The Learning Curve Sweater is designed for beginners that are wanting to learn new skills! There are plenty of videos, photos and linked resources to help you learn! There are also easier alternatives provided for some of the trickier skills. The sweater is knit from the top down; first the back is knit, stitches are picked up to create the front panels and shape the neckline, then the front and the back are joined in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up to create the sleeves.
