Newer knitter? 

Starting with a child's sweater allows you to learn all the techniques on a small scale that can then be transferred to the adult version. If you are an experienced knitter, this is a great template for a fast, basic child's sweater.


An adult version is also available as well as a step-by-step video workshop that includes both sweater versions!
