Thank you so much for this video! I had no clue what the pattern wanted and I was about to throw my knitting into the corner but now I can actually finish it! :D

Hello from Alaska, I am a beginning knitter, about 7 years I have been making, hats, gloves, socks. Your sweat shirt sweater is my first sweater and I am loving it so far, thank you for this easy to follow pattern and this tutorial on joining sleeves. So simple.
Thank you so much. Yours was the only video I could find that had a pattern the same as the one I'd followed with the sleeves knitted in the round. Great tutorial, much appreciated!
Two desponent years on the needles. I tried with my friend to unravell the mysteries of a very badly organised pattern. We were actually cry/laughing with hysterics. Finally found your video, and were able to bypass the pattern's nonsense, and the knitting is not in the corner, but on it's way to being finished. Thank you so much.
I'm new to knitting sweaters in the round and was not able to visualise how to join the sleeves. Thanks to your excellent video it has all been made clear. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for the very clear instructions for attaching sleeves to the body of a sweater and thank you for the excellent camera placement and color choices, made everything easy to see. I am starting my first sweater and sleeve instruction was confusing. Thank you again
Thank you so much for this explanation! I was really stumped because I just couldn’t picture how this would work out! Haha! I am used to picking up stitches and knitting a sleeve top down. This video was so helpful and easy to understand. Seriously, thank you for taking the time to make it!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I did not understand the Shawl collar Cardigan knit pattern by Bernal and Yarnspirations when I got to the yoke instructions. It did not explain how to attach the sleeves and you helped immensely!
Oh this video is so good! I was knitting a baby jumper for the first time and was trying to figure out on how to join the sleeves to the body for like a month! of all the videos I have seen on RUclips this is by far the best. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making this. I've been pondering making a Roslyn(Veronik Avery) and was so confused about how to join the sleeves, and this video shows exactly what I have to do.
Thank you, it has been a while since my last jumper and this was a brilliant refresher. Mesmerised be your throwing finger; what lovely hands you have.
A bell rang in my head, oh I understand now! Thank you so very much! I have been battling on whether to tackle this method of pattern for several years. I started following your channel. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for this video! I was tearing my hair out over how to do this, convinced I'd gotten something wrong, because the pattern instructions didn't make sense to me. Thanks a million for the clear explanation!
This is a great video. Thank you! I'm knitting a simple sweater in the round, bottom up - but I don't have a pattern. Can you explain how to hold stitches under the arm pit? And how many?
I just typed this into you tube as a last ditch effort, thanks so much!! Glad to know I can actually finish my project ♥️ what a relief! What do we do with the under arm stitches tho?
You're very welcome, we're so glad to hear that this video helped you finish your project! After you complete the sweater, you will graft the underarm stitches together using the Kitchener stitch.
Thank you so much! Life saver, this was my first time using circular needles. Great tutorial, much appreciated! Do you have any video showing how to finishing the under arm holes? Thank you!
HI Gabriela! We certainly do - we like using the Kitchener Stitch method to close off the spaces between the arms and body. You can view that tutorial here - www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/ Thanks for writing!
Thank you so much for getting beck to me, I follow the instructions to joining sleeves, but now I’m having trouble how to finish my sweater, which is the same shape as the one you are showing in this tutorial, if I keep knitting the shoulder will shape up until I get to the neck line? Thank you 🙏
@@MsPatgab Hi Gabriela! Are you working from a specific pattern? Without seeing that it's hard to help, but if the pattern you are working from indicates the shaping needed for the yoke of the sweater, you should have smooth sailing after joining the sleeves! Let us know and good luck!
@@PurlSoho thank you again for getting back to me! I created my own pattern, I 🤔 think I figured it out, and according to my measurements I’ll have to decrease to get the right amount of stitches to finish the opening of the neck , I’ll certainly let you know and I can send a picture after I finish! Thank you 🙏 I love the knitting 🧶 community 🥰
Hi Emily - if you're working from a pattern, it may indicate what to do with those stitches. But conventionally, any underarm stitches will be grafted together. We particular like to use Kitchener Stitch as it appears seamless. Here's out tutorial for Kitchener: www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/ Thanks for writing!
