The Rebecca Sweater is the perfect design for a beginner knitter. The Rebecca Sweater is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up! It’s a super easy pattern that I hope you will be able to knit whilst watching TV! Apart from the front and back panel separation and the neckline shaping, this pattern is just three tubes!

I have used a random colour changing technique using purl rows in my example in the picture above. You can use whichever colour changing technique you wish, or you could not change colour at all! The purl rows are optional!

Please use any combination of yarns held together that gets you the correct gauge. I love stash busting and making something beautiful out of what you already have in your yarn stash!

Yarn amounts
Because this pattern is a stash buster and some yarn types are heavier than others (eg. cotton is heavier than merino) it is quite tricky to get an approximate yarn amount for this pattern. Please use measurements below as a guide
If using Double Knitting yarn held together you will need between 300 and 1000 grams
If using chunky yarn you will need between 300 and 1000 grams/ 426-1420 yards
