Below is a list of patterns that are a great start for your sweater making adventures! Which one is your favorite? Have you added one to your queue already?Tell us all about it! These four are totally doable sweaters! Let us know if we can help you. Classes can be designed just for you, or check out some of Katy's up coming sweater classes in Northwest Arkansas!
