4. I would like to knit my infant son a sweater using a popcorn stitch. Please advise.
First off, a popcorn stitch is a crocheting stitch and so therefore a crochet hook will be needed. Secondly, choice of color and style must be chosen before attempting to create a sweater. This selection may be helped by doing research online or in yarn or fabric stores as to patterns and types of yarn to use. Then, getting a good idea of what size your son is by measuring the length of his arms and the width of his back and chest is a good idea.
5. Can you please describe a Cardigan sweater?
