This simple summer tee is a great introduction to knitting sweaters, with enough interesting details for more advance knitters. This top-down, seamless knit will cover swatching and choosing a size, two styles of increases and yoke shaping, separating for sleeves, and general fit and shaping techniques. Students should be comfortable knitting and purling in the round. This project is suitable for cotton and linen yarns as well as wool options.
