    Hello everyone! I just made another vid talking about what I learnt & things I did differently while making this vest again. I recommend watching it before you start knitting your vest because you may find some of the information helpful (: xx ruclips.net/video/_Rv89mlcxoY/видео.html

    I've been crocheting for almost 4 years and I've always been jealous of how much less yarn is used in knitting so I went to Daiso and bought a circular knitting needles and just started 4 days ago. I got the hang of the tension and this video is wonderfully slow enough for me to understand what is going on and following along as a beginner. Thank you so much for helping a lot of us into doing something fun

    I actually tried making this at the beginning of the year, but silly me just followed everything to the t, never minding that we have completely different build, so it turned out too small for me 😅 got a bit discouraged, but now i wanted to try making one again. Actually watched other tutorials but came back to this because you just explain everything so well ☺ anyway gotta go knit my 2nd vest 🙆‍♀️

      Update: I'm currently knitting the stockinette part of the front piece. I've already knit like 20 something rows of that part, don't worry I marked the exact row in my pattern. Nobody told me that knitting takes really long! The videos always make it seem like you could finish a vest in a few days. Maybe some can do that, but this will probably take me another month. Anyway, the rows that I already have look exactly how I wanted my vest to be.

    I made a gauge swatch and it turned out I didn't do it right, so I made another one, lol. I made somewhat amount of progress on a front panel, but found out near the arm-hole part that it would be too small because I didn't take into account when measuring that there was going to be decreases for the armholes lol. So now, I think I will cast on the same amount of stitches you did, but maybe a bit more because of taking account of my gauge being a bit different but almost the same as yours.

    Hi Mena, I really love the video. I'm fairly new to knitting, but with all the guidance I think I will be able to make this vest. Could I ask, regarding the pattern...both lots of instructions say "front of vest"...is the second lot of instructions actually for the back of the vest?? Many thanks Sue xx

    I like how this is knitted flat than in the round. I know everyone and their mother and grandmother prefer knitting in the round, but I can't afford to buy multiple lengths of the same needle size and their DPNs (or even an interchangeable set). I live in a country where ordering needles form the US or even Australia can be challenging. Magic Loop technique? We don't know her. I use braided wire circular knitting needles. That wire ain't magically bending + I can't be bothered enough to order an eighty-centimetre version online at the moment. If rather see seams that to spend more money on materials. 😅

    hi! this looks amazing I'm v excited to start it. I was just wondering if you could please tell me roughly how much each of the sections should measure?( eg ribbing, the section before the decrease etc) because I'm using a different yarn weight. :)

    • @mena_makes
      @mena_makes  3 года назад +4

      Hello! Thank you (: Do you mean the length of each section(not width right)? The ribbing is 9cm, the section before the decreasing is 15cm, the bit between when the decreasing starts and when the strap starts is 8cm and the strap is 19cm. The whole vest is roughly 45cm wide & 51cm long. Hope this helps!

    I love your channel and your creativity. The video tutorial is very informative, which cannot be said about other videos on this topic. I speak Russian and I am sure that you have such an audience too. Could you make Russian subtitles please. I understand English, but still some points are not clear.
    P.s. I was so inspired by your video that I'm going to knit from it.❤

    So I'm knitting this with a bit thicker yarn, and with 5mm needles. I'm a small and wanted a bit tighter fit (about 40cm width), so I cast on 76 stitches as my gauge was 19sts=10cm. When it comes to shaping the armholes of my piece, should I still bind off and decrease the exact same way you do? I absolutely love your tutorials btw!!

    • @mena_makes
      @mena_makes  3 года назад +2

      hey! hmmm I think you won't have to decrease as much for the armholes (maybe 1 or 2 decreases fewer than me on each side). If I were you I would just decide as you go based on how it looks (don't know if this is good advice lol but it's actually how I came up with this pattern in the first place, I just stopped decreasing when it looked right) Just make sure you write down what you do so you know how many total rows you end up with and can match the back piece. Good luck! I hope this was helpful (:
