Pattern is still 100% free on the website, for those reading this in 2025 🙂 Just gotta scroll down a bit on the page linked in the description box! I haven't made this yet, but going to give it a try soon when I'm feeling ambitious. Thank you for the free tutorials and lovely video! 🩷
You are an excellent instructor. You explain so clearly and it’s obvious that you’ve planned out what to say so that you don’t have a lot of uhhs and umms taking up time. I always appreciate good teaching. Good job!
Попробувала,этот узор стягивает,хоть и вязала мягко растягивая пряжу,мая шерсть,но увы.....не понравилось в изделии,да -на образце все было нормально,отправила и т.д.А вот начала кардиган и привязав см 40-увидела что стягивает и распустила,буду искать другой,а жаль ,мне понравилось.
I did, so lovely, soooo pretty pretty, easy for beginners. i enjoyed it so much. Made it for my daughter, so happy. I would like to say thank you for your sharing.. ❤️❤️❤️
I've searched and tried so many cardigan patterns over the last few days and then I came across your one, it's definitely not intimidating like others I've seen... I've just started making this and I'm loving it so far, thankyou for making this video, I'm excited for the end result
I decided to go bolder with the color instead of one of my usual fave colors. I chose Heartland Haleakala...a beautiful chartreuse... it's gorgeous !!! Heartland yarn is a perfect choice for a lot of garment patterns. I'm more of an advanced crocheter and love quick projects for myself, and do more complicated patterns for others and gifts. So this pattern was great a project to try for myself first. Thanks Jess! ❤
i do it to relax even if i have one yarn ball and wil have to undo it in the end to do more but crochet is therapy to me again tahnk you so much , my therapist became a fan of yours and i showed her the dwell sweater, once I'm done with exams I'll make it for her , keep going please
LOVE THIS. I had tried a shrug at least 5 times, NEVER turned out. My daughter wanted this one and I can not believe I did it in a week and IT FIT BEAUTIFULLY. I am now making another...THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
I completed my cardigan yesterday. Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial. For this interested, I made the size M/L and used ~1800 yards of Alize Lanagold Classic yarn.
Omg, this turned out so great! Yosemite colorway. I showed it to my nieces before the sleeves were attached and they convinced me to leave them off. I did, and love the shrug look for layering. Just an option. Great pattern. Bought more yarn today to make another as they both want one.
Hi Jess i just stumbled on your video and fell in love with this cardigan so decided to make it as we're going towards winter here in Australia. Although I'm quite capable to follow the video to make it, i decided to buy the pattern as a manner of thanking you for your hardwork and your generosity in sharing. And it goes without saying that I'm subscribing! 😊
I absolutely love your easy to follow videos!!!! This will be the second sweater im making from your videos!!!! Thank you for being so easy to follow!!!!
I absolutely love this pattern but was incredibly sad when I got all of it done but the sleeves and tried it on for the 2-3x and it was way too small. I followed the pattern exactly. Your work is lovely and I love that you provide free written patterns as well. But maybe try looking into more true to size measurements for us bigger women?❤
i just finished making mine ( black) and it can't be any better❤❤ thank you so much for your easy to understand explanation and the free written pattern 😘😘 i used M/L size measurements and it fits me perfectly
Make & Do Crew how many sticks did you have to do for yours. I have a very hard time understanding it when its written. And would love to make one but dont understand how many I need to start.
I made a M/L for myself. So for the first row, I chained 99. The written pattern explains how to adjust for sizing if you need a different size. Hope that helps!
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm advanced beginner who never made clothes before. I went one size up which turned out baggy. However this is draped one it still looks so nice! I'm gonna make one for my kids. Very simple and easy tutorial to follow. Again, thanks!
That's the great thing about this sweater - even if it is baggy, it still looks cozy and stylish! I'm glad you like yours, and happy to hear the tutorial was helpful.
Love this pattern. I modified mine a bit but I absolutely adore how it turned out! I'm glad I listened to the advice of another commenter and used lighter, softer yarn because it would be too heavy otherwise.
