Who Do We Recommend the Dreamin’ Jumper Knitting Kit For?
We’re not kidding when we say the Dreamin’ Jumper is perfect for a beginner, for this reason. Wool and the Gang designs its patterns specifically to teach you knitting skills. This pattern will teach you how to: hold your needles, make a slip knot, cast on with the cable cast on, make a knit stitch, turn your work, work in garter stitch, to cast off, seam using the horizontal invisible, perpendicular invisible, and vertical invisible seam techniques, and how to weave in your ends. Whew! That’s a lot of learning in one package. And if you already have all those skills, you can definitely make this in a weekend or a couple of evenings.
