Welcome to another #knitwithkika video, things are heating up in here because today we're knitting a simple sweater in the loveliest chunky yarn. This video walks you through step by step how to knit a sweater, and since it's knitted on fairly big needles, it's really quick to knit, hooray!
This video is filled with tips if you're new to knitting, so it's great if you're a beginner. Or, if you've been knitting for a while and want some inspiration and a few tricks on what I do to make my knits have that "hand made" feeling as opposed to "home made" 😆 For example, I usually fold my collars in half and I also used a new trick to get my stockinette stitch looking extra smooth 😏
Things we cover in this video:
0:30 Overview of the project
2:45 How to make at gauge swatch
4:49 A tip to make your stockinette stitch more even
5:59 How to knit the front & back pieces
8:59 Forming the neckline by decreasing stitches
15:21 How to join two strands of yarn together seamlessly
17:04 Knitting the sleeves
19:43 How to increase stitches
22:52 Putting all the pieces together
26:05 Picking up stitches from the neckline & knitting the collar
27:07 The final result!
The yarn I used for this project is Drops Wish in colour 02 (which is a super goood choice if you're like me and very sensitive to itchy yarns, this one is so so soft even against the skin). Here's the link https://www.garnstudio.com/yarn.php?show=drops-wish&cid=19
I named this knit The Sunday Brunch sweater because I feel it has that perfect combination of being modern yet very comfortable due to it's boxy and slightly oversized shape.
I'd love to see your knit projects, remember to use the hashtag #knitwithkika on Instagram or YouTube so we can come see your work! Thank you so much for watching and happy knitting!
