Etta Sweater Knit-Along

IT'S ALWAYS SWEATER WEATHER!

The Etta Tee is a perfect first sweater for an adventurous beginner knitter. Top-down, in-the-round construction makes it easy to try on as-you-go. Colorful cotton yarn makes it fun to knit and means you can wear it almost any season-- from summer, to fall (it makes a great layer over a long-sleeve shirt). Jenny Fish shows you how to make it, step-by-step, in our FREE tutorials.

Join Jenny Fish for a free 4-part series as we knit the Etta Sweater with Jenny Fish. Start by choosing supplies and making a gauge swatch in the first Episode. In Episode 2, learn to keep track of a simple lace pattern as you knit the yoke. See how to divide for the sleeves, check the fit and work the rest of the body in Episode 3. In Episode 4, finish the edges, weave in your ends and block it so it's ready to wear.

Click the Playlist button to see all the episodes at your own pace. And don't forget to subscribe to be notified every time we have a new video (we post every Thursday).

Scroll down to select your color from the drop down menu. Please use the drop down and then cross- check the image to be sure you are getting the color you want.