@@angelajackson2108 sure! I used 4 ply acrylic yarn. I think they also call that sport weight or light 3 weight in US - not sure, sorry Im in Australia 🤷 I wear this cardigan all the time - it's super comfortable and the stitch looks so good
I just completed a size large in burgundy for my older sister. Thank you so much for sharing! Your instructions were really clear and concise. I’ve only been crocheting since February and this was the first garment I made!
OMG!!!! I just finished my sweater & you were right! I do feel like a Crotchet Goddess in this sweater. I have to have several of these in different colors now. Thank you so much for posting!
I bought some red yarn to make my mother something! It was a dye lot and before I could buy enough they discontinued the yarn. I’ve been so sad cuz it’s not enough for a blanket and she loves it too much to use for “just anything” Now I know exactly what I will be doing with the yarn!! Thank you so much! I feel like every woman needs this cardigan!!
This is Beautiful Frances. Can’t wait to crochet this beautiful sweater. Your instructions are so clear. I love your patterns and I have purchased the other sweater you also have a tutorial for. I love them all. Thank you for teaching us crocheters. Always love to learn new crochet patterns ❤️❤️
I've now made 2 of these sweaters and love them! The 2nd one, I went up a size and ignored the gauge since I could never get it. My sweater is roomy and fits like the one shown on the model.
I cannot wait to start this project ! So many colour ideas for not only me but family and friends winter gifts! Thank you thank you thank you! I am a new subscriber and a newbie at crochet and your tutorial was super easy and informative ✨🥰🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hi Suzanne - yay! This cardigan is perfect for beginners, and I'm sure you'll have no trouble with it. It will make a great gift for winter. We are glad to have you with us!
I love the pattern! I did the cardigan and it's so beautiful. Now I'm doing a blanket with the grit stitch and I'm already in love with it. Thank you so much for the video!
I would consider myself an intermediate crocheter and started this piece with the same yarn and hook size yesterday. I am 20 rows in, so I am not going to start over, but I would like to state that the gauge you gave for this piece was a ways away from what I have made. I didn't have a ruler on hand and was following along with the written pattern, so I could be to blame, but it seems a little far fetched in myt opinion. I am making a small and the width in the pattern is 38.5 inches for the beginning rectangle and I have ended up with a width of 31 inches! I'm sure this will just make do for a more snug piece but my mind is kind of blown away with the difference... this is just a heads up to anyone wanting to start this project!
Mine is a bit smaller too. Measuring 33 inches. I'm going to add a few more rows "up" so I can get a bit closer to that measurement. Was off that way too. But, first time making this, and I'm not ripping out 64 rows....LOL
Hello, I just started this cardigan and noticed your question. I’m having the same problem, but I’m only 3 rows in. I printed the pattern out and also making a small. She states that the Finished rectangle dimensions width is 41.5 and height is 22”. I’m using same yarn and needles but I’m coming up with 30 for width and I am a loose crocheter. I just can’t figure her numbers out. Do you think going up a size in the hook would help. I’m also sorry for asking you all these questions and thank you if you have any advice. I left a message for her but she hasn’t responded.
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue. Even with a hook size several sizes up it's still coming up too small on the swatch. Curious to know how others have resolved this.
Thank you so much!!! It is so easy to understand you; you are so clear and concise and get straight to the point without running off on a tangent. I absolutely love this, it's beautiful and even though I'm only two rows in, the stitch already looks effortlessly beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️
That's so great to hear! I'm happy that the video tutorial is helping, and you're already making great progress. It'll be done just in time for cooler temps!
