Top 10 easiest summer sweaters to knit and what yarn to use Summer is the best time to knit and summer sweaters are about the easiest to make because there are not sleeves, and typically the shaping is pretty easy. Who doesn't love that. I've selected 10 of the easiest and most attractive summer sweater patterns for you and I've looked at the the yarns required and suggested which yarn to use for each. You can even download a handy spreadsheet with a link to all the summer sweaters, their patterns on Ravelry with the gauge and my yarn recommendations.

    I'm a newer knitter and I look for patterns without complicated construction methods and simple knitting patterns. TFS

    Absolutely- I think a lot of newer knitters shy away from sweaters that are knit bottom up and seamed, but top down in-the-round sweaters often have much more complicated construction requirements

    As a man, I appreciate and was wondering if a women's sweater can also become a man's sweater, maybe color change or so, but is that possible to use a women's pattern for a man? Thank You and I know the ? sounds stupid

    Hey, that doesn’t sound stupid at all. A sweater is a sweater, and I don’t think anything makes a garment inherently masculine or feminine. You just want to choose the style that suits you and the fit you like. Start with a dropped shoulder design. They tend to be very flattering on the square shoulders of a man’s build. My advice is always to measure a sweater that fits you the way you like it and choose the size that’s closest to that measurement. With the extended size range available in most patterns, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a size to fit. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment and reach out 😊
