that's really helpful and it doesn't look out of place, thank you!
You're welcome! I don't like my sleeves too loose on granny cardigans so I figured others would feel the same 😊
This was so helpful! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’m working on my first granny stitch hexi cardi and I’m not in love with the wide sleeves (for myself). Now I can continue on with my sleeves!
Oh yay!! I'm the same with the hexi sleeves, too. Just not my style! So pleased you found the tutorial 🫶
That's EXACTLY what brought me here!
This tutorial is great but your accent is so lovely💗 it reminds me of my family so much🥰
Ahhh thank you. Where are they from?
Thank you so much for this very helpful tutorial. I am a beginner crocheter (6/7months in and taught myself from RUclips tutorials ) and I had designed my own granny stitch sweater. It was going fantastically up to the point where I realised I needed to taper the arms or I would have giant sleeves and I had no clue how to do this 😂😂😂 thankfully you had my back!
I'm so pleased you found it helpful. I teach beginner courses in my local community and so a lot of the videos I make are aimed at them. I hope you keep enjoying your new hobby!
Thank you so very much for showing this. I always wanted to know how to do this on my sleeves! ❤ 😊
You're welcome!! I'm not a fan of wide sleeves so figure others would feel the same. So pleased you've found the tutorial helpful 😀
this is a super helpful and original tip!! thanks!!!!
You're welcome!
Thnx, I'm doing a stripey hexi cardigan and hoping this will work for me ☺️
It should do! Good luck!
Thank you for this! I want to work the decreases in order to avoid poofy sleeves. Now I know how.
You're very welcome! I don't like poofy sleeves so I always taper them and thought there must be more people out there who feel the same! Haha! Glad it was useful 😊
This is helpful for the decrease. Would you show how to add (increase) with a granny stitch? I'm stuck on how to lengthen my next row. Thanks!
As you go, the rows will naturally increase at your corners. It’s a slow increase but it does! Hope it helps
I will try!
Thank you so much for that Video 🥰 lovely geets from germany
Bitte schön 😊 Ich spreche Deutsch!
To taper the sleeve further would you decrease by 1 every row untill desired width or every other row? Thankyou
The decrease works over a 2 row repeat so it wouldn't work every row. Instead, you could do 2 decreases per 2-row repeat to bring it in more 😊
Hi, I’m a new crochet and I’m pretty much understanding what you say but I got lost when you had the two crochets. I wish you would’ve did the first row preparing it and then the second one thank you in advance.
For the first row, you literally just place 2 dcs in place of the regular 3 dcs (granny cluster) in the area you'd like to have the decrease (so under the arm where it's less visible). That's the only difference to a regular row. I've placed a stitch marker in the middle of my 2dcs to make it clear where they are for row 2.
Excellent!! Thank you SO much🥰
You're welcome!!
I am a beginner trying to understand how you did the “ V “ Stitch ? . Thank you
For the V stitch you just place 2 dcs in the space between 2 granny clusters
Thank you so much!
You're welcome. Glad it was useful 😊
How did you come up with only 2 double crochet where you started your decrease
Just put 2 in the space instead of 3. Not quite sure if that's what you're asking though, sorry! 🙈
I've been crocheting for years, and I can't understand why you started the tutorial on round 2?
Because the first row is so simple (especially for experienced crocheters) that I didn't waste time showing you how to crochet two double crocheters instead of 3 double crochets. That's the only thing you need to do for the first row and I talk you through that rather than show you.
