Okay, we know that the most popular crochet video is for a beginner crochet blanket. But what about the knitters? What do they love most? What is Marly Bird’s most popular knitting video tutorial? Here it is:
That’s right; it’s my video tutorial for My First Big Comfy Sweater. People have really enjoyed the “My First” and “Absolute Beginner” knit and crochet video tutorials that I’ve done over the years. It’s a great way to get step-by-step visual instruction to complete a pattern for something you’d like to create, even if you’re new to the crafts. In this case, you can start as a beginner knitter and end up with your first sweater!
This sweater pattern uses garter stitch, stockinette stitch, and a rib at the hem. You create two same-shaped (T-shaped) knit panels and stitch them together. Therefore, you don’t need to learn increasing and decreasing, yet, to complete this oversized sweater pattern. It’s an easy design that you’ll be super proud of when it’s done!
