Ever dreamed of the perfect handmade sweater that you reach for time and time again? That's what knitters love about Glenmore, our favourite, easy-to-wear with anything, sweater. Knit Glenmore for yourself, or choose the new Glenmore Mini, sized for little ones of all ages. It uses all of the same techniques as the adult sweater, just scaled down, so it's a great way to practice on a small project. Sweaters can be some of the most satisfying things you’ll ever make, but getting those first stitches on your needles can often be a bit daunting… and then there's quite a few steps after that to get right!
Based on the popular Glenmore knitalong that ran when the pattern first came out, we've taken all the elements people loved and made it better. The result is a complete sweater knitting course with brand new technique videos and support for customising your sweater fit. This time round, with the inclusion of Glenmore Mini, you'll also find advice on knitting sweaters that kids will get plenty of wear out of.
Plus we've set up beginner sweater knitters for sure success with new and expanded materials covering the basic techniques that you might not have tried yet. We want you to find the joy in your knitting so everything is broken down into bite-size steps to make sweater knitting less daunting. Life is too busy for failed sweaters, get ready for sweater success!
