DESCRIPTION: Stitching a sweater is a rite of passage for knitters. It means your skills are advanced enough that you can read and follow a pattern, understand the shaping and sizing involved, and have the stamina to actually finish the project. But finding sweater patterns that aren't boxy, ugly, or outdated can be a challenge, and even then, the directions are often so complicated and confusing knitters don't even want to cast on.

Pointers on casting on, binding off, assembly, and finishing techniques. Lessons on stitching sleeves, necklines, collars, hoods, pockets, and more.
