Knit: Southwood Pullover

What a great project for an adventurous beginner or someone looking for a basic first sweater! This classic sweater is a basic, top down, raglan pullover sweater knit in worsted weight that is knit without seams. A great project for knitting your first garment with a pattern that includes a full range of sizes from child to adult, and includes two neckline options. This will be your "go to" pattern for knitting garments for anyone!
Must already know how to knit and purl.
In this class, you will learn different increases as well as German short rows. You will also learn a backward loop cast on and picking up stitches. This pattern is worked in the round, from top down with raglan increases for sleeves. Long sleeves too hot for summer? That's alright, you can always choose to make the sleeves shorter.
Materials:
- worsted weight yarn (880-2000 yds for adult size)
- at least 4 stitch markers (one in a different color to designate beginning of round (BOR))
- tapestry needle to weave in ends
- two stitch holders (for sleeve stitches while working on the body)
Needles:
- US 6 and 8 circular needles in 16in and/or 24in
- US 6 and 8 DPNs or at least 40in circular for magic loop
Please be sure to knit a gauge swatch with your selected yarn and size 8 needles to bring to class. Swatch should measure about a 6 inch square for determining gauge.
