Easy Basic Sweater looks good with almost everything. It is knit on thick needles using chunky yarn and therefore it is a fast and easy knitting project. It is worked up using simple techniques which makes it a great choice as one of your first projects. The sweater’s simple look gives you the opportunity to pick several colour combinations. Perhaps you would like to knit the ribbing in a contrast colour.
