The Swinter Sweater is worked holding two strands of yarn together and from the bottom up. It uses a 3-needle bind off to seam the shoulders together and you pick up stitches to create the neckline as well as the arms. Overall there is very little seaming involved and it flows quite nicely! Knowing how to pick up stitches, knit in stockinette, knit in garter stitch, use the three needle bind off method, and I-cord bind off will be required for this pattern (videos are included to help if you are unsure about any of these methods!)
