Soak your sweater in baby fabric softener to make is softer. Let it soak for a day than wash it.
ty
Thanks ♥️
Hair conditioner works wonders too😘
Life hack!!! 🧡
@@MarionJones98 should I water out the conditioner and let it soak in it? Sorry I'm really new to this stuff haha
‘It’s my first sweater’, ‘I made lots of mistakes’. Me: 👁👁

OMG Natalie!!!!!!!! I love uuuu
Omg yasss luv u

Hiiiii
Hi natalie love u
Well done. I have been crocheting for over 30 yrs and never had the courage to make myself a cardi or sweater. I have knitted myself 1 sweater but no crochet. I’ve knitted lots of garments for my grandkids but no crochet ones so be really proud of yourself.
This sweater is very modern and stylish, perfect timing for Christmas gifts 😉 great job !!! Be careful though, crochet is very addicting 😂
CE Nelson I should have read this comment before I started now I’m addicted 😅😅
Darth Vader I want a hobby like this and just be creative with it, I just don’t have any stuff or skill or patience for this yet
Simsister Aww I hope you get to try it out there is some small quick stuff you could start off with? Maybe a kit? it’s super relaxing Even half and hour at night
@@simsister2774 Try it! Its a pretty cheap hobby to try, a ball of yarn and a crochet hook shouldn't cost you more than $10-$15! Good luck :)
@@simsister2774 And there is me... could be able to do this but mom says its a waste of a time -_-
even though you didn’t mean for this to be a tutorial this was really simple to understand compared to some of the other tutorials I’ve seen and I am gonna try making this so thank you and yours turned out so cute! please make more crochet videos :)
thank you this is so sweet! i'll definitely make more
❤️
It’s simple and stylish,Than you ❤️
I am a beginner,I can like, just make chains, and granny squares,I loved this sweater do you think I can follow this video and make this?😭
@@shivani4824 there’s only one way to find out, which is trying! Good luck 🍀
when you said that you shouldnt be making big projects because its gonna take over ur life since u just want it to be done so u crochet non stop,,,, yeah i related to that so hard i actually had a tear running down my cheek hhh
Yna Mallari I’ve been only allowing myself to crochet during zoom classes 😂
@@rebekahash3374 i wish i could do the same sdjkasjdjsaldjlas
For anyone following along with this, can I just recommend that you leave your yarn tails longer when you create a slip knot and just crochet them into the work as you go. Leaving them as short as she does means it’s likely to unravel with wear or washing ☺️
Maddie Milligan I just learned a Russian Join which leaves basically no yarn tails at all- if you’re past the initial chain of course. Been crocheting for probably like 15 years maybe and I’m sad I didn’t learn it sooner. Just made an infinity scarf with this joining method for a family member and it seems pretty sturdy so far.
@@ges6431 thanks to your comment I just learned something new and valuable. Thank you!
for anyone who’s worried about unraveling, a tip i learned is to weave in the ends and then sew it to secure it and make sure it doesn’t unravel! :)
"This isn't a tutorial." Proceeds to tutor
My dumbass didn’t hear this word soooo I try with it 😭 ( kind of difficult
I can sort of see her crochet background in her technique- she leaves a short tail that sticks inwards, she uses shaping techniques in the round, she crochets using tight tension- these are all things that are required for amigurumi/stuffies to keep their shape. That's really cool! She's bringing her strengths into a new realm of the crochet world
Thank you everyone for all the lovely comments!! It really means so much ❤️ I'm sorry I haven't been able to answer all the comments :( but here are some answers to questions:
1. I used (2) 2.5oz skeins of yarn for the pink, blue, green, and yellow and (3) 2.5oz skeins for the purple! (I had a little leftover of all)
2. It took me a full week to finish probably about 3 hours a day!
3. If the link isn't working it's the Lily® Sugar 'n Cream® Cotton Yarn in the colors (Rose Pink, Soft Violet, Country Yellow Light Blue, Meadow) but keep in mind this yarn was pretty stiff!
4. I stitched on the clouds to the sweater with some embroidery thread and my crochet needle.
5. I used a 4mm hook
Also, thank you for all the suggestions!! I loved all the tips and will definitely use them next time! Love you all x
So in total how many 2.5oz skeins did you use? Thanks.
Hello i love this sweater. I would like to do it for my friend. She is a little S or a big XS. what is your size ?
Can you make a tutorial on how to put on the clouds? I’m thinking about making something similar but with little sunflowers
Io non parlo inglese 🤦♂️🤦♂️😭
@@kavana.l 9, it’s simple math
I'm really glad you made this! It's so helpful to watch someone wing it and make something in a way that logically makes sense to them. I found this really easy to understand and follow. Makes me want to just go for it more often!
Really cute outcome!
this is so nice kayland thank you so much 💖
You're stitches are so neat, I'm genuinely awestruck.
My grades are going 📉 trying to make this
Lemon ArtTutorials me knitting while sleep deprived in class 👁👄👁
Did u make it???
Literally
Good luck
Why am I watching this... I don’t know how to crochet, knit, or anything like that. But it’s a fabulous sweater! Keep up the good work :)
Ikr same but it's so nice to watch tho I'm glad youtube recommend this to me cause I wouldn't find this on my own 😅😂❤️💕
Please keep doing tutorials like this ! I love how you can use any yarn and just fit your own measurements, most tutorials don’t do that and it’s so helpful for beginners to not have to count!
thank you this means so much! ❤️
I absolutely had to sign in to say this was the video I used to make my new sweater, I had an idea of what I wanted but no other video seemed to make sense to me. I accidentally increased it, so a friend told me it reminded them of a jellyfish. Fine with me I love it, I will be using this technique for a slightly thinner sweater later, lol. My cuffs are made with star stitch, the body and sleeves are double crochet. Thanks so much for this!
i've made a sweater before, but it was done in four panels where it's the front, back and two open sleeves. i've been thinking about making it in a round like you did and i could never figure it out. but thank you for this, because it helped me visualize it!
Orbit!
A way to make round pieces easier is to start with a foundation stitch first instead of a foundation chain. It’s sturdier and easier to not get twisted. A sweater I’m making at the moment had a twisted faux rib at the cuffs which uses double crochet, so I started the whole thing with foundation double crochet and the joined it in the round with a slip stitch.
omgg orbit hi
This is exactly the kind of modern crochet I've been looking for. This is so cute and turned out so nicely! Good work! I can't wait to try this.
AGHHH YOU DID AWESOMMEE!!! I really wanted to make a sweater like this thank youu for making this video!!
thank you soo much ❤️ i’m glad you found it helpful
Ive legit been looking for a pattern for so long that i was already halfway through making my own
how are you Rabeya?!! but do you know what size you made this sweater? I am looking to start my first sweater, and found your tutorial helpful!! Thank you soo much!
This is giving me major Care Bears vibes
You could totally put little bear appliqués on this and it would be adorable !
Love it even more after this comment 💕💕
OMG YESS
Am a crochet amateur and this is so good. Even I am scared to try a sweater but I really want to. Will try this
Yessss! Tackle it! Good luck! 💕💕😊
I love this experiment/tutorial! I saw this type of cloudy sweater on Instagram boutiques a lot and admired them. I think we all need a warm, chunky sweaters with rainbows sunshine and cute clouds to remind us of prettier days during the fall and winter! If there’s anything I put my clumsy ass crocheting skills through hours of work for its this
i am obsessed with the colors in this sweater omg
The reason the sleeves ended up so long is bc you typically make the chest piece narrower at the sleeve than the rest of it so the sleeves start at the shoulder. This turned out very nice. I’ve only crocheted myself shorts but never any tops. It’s sweater season so maybe I’ll try.
I don't understand do you mean you crochet the shoulder part of the sleeve first not the cuff?
@@98_Claire I think when they say “so the sleeves start at the shoulder” they don’t mean to start at the shoulder when you crochet. I think they mean that the attachment seam between the sleeve and the body panel will actually sit (start) on your shoulder instead of hanging below your shoulder. Hope that helps!
Brooooo ur so clever I can’t believe u deadass just crocheted a sweater for the first time literally just by envisioning it in ur head omg 😂
Personally I find freestyle crochet way easier than following a pattern.
Patterns are dense and confusing. It's so hard to keep track of my place in a pattern.
Visualizing shapes and paying attention to the form of what I'm creating is much easier for me. It's so much more direct and physical. Also everything is exactly the right size because I use my body as a reference while creating it!
I love this sweater! I am always happy when people get into crocheting. I only made one sweater so far in the several years that I have been crocheting. This many me want to make more. I love the colors you chose. I really commend you for making this without a pattern. It turned out amazingly! Drop shoulder sweaters are really easy as they really don't include shaping apart from the modified drop shoulder sweaters. I feel like this may be a place where you can start if you want to get into sweater making and then learn different types of shaping after getting the basic construction down. That's the best advice I can give as someone who has very little experience making sweaters.
I have to say, RUclips recommended this video to me and they were not wrong.
You’re so knowledgeable about crochet! I was about to attempt to make a crochet square sweater only knowing single crochet, slip-stitch, and sewing stitches! But this is impressive for a first sweater
I’m in love with this tutorial, i’ve been searching for a super easy tutorial crocheting a sweater, and i already know the basics so i dont really need a long explanation for the techniques. This is greatt.. thank youuu so much for the tutorial and hope you have a nice day 😊
I know u said this isn't a tutorial but this was literally one of the clearest tutorials i've seen for this type of sweater.
As a fellow amigurumi nerd watching this who's always wanted to make a sweater, this was super inspirational! Once I set up an official business and earn enough money to buy the yarn to make a sweater, I will definitely do so! Super hyped :D
For the stiffness, I think your tension is also really tight so there’s not a lot of give in your top. The fabric softener will help the feel with your yarn but might not give a lot of stretch. I’m a beginner too but I’ve watched hours on RUclips lol .... thanks corona 😂😂😂
😂😂❤️
You approached this project I approach any of my larger, I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing, projects and I respect that. I might have to crochet myself a sweater now. You made this look really easy. The color choices are also amazing!
Crocheting your seams instead of mattress stitch is a game-changer! Makes really nice seams on the inside and it’s so much easier and more fun!!
I just want to say a big thank you for recommending this yarn, because it’s so great for price and the quality is great - I can even order it from the uk without waiting so long for shipping.
The fact that I knew it was Lirika Mtoshi inspired without seeing the inspo picture lmao
That's incredible.
Currently I have been crocheting a sweater and l used 4 colors of yarn - dark and light pink and dark and light purple.
It already looks nice)
Thank you for this lesson, everything is clearly and accessibly explained)))))
This is sooo cute. I think I need to make myself a pastel rainbow sweater now...
are u finished yet? how long did it take?
@@sofeamza8267 I didnt haha. Maybe one day!
Watching other people crocheting is so weird. I don’t think there’s any wrong way of hold the needle or anything but it’s so odd cause I hold my like a pencils lol. But this sweater is soo cool
Rosaisabel vitela i have your same reaction when I see the pencil hold. There's also different ways to do a yarn over. Some people look like they're knitting when they do their yarn over. Gotta love human variation.
I hold it like a pencil/spoon too! I feel like it has more grip :)
I hold it that way too haha
I hold my pencil like I hold chopsticks and it gave me nerve issues 😒
I personally feel weird seeing hwo others hold their hooks a little different from mine. Like, I dont think that they are doing it wrong but I feel weird abt it.
This turned out so cute! Love the simplicity of the tutorial, although I'd recommend weaving in the yarn ends or working the yarn ends into your crochet so that you don't have all these loose ends but minor issues. It's super cute! Makes it seem super doable
For your first time crocheting, this is phenomenal. I’m impressed it fits as well as it does!
Thinking of knitting a jumper/sweater, and seeing your creative process as you crocheted the arms and bodice etc. has both inspired me and given me some foundation on which to start from. Thanks!
I love the way it turned out! I also made my first clothing piece during quarantine and now I've made 3 and have plans for 2 more! After those are done I would love to make something like this. If you start decreasing towards the middle of the collar from both sides for a few rows the collar becomes more rounded and less boxy.
ohh that makes sense I'm gonna try that next time thank you! (:
It turned out so beautifully. It looks great on you. The colours work so well together.
I just started knitting seriously this year, and I’m about to finish my first sweater! Maybe I’ll be crocheting my next one 🌟
I'm in love with those colours and the little clouds! Inspired to try making one myself.
I am so impressed wow!! this was really mesmerizing to watch, well done!! love the colours you chose, such a cute sweater !!
Yerp. That was me, too. I knew basic stitches, nothing too fancy, and I only ever made scarves because that’s the easiest. Now I’m making bucket hats for my cats and I’m currently trying to make that cardigan Harry styles wore. If it doesn’t go well, no one will hear about it again. After I try that, I wanna try to make this!
this is your first time?! it's amazing!!!
