If you are brand new to sweater knitting then this is the sweater for you! It uses a chunky yarn so it knits up very quickly and is seamed together.
Learning on a smaller child size is the easiest way to learn as you can perfect all of the techniques before moving on to a larger adult project.
A full companion video workshop is also available. This workshop includes both the child and adult versions of the sweater.
