This tutorial took me well over a hundred hours to record. It's the most extensive tutorial I ever created and I wanted to include everything you need to know to kit a sweater that truly fits. Knitting a sweater is easy. There's not a lot you actually need to know. The issue is to make it fit. This requires proper measuring and diligent calculations. I show you all these important steps and pass along helpful tips and tricks along the way.
Please understand that you will have to do your own research as well. There is a pattern that goes along with it and the video is best seen in the context of that pattern.
Why did I decide on a bottom-up Raglan sweater? Quite simply because I believe it's the easiest way to knit a sweater that fits well for a beginner.
