Knitting – Intermediate – Sweater Sleeves

To knit sleeves onto a sweater, you will need to follow these steps:

First, make sure you have the right size needles for the yarn you are using.

Start by casting on the required number of stitches for the sleeve onto your needles. You can find the number of stitches to cast on in the pattern or by taking measurements of the armhole opening of the sweater.

Knit the sleeve in the pattern specified by the pattern or to your desired length. You may need to increase or decrease stitches to shape the sleeve as you go.

When the sleeve is the desired length, you will need to bind off the stitches to finish the edge of the sleeve. To do this, knit two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Knit another stitch, and repeat the process until you have only one stitch left on the needle. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail, and pull the tail through the final stitch to secure it.

Repeat the process for the other sleeve.

Once you have both sleeves complete, you can attach them to the sweater. To do this, place the sleeves on top of the sweater so that the cast-on edge of the sleeve is aligned with the armhole opening. Use a yarn needle to sew the sleeves onto the sweater, matching the stitches and working from the bottom of the sleeve up to the top.

Weave in any ends and you’re done!
