Novice Sweater Instructions

Printed instructions - by mail

The Novice Sweater is knitted from the top down. This means that you start with the neckline, then knit the yoke, then the body and finally the sleeves. The sweater is worked in stockinette stitch, but the edges are in ribbing.

The Novice Sweater has a round yoke. This is created by knitting increases during the knitting process - evenly distributed over four rounds on the yoke.
