Luckily for you Katy and Amanda have knit a few basic sweaters in the past few years and have spent just a few hours scouring Ravelry for just the right pattern for their chosen yarn. 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!