I have made 2 of these now, and here is what I learned: The grit stitch is kind of a thermal stitch. It's a great stitch for this sweater, but it takes FOREVER. For the first sweater, I used a medium weight acrylic yarn, and I almost gave up because it was such a grind. It took me 20 hours to complete the sweater. The second one I did, I used Cascade Eco + 100% wool yarn which is bulky weight. This went much faster, it's a lovely yarn that isn't too expensive, and because it's 100% wool it didn't end up too heavy which would weigh down the stitch. When starting the rectangle, I used 2 strands of yarn for the foundation chain, hoping that the measurement from foundation chain to stitch wouldn't shrink. Even then, the measurement shrunk by a lot once I got going. I wanted my panel to be 41" wide, so I made sure my foundation chain was at least 46" long. I did not add the butt extension for the second sweater. I found I could see a transition where there was tension, and it pulled the collar portion where the extension begins. It was plenty long enough for me without it anyway. I didn't have any problems with the collar bunching, maybe because I used 2 strands together for the foundation chain. At the very last row of the collar, I chained 2 and then did a border row of hdc along the bottom. For the sleeves: I ended up removing the sleeve and going without, as for some reason the sleeves just didn't sit right and made me look like I have popeye forearms. I couldn't get the length of the sleeve quite right anyway, due to the drapeyness of the sweater. Hopefully these little details are helpful to someone! It's a beautiful and easy pattern.
I'm having that problem with the extension pulling on the collar also. The bottom of the collar from the extension down is curving inward like a "c" shape on both sides. I've already ripped it out and started over, but it's doing it again. Any insight? I'm using a bulky yarn with size 9mm hook.
@@carladoolittle even without the extension it happened a bit as well. Adding the border along the bottom may help. But it doesn't really look too bad in the end, even on the first sweater I made that definitely had the C shape you describe.
Hey sweetheart, I absolutely love this tutorial. The shrug design and the color you've chosen complement each other perfectly. I have yet to make any type of crochet garments besides scarves, shawls, hats, gloves, you know nothing actually like a sweater or a cardigan, so this will be my very first crocheted piece that I can actually wear on something besides my neck, head, or hands, LOL. I have always been so intimidated just to try to crochet some type of sweater but I feel like I might succeed in steppibg out into the dark unknown as you have explained things down to the finest details, of what is always a nightmare to me, which is the dreaded stitching pieces your of work together(amongst other things) You truly are an excellent teacher... Thank you for taking the time to do what you do. I so enjoy your Channel. Keep On Keepin On!
Hi Kelly- thank you so much for your sweet words! I'm so glad you find the tutorials helpful. I have faith in you that you can step out of your crochet comfort zone and whip up a beautiful cardigan!! Good luck!
I finished my first cardigan based on this tutorial... it was sooo easy!!!!! I never thought I could do anything more than a basic hat or scarf.. thank you!!!
That's so awesome to hear!! I'm so glad that this helped you break into the crochet garment world. It's pretty awesome once you start making clothes. :)
Hi. I think your work is UH-MAZING, and I had a question how many skeins did you use to accomplish this look and realistically how long (hours) from start to finish
I'm making this sweater now. I'm kinda new to crochet (about 1yr) and i found this sweater to be VERY easy BUT I just wanna say that I officially hate "hdc front loop only" ugh it's a headache maker! I'm almost done though! Woohooo! Thank you for another great tutorial!
Wow! I’m impressed! I’ve been crocheting 45+ years and only began making garments about 2 years ago! Congratulations! You should be proud of yourself!!
Omg I'm so happy I found your channel. I learned how to crochet through RUclips and am more of a visual learner. I've been wanting to make my girls and myself one of these sweaters! Now to go yarn shopping!
This is my first time in your channel and as I was looking to make something for my mom as a Christmas present this year. You have explained everything well and I will do my best to make one. Thanks for the video tutorial.
Thank you for this! I went ahead and purchased the PDF pattern. I figured it was the least I could do since you put all the work into this. I have 2 sets of crochet hooks that both go up to 6mm and then I have a few super big ones. But no 6.5mm. GAH! And I was just at Michaels! Guess I'll start on the sleeves. :)
Thank you for a great pattern , did just buy it, English written patterns are hard to understand sometimes, I am swedish and a beginner, but with the video it all looks easy. 🤗🙏 Bought yarn today to.
This is one of my favorite patterns! Easy to follow and so cozy when finished! I made one as a gift but now I need to make one for me! Highly recommend!
