Seamless Knit Sweaters in 2 Weeks: 20 Patterns for Flawless Cardigans, Pullovers, Tees and More

The book is really nice. I LOVE that on each pattern the sizes are given at the beginning and the finished measurements are given at the end, along with a drawing of it to show where measurements were taken. Cables are charted as well as written, so you’re good either way. Instructions are clear and well written. One complaint I saw on the comments was that the patterns were somewhat similar. Yes, that’s kind of true, but they are a great study in how small changes can make a different look and they are a great blank canvas to add your own touches to, so I’m happy and have plans for several projects from the book. Ravelry is perfect for this because you can go see all 20 patterns before you buy the book. There aren’t as many pics as I would like, but the ones that are there show enough to get a good idea how it will look/fit. Besides, every pic added increases the size and cost of the book and, within a couple of months I’m sure there will be plenty of projects to look at on Ravelry. The first chapter talks about things you should consider; ease, yarn substitutions, swatches, tips to get the fit you want, etc. Good info that even a seasoned knitter could benefit from and vital for new knitters. Each project has similar set up; yarn notes, all needles needed, notions, gauge, a blurb about construction, a list and explanation of all stitch abbr used in the pattern, recommended ease and tips throughout the pattern, including stitch counts at important junctures. I’m very pleased with the book and as I said, have plans for several projects. Just another thought, these patterns are fairly simple to allow you to make a sweater in 2 weeks IF you are experienced with making sweaters, but these are also great for an advanced beginner (or a beginner with gumption) because of the simplicity; it will just take maybe 2 months instead of 2 weeks. Great patterns either way you look at it. UPDATE: Yes, I really did knit a sweater from this book in two weeks. The Meridian Sweater. Now, it was the ONLY thing I worked on for the two weeks, and I had a long weekend with an eight hour road trip, plus evenings to do it. I have experience with top down sweaters, I have no kids and an understanding husband :), but I just wanted to say that it can be done. I've worn the sweater multiple times and just love it. Definitely have plans to make more. I'm kmcelw on Ravelry if you want to see my notes from it. I just wanted to see if I could do it in two weeks, probably won't try to do that again, but will be knitting more. Please don't let the "two weeks" scare you; so what if it takes you longer - you'll still have a beautiful sweater at the end.

Love that there are plenty of patterns, love that the instructions are clear and uncomplicated. Love that all the sweaters have built in ease. The majority use worsted or DK weight. There is only one that uses a sport weight. All sweaters have a detailed description of not only the yarn used but the characteristics of the yarn. By describing some yarn you may not know you can relate that to a similar weight yarn with the same characteristics in your stash. I love the unique tips like How Long will it take me to knit this, the author gives you a time it could take you but she goes a step further by giving you two different ways to calculate your own time. It is truly a useful tool that I have not seen before in a book and I own over a 130 knitting books. This book is a bargain as individual quality patterns could run you $7 a piece easily, and if you are a beginner you will find something to knit, it you are experienced you will want to knit them all easily, I waited 6 months for this book and it is worth it.

I’ve never found a knitting book that I liked as much as this one. The patterns are quick and gratifying. They fit this 5’ little housewife, they can legitimately be done in 5 weeks and they’re beautiful. I’m planning on making 15 of the 20 patterns. That’s an astonishing amount of wearable garments for one book.

Easy book to knit with , I will look forward to knitting some of these designs

I’m not a fan sewing sweater pieces together, therefore any way I can get around it makes me happy. This book has it! Marie has created fun and beautiful patterns that aren’t fussy or confusing. She has cardi’s, cabling, lace, raglan, tees, turtlenecks..so much! Instructions are complete.. Her yarn choices can easily be transferred to your liking. She includes grams and yards and so many sizes. She includes stitch glossary, tips and my favorite: Stitch Count Check in’s…so wonderful for me. I’m always wondering if I’m on the right track. I wish every pattern had this. Thank heaven her patterns are size inclusive. I’m a 50 inch bust and 80% of the pattern I want to knit don’t even come close. Conversion for sweaters are my nemesis. I’ve tried bigger needles, adding stitches, modding patterns…ugh nothing ever works for me. So, all the pretty sweaters most are knitting are beyond my reach. Marie has gifted me with more pretty sweaters I can actually knit now without worrying that I’m wasting my time.such a blessing. I can’t wait for more by Marie.

The patterns are for the most part easy, some are more intricate. The pattern index works which makes searching for a pattern easy on the Kindle. I have no complaints about the layout of the book in the kindle and I do like many of the patterns in this book. I like how the patterns are written, with instructions for whether or not the pattern is designed for ease or not and why a particular type and blend of a yarn was chosen by the designer for a pattern. In each pattern are number count checks which are a really nice detail, along with schematics which I find very helpful when making decisions about adjusting a pattern (like making a longer body or sleeve) and maybe needing to purchase more yarn. This designer is very good about answering on line specific pattern questions. Very happy with this purchase and this kindle version of the book.

Simple patterns, excellent instructions! I bought so I could do my first top-down sweater, and it did not disappoint. Almost finished (June 2025) and very happy with the result.

The positives are the book is beautiful. The sweaters created are lovely but the yarn the author recommends is expensive at least $20 per skein. As one sweater is 6 skeins it is out of my price range.

This is a great sweater book from a very nice and talented lady. I met Marie at a knitting retreat a few years ago. The sweater construction is interesting and provides a good fit. I originally bought this book in the US but couldn’t bring it with me when I moved. I replaced it here in Spain so I could continue makes more sweaters from it!

Good patterns
