How to Knit a Sweater
How to Knit Your First Sweater walks you through the entire sweater knitting process from beginning to end. By the end of the class, you will be a confident and capable sweater knitter ready to knit yourself all the cozy sweaters you dream of!
This class specifically covers the top-down seamless construction method with the increases worked in a circular fashion. The pattern used to demonstrate all the techniques is Woodsmoke. This sweater pattern was written specifically for new sweater knitters, and you will find it to be straightforward and simple to follow. The pattern also includes 20 sizes from baby through adult so you can knit a Woodsmoke in any size.
You can use the code FIRSTSWEATER for 20% off the Woodsmoke pattern on both Ravelry and my website. Links to the pattern are below:

If you would like your first sweater to have some colorwork in it, Blizzard and My Fletching are wonderful options. They both follow the same construction method as Woodsmoke. If you need some help learning to knit colorwork, I have a tutorial to help you! Links to the patterns and tutorial are listed below:
