweater so you can get a hang of things before you go for something bigger.

    These are totally gorgeous sweaters, which show real style and great lines,no one would ever guess that they are easy as pie. Perfect for beginner or advanced knitters sure to spike interest and knitter jealousy, as I could make that too, in my favorite color, and look just so good!!!

    love them and the idea of using thick yarn, makes it faster to knit, the baby sweater, the shorter bolero ones are my interest thanks for sharing

    I am making a ‘knit from the top’ cardigan. How do I insert pockets?

    This is a great tutorial for afterthought pockets. Just decide where you want them when you’re done knitting! http://loritimesfive.blogspot.com/2012/02/fun-with-pockets-tutorial.html

    Sorry about that. This post is five years old and I don’t have control over how long other people keep links live. It has been deleted.
