i feel both excited and intimidated to try this! literally just started crocheting last week! gonna make me a pair of mittens from your other videos first before i try this one out!
This is such a good tutorial! The instructions are clear and the pacing is perfect. The sweater turned out amazing. This is the first project I've actually completed and I'm so stinkin proud. Thank you so much!
I think you are the greatest instructor I have come across so far. I followed your video step by step, just that I alternated the colors, and the result is beautiful. Thank you so much! :)
Hi, thank you so much for this tutorial, I'm going to make a sweater for my dad, who is a very large size. Just subscribed, I like your channel! Cheers from Italy 😊👋⚘
Hey there ..! I have a question how many yarn balls did u use? Please can u explain tht and also how to join the the new yarn if the yarn ur warking at if over please help..! Please reply I’m making 4 my brothers birthday please please reply
Hello! i really enjoyed your tutorial 💗 you're very clear with the instructions and i cant wait to start making this! However, I'm only able to get size 3/DK 5 ply (3.00-4.00 hook size) yarn weight where I'm from. Will that make a huge difference in outcome of the sweater? if so, i hope sizing up wont be too much of a problem. If you or anyone that comes across this has any pointers for me that'd be really helpful! Thank you so much! 💗
Hi, Thank you! I think your yarn is just a bit thinner than mine, which means you'll need a bit more stitches to reach the same panel width as mine. Adjusting the measurements should be very easy as the structure of the sweater is really basic.
Great tutorial, I have a question though, are the panels supposed to get wider with every row of stitches? This is my first time, and it's getting wider with each rows I've done. Thanks :)
hi! im loving this tutorial so much so far! i just have a really important question, would it be wrong to do 1 increase row and 4 regular rows for the sleeve, instead of 3 regular rows? i feel like the increasing every 3 rows makes it a little bit to wide for the sleeves and im not so sure if adding 1 more regular row would affect that sm. thank u!!!
Hi , if I wanted to do a toddler sweater or a womans med then would I just take a baggy shirt and measure width? Would I still do the 11 chain ribbing at the bottom for woman ? Maybe half that for child ?
Hi! Yes that's what I would do, using my clothes as reference. Maybe add a couple extra inches as the stitches might tighten up. 10 or 11 chains is the ribbing width/thickness. It's totally up to you to add or subtract a few chains to make it thicker or thinner.
hi :) may i ask how many skeins/grams of yarn this project requires? i wanna make it as a birthday gift for my boyfriend! its so cute i wanna make one for myself too hahaha
hiii!! im making this for myself (im trans lol) and i was wondering if i could use a light worsted/DK weight yarn with a 4.5 mm hook? would that change the size drastically at all? i still want it to be nice and oversized. tysm for your tutorial!!!
Please how many yards of yarn did use to to make the sweater? I want to make one but I don't know how many yards will be enough. I'd really appreciate a quick reply 🙏🙏. Thank you
What size is the person you did this for? I noticed that at 50/56 rows I am still where the sleeves connect. I need size L for my sweater I guess? How many rows may I add? For each additional row in the back there's 1 additional in the front? Thanks!
Hi! I have two questions if you are able to answer it. I don’t know anything about crocheting, I’ve had one small experience and I enjoyed it so I wanna make my boyfriend a sweater. My first question is how could I size this down to a large? My second question is a bit more simple but is there any way I can make the neckband a bit short and lower? Like a bit less turtle neck like if that makes sense. I was just curious if these things could be changed :)
Hi! Thanks for asking! I usually crochet made-to-measure stuff so you'd first need to look up the measurements for a Large, like the usual width and height of a sweater. To size it down: First, find out how many stitches equals 1 panel/sweater width. Start with the ribbing in the same way I did but adjust its row count. You'll probably be working less rows since you want a smaller size. You ribbing row count should be [your panel stitch number /2]. After the ribbing, you can work normally until the neckline shaping. This is for the width of the sweater. If you want the sweater shorter as well, you just need to work less rows in total for both panels. To make the neckline lower: There are slightly different ways that you can do this, but the simplest one is probably just work more decrease rows for the neckline shaping following the pattern. 2 - 4 more rows should be ok. Hope this helps!
You can change color between rows for this one, to make it two colored. I'm working on a patchwork sweater, should be out in 2 weeks. Hopefully it won't be too late!
Hey! I have a question: I started with 34 rows for the bottom ribbing, I'm making this for my grandpa and he's quite slim, and I think my yarn is a tiny bit thicker than yours, so that should end up as 68 stitches on the body, right? Well, every single time I reach the end of a row and count my stitches, I have 69, and I've tried loads of ways to do it right but I still get 69 😢 I'm thinking I may have counted the lower "v" from the two joined single crochets as a stitch, and that's why I got an odd number of stitches. Has this happened to anyone else?
Hi! Yes, it should be 68 stitches, 2 stitches for each row. Not sure why you have an extra stitch but honestly, it should be okay. Just make sure you leave an odd numbered stitch as well when shaping the neckline. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰 I'm so glad you like this!
Just wondering: what can i do if it gets a little too wide?
@@andreashoppe1969Unfortunately, you’ll have to restart, because the rows are worked horizontally.

