When you purchased the course, you should get an immediate PDF download. This will provide you with the written pattern along with the link to the video tutorials. If you did not immediately download the PDF, when you log into your account at expressionfiberarts.com, click on orders and then find the order for the Sweater. There you will be able to find the download for the PDF. I hope this helps. 🙂
I have downloaded the .off and the link doesn’t work. Can you help? I have ordered patterns and yarn and love them all. Thank you so much for the free patterns.
Absolutely! message me here: https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ and I would be happy to help you.
Do the sizes listed for the bust include the ease, are they finished bust sizes? Or are they actual bust sizes? Thanks.
They include ease. ❤️
Hi, I purchased the Knit Your FirstSweater Course , Order # 1256738 on 4/15/20, and was able to download the PDF Pattern, but there isn’t a video course attached. I went on You tube and I have my collar complete, but I need access to the rest of the course please. Thank you so very much, I can hardly wait to move forward 🥰
Hi Karen. Within the PDF, there is a link to the videos. When you click on the link, you will have access to them. If you still need help, please write me at https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ and I will be able to offer you more help. 😊
Thank you for sharing your skills and gift with us. Thank you for all the freebies along the way!
Thank you for this! I just received my buttery bulky and I’m balling it up tonight. Question: During the tutorials, did you alternate skeins?
We didn’t alternate skeins during the tutorial. However, if you want to ensure you have a more “even” project, I would suggest alternating skeins. ❤️
Hello! I’ve just ordered this course and another pattern, and I’m so excited to be making my first knitted jumper soon. I see the instructions ask for your yarn, but please can you tell me what weight yarn you would recommend, so I can buy the yarn locally instead? I live in Australia so shipping during coronavirus will be too long to wait!!
I would recommend buying bulky weight yarn. I think y’all call it 14 ply. 🙂
Hi I have a question. I’ve never knitted anything in my life and was wonder how much buttery bulky yarn is needed and what other tools will I need?
It would depend on the size you are knitting. Here is a link to the pattern that will explain to you the sizing. https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/knit-your-first-sweater-course.html You will also need circular needles, a darning needle, and some tools to block your project. I hope this helps!
Hi, do we need both US 10 circular and US 11 circular, it’s not clear to me. Is it ok if my circular is 40″ instead of 24″ or 32″? DPN needles, do we need 6″ or 8″?
You don’t have to have both necessarily. It’s not crucial. Just make sure you get gauge for the body and you should be good. Yes, it’s okay to have longer circulars. Thanks for checking!
This is an awesome course, I would highly recommend beginner knitters to do this project, the videos are amazing.
Hi- same as the folks above.. I didn’t receive the pdf, just a rewards notice..??? can you please make this easier for folks?? this is very confusing..
I’m sorry you didn’t receive the PDF. Please write us here: https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ and we will make sure you get it.
Hi….I got the PDF but I don’t see any link to videos….can you email them to me?
The links to the video should be in the PDF course. Once you click on that link you will be taken to the videos. Please contact us here: https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ if you need further support. Thank you!
Looked for the link in the pdf. Found what is supposed to look like the link. The link does not work. Thank you

Hi Chandi ; I was wondering how can I the pattern for ” How to knit your first sweater”
Here’s the link to the course, which includes the Creery pattern and access to the entire video series: https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/knit-your-first-sweater-course.html
Hello : ). I purchased this yesterday morning (10/12/22) and never received the pdf and/or pattern links. I checked both emails I use and all the folders. I also emailed yesterday late afternoon to the “info” email address and I haven’t heard back so I thought I would try here. If you aren’t offering this any more, can I get a credit for the funds against a yarn purchase, or a refund? I would rather have the course but perhaps this is not longer available