Thank you very much for this! This is a brand new stitch for me and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I started out intending to make this cardigan but accidentally made a gift blanket instead. OK, now going to make me this sweater! So stoked! Thank you! xox
I've already made 1 cardigan for myself right now I'm making one for my Mom and I am going to be making many more as I can already tell I will need a few of these for myself
Hi Jess, I'm in the process of making mine now...thanks so much for an EASY pattern & your video tutorial. Would love to see more like this....you're awesome!
Omg you are so awesome 👏. Your explanations are so clear and easy to follow. I’m half way completed and will certainly try some of your others projects. Thanks so much!
I just finished making this sweater in lion brands heartland Rocky Mountain color. A really nice darker muted green. I love it! Super cute, comfy and warm. I am a little frightened about picking it or catching a thread on something and pulling it.
I purchased the pattern and 💕love the design and enjoyed making it 💕 thank you so much for this great pattern. I’m working on the sleeves now ~ I’m using the chain amount in (...) to make the sleeves but I’m using a thinner yarn 🧶 than yours ~ that is the reason I purchased the pattern so i can work on the “inch given ~ however there are no “inch on the sleeves? Please can you email or provide me with the sleeve measurements?
Very nice sweater pattern to follow. I used a different type of lion brand yarn and I'm almost done with my sweater...I would however not say its beginner friendly especially if you need to learn how to make double crochets and half doubles too
Thank you so much for your easy to understand videos. I'm a first time crochet-er (is that a word?) And this sweater turned out so beautiful. Your instructions on seaming and joining were point on. You even helped us identify which side was the rs or the ws so easily. Thank you!
This is so gorgeous that I went out straight away to buy yarn! I'm on the 8th row already, and I don't know if it's my yarn or my stitching but it seems so dense and I'm about to finish a ball of yarn already. You're looks so light and yummy...mine just seems heavy in comparison...have I done it wrong?
If I’m making this cardigan for someone else, what measurements of her body do I need to know what size should I make the rectangle? I don’t understand what size I should make it. So beautiful!!🥰

I haven't made this yet, but going to give it a try soon when I'm feeling ambitious. Thank you for the free tutorials and lovely video! 🩷
Found that it isn’t a free pattern anymore but 5.99 is a great price for a really terrific pattern!!!! We’ll worth it!!!!
I’m obsessed with the finished product - I’ve make a lot of sweaters and by far this is the coziest one ever! Thank you so much. ❤

I decided to go bolder with the color instead of one of my usual fave colors. I chose Heartland Haleakala...a beautiful chartreuse... it's gorgeous !!!
Heartland yarn is a perfect choice for a lot of garment patterns. I'm more of an advanced crocheter and love quick projects for myself, and do more complicated patterns for others and gifts. So this pattern was great a project to try for myself first. Thanks Jess! ❤

How many yarn did you use please ?
How did ur sleeves turn out? I did what she said and when I seemed it, the seamed part was way to tight. And I made it as loose as I could
Beautiful from South Africa ❤love this pattern
My cardi worked out beautifully. Tutorial so helpful for a beginner.
Yay! That is great to hear! I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful, and way to go on the cardigan. :)

What size did you make and how many skeins of yarn
@@tenderlove9627 size M/L and I used about 6 -7 skeins.
Thank you
I cant seem to download the free patter. When I try it says there's a problem with the site. I would love to try and make the cardigan😔

@@carladoolittle even without the extension it happened a bit as well. Adding the border along the bottom may help. But it doesn't really look too bad in the end, even on the first sweater I made that definitely had the C shape you describe.
Hey sweetheart, I absolutely love this tutorial. The shrug design and the color you've chosen complement each other perfectly. I have yet to make any type of crochet garments besides scarves, shawls, hats, gloves, you know nothing actually like a sweater or a cardigan, so this will be my very first crocheted piece that I can actually wear on something besides my neck, head, or hands, LOL. I have always been so intimidated just to try to crochet some type of sweater but I feel like I might succeed in steppibg out into the dark unknown as you have explained things down to the finest details, of what is always a nightmare to me, which is the dreaded stitching pieces your of work together(amongst other things) You truly are an excellent teacher... Thank you for taking the time to do what you do. I so enjoy your Channel. Keep On Keepin On!
