5. The Seamless Raglan Cardigan
For beginners who want to skip the sewing needle entirely, a top-down seamless raglan cardigan is a fantastic choice. You start at the neckline and work your way down, increasing stitches evenly at the raglan lines to shape the sleeves and body organically. While it introduces basic garment shaping, working in the round allows you to try on the piece as you go to ensure a custom fit.
