Knitting a sweater for the first time can be daunting, but with a few tips from Craftsy and Lion Brand Yarns, a beginner can craft a well-thought-out piece. 1. Take accurate body measurements before starting a project. Only undergarments should be worn to ensure the best result. If a person expects to wear a camisole or tee shirt underneath the sweater, he or she should take measurements while wearing the garment. 2. Like sewing, seaming together knitted pieces works best when pinned together for alignment. Using yarn needles made especially for seaming also helps avoid splitting the material. 3. Take time to make a gauge swatch during the planning phase. This gives a person a better idea on how tightly he or she knits and the number of actual stitches created per inch. Depending on the swatch, the knitter can make necessary adjustments to create a perfectly fitting sweater.
