"My tip: If you knit a sweater with thick yarn, you’ll finish quickly."
How thick does it knit and wear comfortably?
Make sure you can handle the yarn thickness of your dream sweater well. Too thick wool will be hard to knit, even if it keeps you warm.
If you haven’t worked much with large needle sizes yet, you should try that first.
For beginners, you should choose a simple construction and a single-stranded project.
If you already have experience with thick yarns, you can also consider more complicated patterns and multi-stranded projects.
- Knit a gauge swatch
- Check needle size
- Consider knitting level
- single- or multi-stranded
