How to make Sweaters

                           Indian Sweater Designs(from Garhwal)

                                                        ( for new born baby)

Things required:
1. wool
2. knitting needle
3. simple needle

Here are few common steps to make yr Sweater..(Bt before we start here are few suggestions for u) 

a. For thick wool -  we will take less no. in counts of ( stitches)

b. For thin wool - We will take more  no. of ( stitches)

STEP 0. Border : -  Make border line with the help of 10no. knitting needle. Here is the video..

                                                             (Border line)

U can make border line like this with single thread, but this is not long durable. So U can use 3-4 no of threads instead of one (How? U can see in the next video,this will help u to understand), but for practice u can use this procedure..

                   video no 2:

                  (a) For Kids-Below 3yrs - 60 stitches