Watching this video and seeing the adorable sweater you made makes me want to knit or crochet myself a sweater- which is something I have fervently told myself, fully convinced, that I would never do because I don't have the patience for such a long project but like... you may have been the beginning of a growing desire that will most likely end up in me making my own sweater and being very proud so if that's the case, thank you for the little push of inspiration xD
HA actually it's been about 1 hour and I have now started crocheting my own sweater. Thank you and wish me luck that it comes out as adorable as this one cause I'm partially winging it too hahA OTL
I love it. I'm going to be making one for my daughter. She loved the colors. I recommend Hobby Lobby's, i love this cotton. It is on the softer side.😉
You did an amazing job for your first tutorial.🥰
Agreed also hope ur daughter loves the sweater 💕😊
if you want to tackle making another sweater, try a raglan sweater! You start at the neck and expand down, and are able to work it all attached as one piece instead of stitching as much stuff together. You did really well!
I’m watching this as I hand knit a blanket on my floor😂
Lol I praise you for being able to multitask like that, I can't even listen to music when making basic amugurimi. Did it come out nice, also is hand knitting hard because I am so scared to try.
Thank you for your awesome video. Made the sweater for my daughter. She loved it. Minus the clouds, it’s a replica in acrylic not cotton yarn.
Wish I could load a picture of her wearing it. She’s got a load of compliments on it.
Beautiful sweater! This coming from a crochet of 40+ yrs!
Its honestly refreshing to see this as a my first and the tips and things at the end...No one really talks about that or shows/talks about the journey so thank you for sharing this!
Oh this is so professional looking 😍😩😍 I dream of making my own sweaters like this in my own colour scheme 😍😭
Thank you so much "guapa". Greetings from Mexico. I have done this sweater for my child. She is 5...but I did the front side and then the back side....but I was lost. Then I found your video. And finally I finished my project because of your video. God bless you....thank you... thank you!...💟💖💖💗💝
Thank you for sharing.. u just Motivated me to do this for myself thank you very much I'm kind of a beginner myself but never finished a project other than a scarf so thank you
that makes me so happy to hear! ☺️
it is sooo pretty, I’m gonna do it soon like I wanted to find a good tutorial to make a sweater and after watching this one I realize it’s just perfectly what I was looking for, it’s super clear, thank you! :)
the sweater is cute, and yeah...crocheting is all about having fun🎉❤️
I just knit my first sweater but I’ve been wanting to learn to crochet too! I love how yours turned out!
I'm just starting the video and I must say, that sleeve is so sexy. My crochet senses are tingling
Most useful tips ever!!! (and i have watched LOADS of tutorials!!) Thanks for pointing out what to watch out for for my first sweater! 👍👍💐🙌
Your sweater is AH-MAZING!!! Great job!!! 🤗
thank youu 💖
it looks unbelievably good!
Me: Skipping to the part where she tries it on
Ad of Mac Donalds comes on
Me: Cute sweater 👁👄👁
By the way cute sweater its rainboww-
I want a pastel crocheted sweater now
Also this is really creative and doesnt waste time at all
If I ever had been able to crochet or have a kit for it I would litterly spend the rest of my life learning to crochet 👁👄👁
My first time on your channel and let me say, your sweater is GORGEOUS!!
She should make Harry Styles cardigan.
Why? So many people are making that ugly sweater and i don't get why.
R C people make “that ugly sweater” because they like it
@@entirelynotfrank9393 😂😂😂I love u omgg 😅 ur comment made me laugh haha I so agree and glad someone said something
@@rc4443 ugly? 💔💔 i love that sweater
i made mine strawberry themed, took me 1 month of work but turned out the cutest thing, i love it, thanks for the video it helped me a lot!
The most beautiful thing that my eyes have seen. But I dont understand how made
thank you so much for this adorable tutorial, i've just finished mine and LOVE how it turned out!!!💕
This was very helpful and cute! Thank you 😘
Edit: I used the same yarn for my first top. It is pretty stiff. I'm thinking about trying with some red heart acrylic.
