You'll learn essential sweater-knitting skills like knitting in the round, raglan increases, separating for the sleeves, and picking up stitches—all at a relaxed pace with plenty of guidance.

Ready to knit your first sweater? A simple, top-down raglan is designed with beginners in mind! Worked seamlessly in the round, these sweaters use basic stitches, straightforward increases, and minimal shaping to create a comfortable, well-fitting garment.

Choose from these three beginner-friendly patterns:

Flax by Tin Can Knits. Find the patterns on Ravelry: Flax worsted or Flax DK

Step-by-Step Sweater by Florence Miller. Find the pattern on Ravelry HERE.

South Bay Sweater by Sam Lamb. Find the pattern on Ravelry HERE.

Each pattern is designed to be approachable for first-time sweater knitters, with clear instructions and simple construction techniques.

Supplies:

Yarn: Worsted-weight yarn (Cascade 220 or Woolpaka are great options) – amount needed varies by size
Needles: US 6-9 recommended (or size needed to achieve gauge, bring extras for adjustments)
DPNs or magic loop: For sleeve knitting (if not using the magic loop method with long circulars)
