To work the garter stitch, knit all of your rows. [11] X Research source
To work the stockinette stitch, alternate between knitting and purling your rows. For example, you would knit the first row, then purl the second row, then knit the third row, and so on. [13] X Research source
To bind off, knit the first two stitches in the row, and then loop the first stitch over the second stitch. Then knit one, and loop the first one over the second one. Continue to knit one and loop the first over the second until you have bound off the first 4 stitches in the row. [14] X Research source

To increase, knit into the stitch as usual, but do not slip the old stitch off the needle yet. Knit into the same stitch again by inserting the needle through the back of the stitch instead of through the front of the stitch. Then allow the old stitch to slide off as the two new stitches replace it. [20] X Research source

Keep in mind that you will need to rethread the needle before sewing each piece of the sweater, so have some yarn ready to go.
Repeat this for both sleeves.
Repeat this for both sides of the sweater. Leave the piece turned inside out for now.
Repeat this for both sleeves.
Make sure to do this while the sweater is still turned inside out. Be careful not to make the neck opening too small or you may not be able to get the sweater over your head. After you finish sewing the shoulders and shaping the neckline, tie off the thread and cut the excess. Then, turn the sweater inside out to hide the seams. Your sweater is complete!
