Yes, so long as the sweater hasn't felted. If it's a new sweater the process is simple. Undo the seams, find the end of the knitting of each piece, undo the knot and pull. The stitches should pull out easily. However, if the sweater has been worn or washed in such a way that the stitches have started melding together, it will be impossible to unravel.
In knitting, "RSS" typically refers to "Really Simple Stitch," which is a basic stitch pattern that's easy to follow, making it ideal for beginners. It can also stand for "Row Start Stitch," indicating a specific stitch at the beginning of a row. Understanding these terms helps knitters communicate techniques and patterns more effectively.
I have 16 balls of Azalea patonised knitting and crochet wool here and when I untwist it it becomes 2 strands....which in reading some of the other things about wool its actually 4 ply....now I am looking for a fairly plain simple knitting pattern to use it on.
yup. the bigger the needle, the bigger your stitches. likewise, the smaller your needle, the smaller your stitches. simple really.
Try knitting a simple scarf.

Sweaters can be expensive to buy. If buying for a child, they are likely to grow out of it within the year, leaving you worrying about buying a new one. However, it is possible to save money on kid’s sweaters by learning to knit you own and using old or cheap wool. -Step 1: Wool You will need to choose wool or wools to use, based on color, texture and percentage of actual wool. Pure wool will likely be itchy, so go for a wool blend in a color they will like. -Step 2: Pattern You can either use an old pattern, or go out and buy a new one. The good thing about a pattern is that it will last several years, even when your child grows. Choose one that will not be dated in a year. -Step 3: Read the pattern Look at the pattern. It should tell you how many rows you need to knit for each part of the sweater, so start somewhere simple like a sleeve and work out how many rows you will need. -Step 4: Knit Start knitting the sweater. You may want to start long before winter, in order for it to be done in time. It might take a while, and you don’t want your child to have no sweater to wear. -Step 5: Sew Sew all the various pieces together as per the pattern, and you are done. Your child will be very happy with his new sweater. Knitting can be tedious, so listen to music, and set yourself a target number of rows per day to complete, so that you don’t give up half way. Keep an eye open for mistakes, so you don’t have to go all the way back, and you will save a lot of time and effort.
You can make dropped stitches, which are super simple if you know how to do yarn overs.
Neither is easier or harder. Some folks have an easier time learning to knit and some to crochet. It also depends on the pattern you tackle. Some patterns are very easy, using simple stitches. Other patterns are more difficult. Some designs might be easier in crochet, some in knitting. It is, for example, easier to do cables in knitting than in crochet though it is possible to do them in both crafts.
