    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.

      Hi there, would you please help out with the measurements? What is the exact dimensions of the rectangle piece? Thank you very much in advance.

  • @thepointycircle4800

    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

      @marygunter9614 Год назад

      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.

      @sophialea15 Год назад

      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.

    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 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 experienced difficulties with this pattern, specifically that despite using the recommended yarn and hook size, it was impossible to achieve the stated tension/gauge, even when I tried different hook sizes. Eventually I gave up and used the hook size recommended. However the finished garment was a more snug fit that what it appears in the photo. Additionally two other crochet friends also experienced identical issues. This leads me to conclude that the issue is with the pattern itself rather than my individual style of crochet and tension. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this pattern.
    Additionally I also experienced some difficulties with the sleeves.
    They are crocheted widthways. Consequently I had to take care to avoid a wobbly edge and/or holes due to turning chains.
    Neither of which look good on a sleeve edge.
    There's a few techniques available to manage these issues, however I would've expected that the pattern discussed this particularly as it's aimed at beginners who may not have the expertise to be aware of these problems.
    I also found that the yarn didn't wash and wear well. It quickly went bobbly and the whole garment stretched considerably, this is despite carefully following the washing instructions.
    I would like to advise others about these issues, as it can be terribly disappointing to spend time making a garment to find that it is not as expected, and it can also be a waste of money as well as your time 😢

    • @tffy2004
      @tffy2004 5 лет назад

      I had gauge issues as well. The first time I made this I winged it and made it smaller than recommended so I could finish it...I'm a bit impatient, but surprisingly it fits perfectly. I'm working on a second sweater for my GodMother and I had to start over 3 times to get the right width for the original rectangle. It could be the yarn I'm using but I noticed the more rows I crochet it tended to shrink more until it evened out. Eventually I got it right but I love this pattern dearly and I'm thankful she took the time to make the video.

    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.

    • @nadayamcneil4917
      @nadayamcneil4917 Год назад

      @@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!

    As I’m in the UK, I had no idea what Tush meant! So ended up having to unpick half of this this as I crocheted the wrong bit! This was before I found this video. It would be helpful if the pattern just said, back extension.

    I love the style of the sweater. I’m fairly new to crochet (again) so appreciated the ease of the pattern after I finally got the hang of it. I actually had a great deal of trouble in the beginning and tore is out at least 4 times if not more. For some reason I was having difficulty with the stitch count working out with each row. I got the written pattern by buying the kit through Lion Brand. I goofed with the needle size because I misread the pattern and used the smaller needle for the back extension and collar piece. Not wild about the way that fits around my tush now but didn’t want to tear it all out after all the work, lol. It looks alright though. I did have a bit of difficulty with your video and found others’ videos which I found did a better job explaining the stitches but came back to yours to follow the pattern. There were spots in the video that your work was just below the camera and I couldn’t see what you were doing. I just have to attach the sleeves now. Overall I love it! Thank you for such a nice pattern & current style which I am finding hard to find with crochet patterns.

    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?
