    This is a beautiful cardigan! I bought this pattern book for my Christmas gift. I buy my own gifts because I get exactly what I want! LOL I can see doing the Norwegian method of working in the round with the pattern work is a lot easier than knitting and purling back and forth. This is going to be on my bucket list to do. I'll research how to do the sleeves since I'm not clear on it. Thank you very much!

    Amazing. You are both so talented. Knitting in the round changed my life! I've recently started a hat and glove set using Portuguese knitting (I saw your older video re different knitting styles) in the round and I was surprised how easy was to get the hang of. I've got a long way to go before I could do something like one of these gorgeous sweaters but maybe some day soon I'll give it a try. Thank you for all your inspirational videos.

    @antoinettemccollum729 4 года назад

    Beautiful cardigan. I could visualize how to work it bottom up in the round very clearly listening to your instructions. One would use a drop sleeve versus a set in sleeve and pick up around the steeked edges for the placket. Right? ☺️

    Surely additional stitches are necessary for the steeks at the front, and armholes - which can also carry the shaping for the sleeves.

    • @ARNECARLOS
      @ARNECARLOS  4 года назад

      There is actually no need for that.We never add any extra stitches because the knitted fabric is elastic and therefore it is totally unnecessary. But, it is up to anyone to do so, if they wish.

  • @erniejofo
    @erniejofo 4 года назад +1

    I'm nervous. I just finished a pullover made out of Berrocco superwash. I now love the feel of it and the color but not the style. I wish I had made it in a cardigan style instead. My issue is that I already wet blocked and air dried it naturally. Is it to late to steek? It has bottom and neck ribbing.

    • @ARNECARLOS
      @ARNECARLOS  4 года назад

      You can try, but if you have already blocked it do you need to steam it?

  • @lynetteruest480
    @lynetteruest480 4 года назад +1

    Thank you so much for explaining why your patterns are published as flat instead of in the round. I love Freja but would not want to do colorwork flat in peices. It’s not the purling that is off putting to me rather it is reading the patterns one way for the knit round and from left to right for the purl - drives me crazy and I have to frog when I forget. I made Tuva and made a mistake in the neckline placement as I added stitches to the sleeves and that threw off the placement of the neck - but I sort of fixed it and still wear it. I want to make Tuva again. OK back to the subject matter - have you considered making a video for purchase that would show step by step how to convert Freja? Maybe asking for questions before video is made and addressing our concerns in the video? I love this pattern but would not attempt it knitted in the flat. Arne, I love your explanations, but you have been doing patterns etc for so long and for someone like me who has never steeked or altered a pattern it seems scary to do as I fear I would ruin the pattern and not know how to make it beautiful. I do not understand the add one stitch for placement, and have other questions. It would be fun and so full of learning new techniques if there was a way we could do it together as a group. thank you another wonderful video!

    • @ARNECARLOS
      @ARNECARLOS  4 года назад +1

  • @billotoole1563
    @billotoole1563 4 года назад +1

    It has been my understanding that it is an industry standard for yarn companies to publish their patterns as pieces knitted flat to appeal to a broader audience in marketing their yarn. As Arne has explained, it is an easy matter to convert a flat pattern to an in-the-round pattern, provided that you take into consideration what number of stitches may have been used within the seam allowance. I think it is much easier than converting an in-the-round pattern to flat. I personally prefer to knit in the round, however, as a XXL sized man, I am instantly defeated when I have to cast on 300 to 360 stitches, just to get started! I am currently working on a stranded pullover where I am knitting the individual “flat” pieces in-the-round, with the intention of steeking them apart and then sewing the pieces together afterwards. I may decide it is more work than necessary, but the idea of seeing the colorwork pattern develop quicker over 156 stitches rather than 300 (my steek is 6 stitches wide), may keep me motivated. Sometimes you just have to try something yourself in order to decide if you like it or not. Thank you, Carlos & Arne, for endorsing the idea that we are free to adjust patterns to suit our own personal tastes and methods!

    How many steek stitches would you add for the front and arm openings? I adore this sweater. Thank you.

    • @ARNECARLOS
      @ARNECARLOS  4 года назад +1

      Hi Patti, we do not add any. We never add additional stitches for steeking in the front because when you sew on the placket, you are adding those stitches there - in other words, the plackets will have plenty of stitches because they overlap. Knitting is elastic and easily adaptable and one or two stitches more or less makes absolutely no difference. But, for those who wish to add extra stitches, please feel free to do so.
      We never add any extra stitches because the knitted fabric is elastic and therefore it is totally unnecessary. But, it is up to anyone to do so, if they wish.

    Hi Arne & Carlos, love this pattern and colors. I remember in an earlier video you talked about how traditional patterns would take the neck steak into consideration in pattern placement so that the pattern was not chopped into by the steak. How might you suggest adjusting Freya around the neck similarly?

I tried it once and had a hard time, controlling the threads and get an even stitch. It just looked like a mess, because I didn't knew how to carry the float. Do you have any tips for that problem?

  • @jseuclide
    @jseuclide 4 года назад

    I purchased the pattern for Freya and all the rowan yarn to make it. When I read the pattern, I almost threw it in the fire thinking of all the color work that I would have to purl - and thinking of reading the chart backwards on every other row. I have been trying to work out how to knit it in the round and your cavalier attitude towards this change gives me courage.
    I bought the .pdf and the chart is unreadable. It is very small and the print is very hard to distinguish. Any thoughts ? I want to make this my covid19 winter 2020/21 project.

    • @ARNECARLOS
      @ARNECARLOS  4 года назад

      Since it is a Rowan pattern, even if it is designed by us, it need to go through the Rowan customer service. Please contact them and ask if they can send you a larger chart.

    @roset.7446 4 года назад

    What did Arne mean when you knit the section on the armhole as a whole going up the neckline?
    Also, you don't decrease sts on the neckline as a personal preference? That means that the hole for the neckline would be more fitted?

    • @ARNECARLOS
      @ARNECARLOS  4 года назад

      Hi, thank you for watching! But you do not need to decrease anything in the neckline when you are going to steek it anyway, you just fit the neckline using a pair of scissors.
