How to knit sweater with straight needles?

Knitting with straight needles means working the front and back panels separately, then sewing them together. This traditional method suits flat knit patterns and beginner projects. Use stitch markers to maintain symmetry and measure gauge carefully. After knitting both pieces, seam the shoulders and sides, add neckline and cuffs, and block gently. Straight-needle knitting teaches foundational sweater construction principles.
