How many stitches do I need to knit a sweater?
Start by casting the number of stitches for the size of your sweater using the size 8 needles. For example, you’ll need 63 stitches for a small sweater, 70 for a medium, and 77 for a large. Once you’ve casted your stitches, begin working in the garter stitch, which will form the bottom border of your sweater.