Hi Kelly- thank you so much for your sweet words! I'm so glad you find the tutorials helpful. I have faith in you that you can step out of your crochet comfort zone and whip up a beautiful cardigan!! Good luck!
.Thank you so much for this pattern.Beautiful Cardigan.
Clear to undersrand, pretty design
I made this and LOVE it. I’d like to make it again using DK weight yarn and wondering how that substitution works?
I finished my first cardigan based on this tutorial... it was sooo easy!!!!! I never thought I could do anything more than a basic hat or scarf.. thank you!!!
That's so awesome to hear!! I'm so glad that this helped you break into the crochet garment world. It's pretty awesome once you start making clothes. :)
Hi. I think your work is UH-MAZING, and I had a question how many skeins did you use to accomplish this look and realistically how long (hours) from start to finish
I'm making this sweater now. I'm kinda new to crochet (about 1yr) and i found this sweater to be VERY easy BUT I just wanna say that I officially hate "hdc front loop only" ugh it's a headache maker! I'm almost done though! Woohooo! Thank you for another great tutorial!
Wow! I’m impressed! I’ve been crocheting 45+ years and only began making garments about 2 years ago! Congratulations! You should be proud of yourself!!
Omg I'm so happy I found your channel. I learned how to crochet through RUclips and am more of a visual learner. I've been wanting to make my girls and myself one of these sweaters! Now to go yarn shopping!
I'm so happy to have you as a fellow crocheter! Yarn shopping is the best- have fun!!
Jessica, I just love this pattern. What yarn would you suggest to use now that Lion Brand's Tonal has been discontinued. Thanks!!
Working on this now. Am so excited to finish. What a beautiful design for constant beginners (me!)!
Awesome! I'm so glad you are trying it out!
This is my first time in your channel and as I was looking to make something for my mom as a Christmas present this year. You have explained everything well and I will do my best to make one. Thanks for the video tutorial.
Yay! That's great to hear! This cardigan is super beginner-friendly, and I'm sure your mom will love it. :)
Thank you for this! I went ahead and purchased the PDF pattern. I figured it was the least I could do since you put all the work into this. I have 2 sets of crochet hooks that both go up to 6mm and then I have a few super big ones. But no 6.5mm. GAH! And I was just at Michaels! Guess I'll start on the sleeves. :)
Ah man, I can't tell you how many times I run back and forth to Michael's. Thank you so much for your support!
Thank you for a great pattern , did just buy it, English written patterns are hard to understand sometimes, I am swedish and a beginner, but with the video it all looks easy. 🤗🙏 Bought yarn today to.
This is one of my favorite patterns! Easy to follow and so cozy when finished! I made one as a gift but now I need to make one for me! Highly recommend!
I'm just finishing mine it's going to be a Birthday gift for my daughter ❤️😊

Thank you for the kind words! You def need to make one for yourself. :)
YAY! I made this sweater this week. I love it. You're instructions were so clear and patient. Thank you!
Your explanation of why to do the gauge swatch cleared up a lot for me and helped me a ton, thank you!
That's great, Melissa! I'm happy to hear it was helpful. Happy Crocheting!
So beautiful cardigan in love with this😘😘😘😘..
Though lil bit confused by the stitch u used for collar but I will learn
Thank you very much for this! This is a brand new stitch for me and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I started out intending to make this cardigan but accidentally made a gift blanket instead. OK, now going to make me this sweater! So stoked! Thank you! xox
Haha! Well, at least it didn't go to waste! Happy this was helpful. :)
I've already made 1 cardigan for myself right now I'm making one for my Mom and I am going to be making many more as I can already tell I will need a few of these for myself
Love that stitch!!! Can't wait to start tonight 😁😁
This pattern is beautiful!!!! I am excited to try it out! Thank you for taking the time to show us!
