KNIT BEGINNER SWEATER - EASY BREEZY TOP
Wednesday, August 08, 2018
Here is the EASIEST sweater to knit! This Easy Breezy Top is the perfect FIRST sweater project to make and what I love about it is, intermediate and even advanced knitters will enjoy making this top too. Who doesn't love a fast project?! You get to switch colors, use different fibers of yarn and knit using 1 strand and sometimes holding the yarn double...and did I also mention it has the BEST SEAM EVER?!!! You are going to want to make this shoulder seam on everything! (And if you do, post them here)
Click here for the video tutorial.
Isn't it so pretty?! AHHHH! It's my favorite sweater I've made so far. If you want to make your sweater longer or shorter, please do! Customize it, make this your own creation. That's what I love about knitting. But PLEASE show me how yours turns out!
This pullover comes in sizes S, M, L, XL. Click here for all the sizes and for the .PDF pattern.

SEW SWEATER TOGETHER
BRAIDED SHOULDER SEAM Click here for the PHOTO TUTORIAL | VIDEO TUTORIAL
With right sides facing up, using your tapestry needle, go through the 2 bars on the back piece of the last row from right to left. Now, go through the outer most V stitch on your front piece from the top to bottom. Go through the next braid(outer most V stitch) on the front piece from the bottom to the top and into the next 2 bars on the back piece from right to left. Go back into the same V stitch from before from the top to bottom. Repeat until you have 25 braids. Repeat on other shoulder.
To sew the sides: VIDEO TUTORIAL (start at 13:40)
With right sides facing up, side by side, using your needle, go through the outermost horizontal bar switching back and forth on both pieces.
Weave ends.
Block your sweater | VIDEO TUTORIAL | It is very important to block your sweater once you are done. I blocked it by putting it in warm water with a little bit of liquid laundry soap, rinse, and hang dry as well as pulling on the sweater making it longer/wider.