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
You are welcome! 😊
tysm for the tut gonna make this but using 3.5mm hook
You’re very welcome! ☺️
We don’t have 8 ply yarn in 🇺🇸. What would be the equivalent? It came out nice I love it 🥰
Oh I didn't know that! 8 ply is like DK/Light worsted or weight 3 🥰
@@CherilynQ weight 3 is to use for baby items. It must be #4
@@anandazen30 thanks for specifying that! I was like I never heard of 8ply! I thought I was missing something.
How many stitches for the sweater should I do for a 2XL or 3XL?
I was wondering this as well.
very helpful! Thank you!
Great tutorial, I have a question though, are the panels supposed to get wider with every row of stitches? This is my first time, and it's getting wider with each rows I've done. Thanks :)
Thanks! The panel is not supposed to get wider though. You must be increasing by accident, possibly on the beginning/end of the rows.

Hi! You can absolutely do that! There's no right or wrong to this, totally depends on how you like it.

hi :) may i ask how many skeins/grams of yarn this project requires? i wanna make it as a birthday gift for my boyfriend! its so cute i wanna make one for myself too hahaha
Hi, of course! I used 675 g yarn for this but you'll have a different measurement and require more or less than that. Prepare more just in case 🥰

Hi! Thanks for asking! I think it’s the same weight as mine and 4.5 mm hook works for this weight. So your size would be very similar to mine ☺️
@@CherilynQ awesome!! happy crocheting 😊😊😊😊
Can you please tell how much yarn you used in total i.e., weight of the yarn 😊
Good morning your new subscriber, please can you make a triangle neck weather. Complete video please 🥺
Hi! Thanks for the support! 💕 Did you mean a v-neck sweater or a neck warmer?
Hello :) i need to make a 2xl sweater and am lost. If i looked up the measure for a 2xl online, how would i apply it to the pattern ?
Hi! I believe I covered the measurements, just not all at once, but throughout the entire video.
@@CherilynQ perfect. Thank you so much!
No worries ☺️
Please how many yards of yarn did use to to make the sweater? I want to make one but I don't know how many yards will be enough. I'd really appreciate a quick reply 🙏🙏. Thank you
I used 675 g yarn for this but you'll have a different measurement and require more or less than that. Prepare more just in case 🥰
I live in Australia and can buy this yarn. Can you please tell me how many balls you've used to make this size in the video, thank you 🙂
I think I used 8 balls for this size but I did buy a whole bag of 10 balls just in case 🤭
Hi Cherilyn how are you doing today I am doing fine today your sweater are very beautiful color stay safe 💙🌹💙
Thank you! You too!
What size is the person you did this for? I noticed that at 50/56 rows I am still where the sleeves connect. I need size L for my sweater I guess? How many rows may I add? For each additional row in the back there's 1 additional in the front?
Thanks!
An XL. For a L, maybe you can take away a couple of inches from the sleeves width. And yes, the back should have the same rows as the front.

@@CherilynQ thank you!! :)
Hi, could you tell me this project required how many yarn? Thanks
I don't have it with me but I think for this size, at least 1000 grams. That's 10 skeins of 100 g for me.
Please I want to order one from you how can I
Hi wanted to ask how could I change color of the yarn for this pattern? It's a cool design but I wanted to add more color to it
Hi! It's very similar to changing color in double crochets. Work the st to last 2 loops on hook, then use the other color to pull through the 2 loops.
@@CherilynQyou're so helpful!
Hey I wanted to find out if the back panel and the front panel are the same ?
Hi! They are not the same, the front panel needs a low neckline.
@@CherilynQ thank you
But how low is the front panel please I couldn't quite understand from the video
@@ariellecoker4856 you do the exact same thing as the back panel for the front one, but stop at 50th row to follow the tutorial
@@m8kttns thank you .
Thanks such...🎉❤
Welcome!! ☺️
Did anyone figure out how many skeins of yarn are needed?
She said 675g. I scrolled down to find it lol
Can u plz...do it with two colour parallel plz..i need to crochet for my bf birthday plz...plz..plz..
Or a square granny sweater plz...plz...
You can change color between rows for this one, to make it two colored. I'm working on a patchwork sweater, should be out in 2 weeks. Hopefully it won't be too late!
Did you fish it in time?
Do you know what size this would roughly be in men? American here
It's a L or XL. My bf usually wears L and this fits him comfortably.
What is the yarn in the UK please?
8 ply. I think it's DK in the UK.
