You have mastered casting on/off knitting and purling.
You are ready for something more. You want to knit a sweater but you find
the prospect a bit daunting. You have perused patterns and been a bit perplexed
by some of the terminology. Having Kate help you is the solution to your
dilemma!
This is a perfect project because the sweater is knit
from the top down, uses circular and double pointed needles, and has no seams. You
can knit it with a crew neck or a hood. You can choose the tiny baby size
or the larger 18 month size. You will learn how to read a pattern,
how to increase, how to make a button hole and so much more.
And the result
– you will have the cutest, most adorable, little cardigan to
show off. You will feel so proud!
