When you complete the 44th row on the newborn baby sweater, you should go towards casting off your stitches. First, knit the first two stitches and then bring the first one over the second one. At last, knit one stitch and bring the first one over to the new second one.
We suggest you keep on repeating the casting off all the stitches step to the end of the row. Then, you have to tie a knot through the last stitch to keep it secured.

Knitting a sweater is an art and technique which is fun to learn and practice. This guide has explained some important steps to follow when knitting a sweater for your newborn baby.
