5, (6, 6, 7, 7,) (8, 9, 9, 10) skeins (120 yds/110 m per skein)

Approximately 440 yards were used for the cropped XS version shown. 

NEEDLES: 

US size 10 (6.0 mm) 24” circular and DPNs or small circumference circular, or one size smaller than size needed to make gauge. 

US size 11 (8.0 mm) 24” and 32” circular and DPNs or small circumference circular, or size needed to make gauge.

Notes From the Designer:

This sweater makes a great project for first-time garment knitters! Knit from the top down in the round, it features a  wide neck and simple stitch patterns so you can enjoy the process of sweater knitting without getting caught up in a complicated pattern. The best part? No neck or waist shaping! Worn with 2-5” of positive ease, this sweater leaves room for layers without being too oversized, and will make a great staple piece in your wardrobe.
 
•This easy pullover is worked in the round from the wide ribbed neck down to the hem, with simple increases to shape the yoke and sleeves. Once the shaping is complete, the sleeve sts are put on hold and the rest of the body is worked down to the ribbed hem. The sleeves are then worked down to the cuff ribbing, shaped by decreases along the way.

•The length can be easily adjusted by knitting the body to desired length after the yoke shaping is complete.

Knit your first swearter
5 Stars

It may not have been my first knitted sweater, but it was my first time doing it this way. This pattern is simple yet gorgeous. As most of the patterns from Expression Fiber Arts are well written and the video tutorials fill out any additional questions. Both of my sisters loved the different color versions I made. The flexibility of changing colors or yarn weight is one of my favorite parts of the patterns from all your designers.

The tutorial was easy to follow and starting my second sweater!

Best first sweater pattern ever!
5 Stars

I have scoured the internet and books for a beginner sweater pattern for over a year. I have chickened out of everything I’ve found. I’m terrible at written instructions. The video tutorials of this pattern have changed my whole outlook. I CAN knit a sweater! I’m almost finished with my first and excited at the prospect of knitting more!

Highly Recommend!
5 Stars

I started knitting 7 months before doing this course. The pattern was very well written, and the accompanying videos were clear and easy to follow. I’m so glad I purchased this for my first sweater project. I feel confident moving forward to tackle other projects.

I purchased this course to learn how to knit my first sweater and having not only the written instructions, having Chandi's videos of each step helps immensely! I told a friend about this sweater and she bought the pattern too! It's easy, it's fun, the Buttery Bulky yarn is so soft and glides through your fingers, it's a joy to knit. I love knitting this pattern. I highly recommend it! I recommend any pattern and yarn from Expression Fiber Arts!!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful class and pattern. I'm finishing up the second sleeve and I'm so grateful for your videos. You gave me the confidence to knit my first sweater (although I've been knitting for years!) and I've enjoyed every stitch. Your videos are so easy to follow and understand. And your presentation is so nicely done, showing your generous nature and joy. ❤

I'm new to knitting garments, so I ordered this course and I'm very glad I did! Chandi walks you through every part of the sweater and if you have a problem, you can re-watch it. Easy, peasy! I'm taking my time knitting up my sweater, but so far, so good. I would highly recommend this course.

Knit My First Sweater

I am so excited - this is so perfect pattern and videos. I've knit my first sweater for my daughter-in-law, and it fits perfectly. As I had a thinner yarn, I used a bigger sizing in sts, and the right sizing in measures.

Knit your first sweater course
5 Stars

I have crocheted for a very long time but at the age of 60, I decided to try my hand at knitting. I LOVE IT! Now I am ready to try a sweater. I have viewed many videos and I just wasn't getting it. When I found this course I jumped on it! Chandie is so easy to follow and makes everything approachable. I wasn't scared at all. I am now in the middle of my first sweater ever and I am having a great time doing it. The pattern and videos are so worth the price. I can't wait to try more things and order my first quality yarns. I am now totally hooked on Expression Fiber Arts, just a huge fan! I highly recommend this course for an easy to understand beginner sweater pattern and videos!

Creery Sweater and Tutorial Course
5 Stars

Enjoying the process and the tutorial is a great help as I am new to knitting. I am hoping that the sweater will fit. My size is similar to you and it looks amazing on you! I admire your style :) My one issue I have with the tutorial, is that I always need to go to the original email to get to the tutorial. I can't seem to find another way to jump to it.

My first sweater! The Creery
5 Stars

I am so thankful that Chandi created this lovely tutorial. She taught me how to knit way back in 2016 when I found her you tube videos online. Ever since then I have been hiding away from the thought of knitting an actual decent looking sweater. But when I saw she had this available I knew I was going to be able to do it. It's straight forward and clear and also easy to figure out. I am currently binding off on my body of mine! Eek! So excited, and can't thank you enough for opening up this huge wonderful fiber world to me!! XOXO

This was great. Not my first sweater, but I watched all of the videos and learned some neat tricks as I am still learning. I finished the sweater in a week. The bulky yarn helped with that. Very satisfying.

Outstanding Tutorial
5 Stars

I still haven't knit this sweater, but I am very impressed with the clear video instructions. Chandi takes you step-by-step on the construction of this sweater from start to finish. I can't wait to purchase the bulky yarn and start knitting.

Tutorial "How to Knit your First Sweater"

Before this tutorial, I was absolutely frozen with fear to engage in a sweater pattern. It's supposed to fit, right? Well, it is so easy to follow the tutorial and the pattern is quite easy too. Thanks! I'll be ready to tackle the next sweater project on my own now.

I've watched the videos once so far, have my yarn ready to go - will be my first sweater. The pattern is very well written, but it's the videos that sold me on this - they are great in showing/explaining how to do each step. Can't wait to see how my sweater turns out. Thank you for this!!

Knit your first sweater - course
3 Stars

I was a little dissapointed as I thought that is a course, where it would have been explained how exacly the sweater was calculated and not a pattern where I had to follow some instructions. I mean, if you want to learn how to follow some instructions in a pattern then this course is great but if you actually want to learn how to create your own pattern / sweater then this is not what you are looking for.

Excellent video tutorials. This made my first knitting experience one I will never forget. Thank you for putting it out there.

Creery Sweater
5 Stars

Wonderful pattern! This sweater works up quickly, and the videos help with techniques which may be new for the knitter. I made mine during the KAL and the other knitters we're so helpful and supportive. While the sweater itself is basic, I see that as classic - and it can be customized as to length, sleeve style, and ribbing style.

Creery Sweater
5 Stars

Great sweater! The pattern is well written, and the videos clarify and simplify things. I made my sweater during the KAL, and the input from other knitters was quite informative. This pattern can be easily personalized for sleeve length/style, torso length, and ribbing type. A quick and uncomplicated sweater!
