Knitting Pattern Sweater

Knitting Pattern: Sweater

Are you interested in a new way to operate a knitting pattern? Or are you just starting to knit and want to learn to be really creative in the way you put together your knitting project?

Then you are in the right place. Spincraft knitting patterns are written so you can use any yarn, add all your own styles, and end up with a perfectly fitting sweater.

It's a little different, makes you do a little math, and make a few extra decisions. But in the end, knitting a sweater with a SpinCraft knitting pattern gives you a sweater that you can truly say is your own.

Knitting a sweater is quite a project to undertake, and most of us want to be pretty certain that we will end up with something we like... A sweater that fits and is attractive. That is why it is good to take some time, before starting, to prepare for the project.

(List of our Sweaters)

In my opinion, the most important detail of any knit garment, is the fiber. You would never want to knit a light summer sweater out of thick scratchy wool. And you would want a rugged, every day, sweater to be made out of something durable and easy to clean. But most important of all . . . I like my yarns to be nice to touch, smell and feel. After all, I am going to be handling it for hours and hour while I knit, and I want my knitting experience to be pleasant.

That's why I like to choose my fiber and yarn first, and then go looking for a knitting pattern. And that is one of the reason's I started designing my own patterns, and making them so that they would work for any size of yarn. I don't like to be stuck to a particular type or brand of yarn when I want to make a sweater!

The other reason I design knitted sweaters the way I do is because I can envision so many different ways to form knitting yarn around the human body. I want to try them all! Below are some of my designs and tips in why I created them the way I did.

The pictures below are links to the proper place to find the pattern in my secure shopping cart.

	Sweaters Knit from the Top Down One of my favorite ways to knit a sweater is from the top down. And the easiest way to knit a sweater from the top down is to start with a simple collar and then increase to shape the shoulders with an even increase that creates a raglan sleeve. Once you knit this type of sweater you'll be hooked forever! At SpinCraftPatterns.com you will find many variations of the Raglan Top Down sweater with different colors, and even a very exotic Irish Cable Knit version. It's knit all in one piece and there are no seams to sew up when you are done.
	Modified Raglan Sweater Knitting Patterns The problem is, after awhile you get tired of Raglan Sleeves! Who the heck would want every sweater they knit and wear to be the same shape! This next sweater, which I did in a nice lace pattern with cotton yarn, is a great solution. It starts out with Raglan Sleeve increases, but ends as a nice shaped fit. You can really do practically anything with knitting!
	Saddle Shoulder Sweater Knitting Patterns One of the coolest things around is the Saddle Shoulder Sweater. This sweater has a strip of knitting right down the shoulder to the sleeve. It really fits great! Starting a Saddle Shoulder at the top is real easy to do. This is a great project for the creative knitter. If you have any curiosity about how to create knitting shapes you have to try this pattern!
	Sweaters Knit from the Bottom Up There are a million ways to knit a sweater from the bottom up! But that doesn't mean you have to knit them in pieces. Almost all my designs are knit-to-fit all in one piece. One thing you should really try is the saddle shoulder versions knit from the bottom up. What that means is that the sweater isn't shaped all the way to the very top. Instead, you stop about the collar bone, knit the sleeve, and then join it all together with a lively knitted band. Very fun to do! And the shape will fit nicely too. Our shopping cart has some very creative ways to make great fitting sweaters that start down at the bottom.
	Sleeve to Sleeve Sweaters Have you ever wondered: Gee, I wish I could just start a sweater at one sleeve, and end up down at the tip of the final sleeve? Well, you can! Take a look in our shopping cart! You'll love it!
	Pieced Sweaters Every once in awhile there is a reason not to knit a sweater in one piece! So you will find that I do have a few creative patterns that are knit in pieces.