Wow, you did a great job, especially this being your first time making a jumper with no pattern. Props to you, it looks awesome.
thank youu 💖
i’m a sucker for giant clothing so this makes me want to make a grossly oversized sweater is this normal?
so i bought the yarn i bought pastels yellow mint pink and purple 150 meters/200 grams and i’m going at it they are huge
how's it going? and yes it is very normal lol

i knitted the sleeves and ran out of yarn, gonna buy some more later, will post pics

uh oh it’s the size of my torso
I really like the sleeves. The reason you haven't seen anyone go back and forth is cause crochet is one sided and you can't replicate it going backwards, unlike knitting where you can purl so the knit side is always showing. You can cut your yarn, start at the right again and keep going that way in order for all your stitches to look the same, it just means a lot of ends to weave in.
can you remember the names of the shades of yarn? I really love the pastel vibe, but from the website I'm not really sure which blue, which yellow etc. is the one you used!
I love this video so much. I like how it's not super mathematical and it's more eyeballing stuff. Also, the pastel rainbow colours with the clouds look so cute!! Keen for more crochet jumper/similar videos:):)))
What size hook did you use? I LOVED IT!! Honestly, plssssssss, do more vids like this because, i understood everything and i really liked it.
Love it! It turned out super cute, and this was so cathartic to watch.
I absolutely love this!! Wish I could crochet! Would buy ❤❤
you definitely can!! it’s super easy to pick up
Adding a neckline in is really easy dont make the front like the back stop where you want to add the neck line then count to how wide you want it in the center then add the shoulder part making sure the front has the ssme amount of rows as the back once you sew it all together go in with the garter blanket stitch all around and the neck will lay flat
I love this sweater. It reminds me of Mabel from Gravity Falls.
What a beautiful jumper. You did a fabulous job. Well done 👍🏼
Just so u know next I make a colorful sweater dont use cotton because cotton fades very quickly and if you use in acrylic yarn the colors won't fade at all so next time you make a colorful sweater I would suggest you use acrylic yarn instead of cotton just a little helpful tip
acrylic yarn doesn't stay as soft and it's bad for the environment though :((
this is honestly so helpful, im gonna use this to make a baggy oversized sweater
Hey!! I’m planning on making this sweater because I found that it’s the easiest pattern (and it’s exactly what I’m looking for!). However, I want to use a yarn that’s a little more drapey but also more stretchy than the yarn used in this video. Does anyone have any recommendations for a yarn or fiber combination that would be good for what I want to make (yarn weight 3 and 4 both work)? I also want it to be affordable because it’s my first crochet sweater, and I don’t want to mess it up after spending a lot of money on it. Thank you!
i use the brand Big Twist because its really good quality for its price and i think she used 5oz of each color all together. To make sweaters i usually use a 5mm hook and weight 4 medium yarn. If you use a stiffer yarn you can soak it in a 1 part vinegar 3 part water mixture to soften it (more vinegar will make it softer) if you switch between weight 3 and 4 just use a bigger hook for 3 or more stitches
Girl you're amazing !! Love your videos ! :) U deserve so many more subscribers and views!!

I was so inspired I made my own sweater for the first time minus the clouds, they were more difficult to do or they looked like awful shaped hearts! You did awesome for this not to be a tutorial!
Hey.. I love the sweater. How did you attach the clouds to the sweater?
I used the crochet needle and some embroidery thread to just sew them on!
Literally you DID SUCH AN AMZING JOB!!! Its literally so gorgeous and I literally just found your channel through this video and the sweater is so cute, I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. You have inspired to make my own sweater like but I have never crochet before so I don't know how to make it but this is awesome.
How much yarn did you use? I don’t know how many rolls to buy
in the comments she said she used 2 of each and then for the purple 3 rolls!
How many grams do you use
Yeah absolutely doing this. I’m on the sleeves and it does work up pretty fast. Gotta stop getting distracted though lol
I just did the first part of the sleeve and it took 2 and a half hours 😩😩
Update it’s been four days and I’ve got a good 40% of both arms done and 20% body I’m getting there
Nice!
I’ve basically finished the body and arm and I hate it so guess I’m done with crochet
Would like an tutorial on the jumper you did. Loving the colours you used. Am feeling inspiring
Por favor, poner subtitulos en español,gracias,hermosos tus diseños
Por fin un comentario en español 😭
I love the colours though i prefer open i will check my stash for the colors.Am knitting a pullover also in cotton its heavy but feels good prefer cotton to acrylic yarn you can use a bigger hook so that your work is more elastic but for the ribbing crochet it as a whole not separately by using smaller hook.