Thank you! Happy crocheting!
Beautiful cardigan .. and you did an amazing job explaining how to make it .. will be my next project for sure
Thank you Michelle! I'm glad you are going to make one too.
Hi Jess, I'm in the process of making mine now...thanks so much for an EASY pattern & your video tutorial. Would love to see more like this....you're awesome!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm so happy the tutorial was helpful. Keep your eyes peeled for more in the future!
Would verigated yarn work well for this pattern?
L no
I made this for a work friend of mine because she gets cold very easily. Thank you very much for the pattern!
Great! This cardigan is perfect for throwing on and still being comfy and warm. :)
I'm going to make this one! Love it! Thank you SO much for making it so clear!
Omg you are so awesome 👏. Your explanations are so clear and easy to follow. I’m half way completed and will certainly try some of your others projects. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for the sweet feedback, Sandra! I'm glad you find the videos helpful. Happy crocheting! :)
I just finished making this sweater in lion brands heartland Rocky Mountain color. A really nice darker muted green. I love it! Super cute, comfy and warm. I am a little frightened about picking it or catching a thread on something and pulling it.
I MADE IT 😍 I LOVE IT 😍 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Thanknyou so much for sharing the free pattern. I love it ❤
I purchased the pattern and 💕love the design and enjoyed making it 💕 thank you so much for this great pattern.
I’m working on the sleeves now ~ I’m using the chain amount in (...) to make the sleeves but I’m using a thinner yarn 🧶 than yours ~ that is the reason I purchased the pattern so i can work on the “inch given ~ however there are no “inch on the sleeves? Please can you email or provide me with the sleeve measurements?
Fantastic pattern and video. One of the best tutorials on RUclips. Thank you so much.
This sweater is a real beaut. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern!!
You are very welcome, Val!
Just love this pattern and only have sleeves left 🎉 thank you so much for this Amazing pattern! You Rock ❤🌹
Awesome!! You're almost done and ready to wrap up in a cozy crochet cacoon! You are very welcome. :)
This was a really excellent tutorial. It was super clear and very helpful-thanks!
I appreciate the feedback! I'm glad to hear it was helpful for you. :)
Very nice sweater pattern to follow. I used a different type of lion brand yarn and I'm almost done with my sweater...I would however not say its beginner friendly especially if you need to learn how to make double crochets and half doubles too
Thankyou so much for this pattern. I’ve made mine and i love it, so cozy and warm. I’m making a second one for my daughter
I'm so happy to hear that! And what a lucky daughter you have!
Thank you as I was looking for this as am fed up of granny square so this makes a lovely piece! 💜💕🌹
You are such an amazing instructor! I feel like I could actually do this! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
Thank you for the kind words. You could definitely do this! It really is a great project for beginners.
Yarn is ordered! I’m pumped to make this cardigan!
@@SandDollar60 Yay!!
I'm just starting this and am super excited for it to be done.
I just finished mine and I love it! Thank you for sharing.
Yay! You're welcome!
Je nádherný. Prosím jak jsou veliké obdélníky? Nenašla jsem rozměry. Děkuji 🌷
Thank you so much for your easy to understand videos. I'm a first time crochet-er (is that a word?) And this sweater turned out so beautiful. Your instructions on seaming and joining were point on. You even helped us identify which side was the rs or the ws so easily. Thank you!
This is so gorgeous that I went out straight away to buy yarn! I'm on the 8th row already, and I don't know if it's my yarn or my stitching but it seems so dense and I'm about to finish a ball of yarn already. You're looks so light and yummy...mine just seems heavy in comparison...have I done it wrong?
can't wait-to start, how many stiches to make for an XL size?
You can tell me I used any thread in the jacket, I am from Egypt, and I liked your work very much
If I’m making this cardigan for someone else, what measurements of her body do I need to know what size should I make the rectangle? I don’t understand what size I should make it. So beautiful!!🥰
Love this cardigan. Can I adapt it using DK yarn with a 5mm crochet hook?
