Simple Fuzzy Sweater
This simple semi-fitted sweater is perfect for beginners and knitting pros alike. Add a great specialty yarn and the result is a casual look that’s perfect for a fall day at play. This project provides:
- Step-by-step instructions

- A helpful sizing diagram
This sweater was designed to be knit from the top down in one complete piece versus being knit in pieces, and then sewn together. The yoke is made the same way as for all other top-down sweaters, altering only slightly as you work the body downward. When working with bulky yarn, it’s a good idea to slim the silhouette as much as possible, keeping a trim look and reducing the amount (and therefore the weight) of yarn on the body as well. The yarn stretches to accommodate the decreases that are taken in along the body sides.
