How to Knit a Pullover

Learn how to knit a pullover from A to Z!

During this course we’ll show you practically how to start and complete a simple sweater.

We’ll carefully walk you through the whole process of making a sweater: from measuring swatches and calculating gauge, to knitting back, front and sleeves, picking up stitches and working a neck band.

We’ll review cast on and bind off methods, increasing and decreasing, blocking and seaming techniques for a perfect finish.

Please keep in mind: Most of us lead a very busy life, with little or no time during working-days to fully commit to a large project. For this reason, we will be teaching you the principles of sweater knitting – which you will be able to adapt easily to future projects – by making a children’s pullover.
