White Women's Sweater with Two Skewers
Are you looking for a cozy and comfortable sweater to wear during the chilly winter months? If so, why not make your own using just two skewers and some soft, fluffy yarn? In this post, I'll show you how to create a beautiful white women's sweater using basic knitting techniques. Let's get started!
Materials Needed:
4 skeins of white yarn (or color of your choice)
Two knitting skewers (size 8 or 9)
Stitch markers
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Instructions:
Step 1: Cast On Stitches
Start by casting on 100 stitches using the long tail cast on method. Place a stitch marker on the last stitch to mark the end of the row.
Step 2: Knit the Body
Knit the first row, then alternate between knitting and purling each row until the body of the sweater measures approximately 15 inches. Place a stitch marker at the end of the last row.
Step 3: Knit the Sleeves
Next, it's time to work on the sleeves. To do this, cast on 30 stitches at the end of each row, then knit the next row. After that, alternate between knitting and purling each row until the sleeves measure approximately 18 inches. Place a stitch marker at the end of the last row.
Step 4: Join the Sleeves
Once the sleeves are complete, it's time to join them to the body of the sweater. Place the sleeves onto the same skewer as the body, then knit the next row. Continue knitting the body and sleeves together until the entire sweater measures approximately 28 inches.
Step 5: Ribbed Collar
For the collar, knit 4 rows of ribbing (alternating between knitting and purling each row). Bind off the stitches and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
Step 6: Finish
Finally, it's time to try on your new sweater! You can wear it as is, or add some extra touches like buttons or pockets to make it your own.
Tips:
Make sure to use the same type of yarn throughout the entire project for consistency.
Always use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning and end of each row.
Practice your tension to ensure that the stitches are even throughout the entire project.
In conclusion, this white women's sweater is a simple yet elegant project that can be made using just two skewers and some soft, fluffy yarn. With a little bit of patience and practice, you'll be able to create a beautiful garment that you'll love to wear all winter long!
