Hello! Today I will be teaching you how to knit the front of this sweater top on a knitting machine, which I demonstrate on my LK-150. This is part 1 of a 5 part series on how to make this top and skirt set. In it I demonstrate all of the techniques used to make my new pattern "You Glow Girl" which you can find linked above. The pattern contains 10 sizes, and in this video I demonstrate making the size 3.

The techniques I cover in this video are how to cast on and knit mock ribbing, how to knit the increase rows at the bust and customize the length of the top, how to bind off for the underarms, shape the underarms, put the left side and neckline on hold, and how to shape the neckline. I then show you how to knit the short row shoulder shaping, how to scrap off the shoulder and neckline, and lastly how to knit the other side mirroring the shaping and short rows. Enjoy!
