Cozy Oversized Turtleneck Sweater

Cozy Oversized Turtleneck Sweater Pattern

This cozy oversized turtleneck sweater is easy to make and perfect for beginners! Follow these detailed steps to create a soft and fuzzy pullover that will keep you warm.

Materials:

• Yarn: 4 skeins of fuzzy yarn (approximately 200 yards per skein) in a warm orange color
• Needles: Size 10 (6 mm) circular knitting needles, 32 inches long
• Stitch markers
• Scissors
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

4 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch (use larger needles if necessary to obtain gauge).

Abbreviations:

• CO: Cast On
• k: Knit
• p: Purl
• st(s): Stitch(es)
• RS: Right Side
• WS: Wrong Side

Instructions:

1. Cast On: CO 80 stitches (or the number needed to reach your size) onto the circular needles. Make sure to do this loosely for comfort.
2. Join to Work in the Round: Be careful not to twist your stitches. Place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round.
3. Body:
   • Round 1: *Knit 1, Purl 1*; repeat from * to end of round for ribbing. Continue this for 6 rounds.
   • Round 7: Knit all stitches to begin the stockinette stitch section. Continue knitting every round until the piece measures 24 inches from the cast on edge.
4. Shaping the Turtleneck:
   • Once you reach 24 inches, switch to the ribbing pattern again (K1, P1) and work for an additional 4 inches.
   • Bind off loosely in this pattern. Leave a long tail for sewing.
5. Sewing the Neck:
   • Fold the neckline down to create a turtleneck effect and sew the edges together using your yarn needle and the long tail from the bind-off. Make sure it feels comfortable.
6. Finishing:
   • Weave in all loose ends using the yarn needle.
   • Block your sweater gently to set the stitches and give it a nice finish.

Your cozy oversized turtleneck sweater is now complete! Enjoy wearing it on cool days or lounging at home. Happy knitting!