This is really helpful! So if I knit a smaller size sleeve than the size of the body, is my only concern making sure I just have the proper number of stitches for the color-work pattern repeats?
Hi Cathy - If you're working with a charted pattern, yes! This is a handy method for updating sleeve sizes with the ratio numbers given in most patterns! We'd recommend adding in some life-lines if you're testing the waters - enjoy!
I wish you had shown the process of actually knitting all around the sleeve stitches! Because of the length of my needle tips, I can only get these knitted by severely stretching or by slipping onto dpns, knitting, then slipping back. Your circular seems to be about the same length in relation to circumference stitches, so I would really appreciate seeing how you manage it.
Thanks you So Much for this awesome video ( now I’m starting to put my knitting together and how to joint them👌❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏) almost give up… thank you again🤩💝
Hello, thank you for the clearly explained video which was just what I needed as pattern instructions are still a bit of a mystery for me. Could you explain what happens with the bits left on the stitch holders please?
Hi Reece! Once you're finished with the majority of the knitting, you'll close off those stitches using something like the Kitchener Stitch method to close off the spaces between the arms and body. You can view that tutorial here - www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/ Thanks for writing! And let us know if you have any other questions!
@@reecechia1404 Thank you for asking this question! My pattern didn’t explain what to do with them and neither did the video. I knew it couldn’t have been that you’re supposed to leave them open, haha.
HI Jenn! Great question! We always rely on trusty Kitchener Stitch to graft the body to the underarm and have a video for that tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/-nlWKvrGp-4/видео.html Happy Knitting!
I am beginner I am embarrassed to ask how to put sleeve the bottom up yoke at the Ravelry.But finally I understand it. Thank you very much for this tutorial.
I think this would be a good first sweater for me. Is there a pattern? It reminds me of a favorite j crew sweater that I wore out and they no longer make it in wool.
Hi Brian! The construction and shape of this sweater can be viewed in our Purl Soho Pullover Pattern, which is available here! www.purlsoho.com/purl-soho-pullover-pattern.html Thanks for writing!
Hi, Great instructions! Great jumper! For my third time making this pattern (!), I would like to purchase exactly that colour wool. It doesn't seem to be available on your website. Is there still a way to purchase it?
Thanks for writing! This yarn is our Cashmere Merino Bloom in the discontinued color Honey Pink. While we no longer make Honey Pink in Cashmere Merino Bloom (I agree it was a great pink!) we do carry Honey Pink in our Linen Quill collection, available here: www.purlsoho.com/linen-quill.html Please note that Linen Quill is a fingering weight, so not an easy substitution, but we've just released a few new colors of Cashmere Merino Bloom which may be to your liking! www.purlsoho.com/cashmere-merino-bloom.html Happy knitting!
Vídeo perfeito! Quando realizava a junção das mangas ficavam dois buracos extras em cada manga. Partirei para uma nova tentativa, seguindo cada detalhe explicado no vídeo. Obrigada!
Thank you for this. I had no idea how to follow the pattern I bought (I am a novice knitter). I still have a question: my pattern does not say anything about leaving those "under arm stitches" there. I think as a result everything will be REAL tight. Is this possible? What do you do with those stitches? Are they already "closed"? Thanks everyone for any help you can provide.
Hi Paula - without seeing your pattern, it's tough to say! But generally the process of joining the sleeves to the body should not create any un-necessary tension in the underarm area. Many patterns will have you close up these spaces once the knitting is done, using a process called a Kitchener Stitch for example. Let us know how we can help, if you have questions still! We're here for you!
OMG! I just finished a top that, turned out amazing in the end, this video really would have helped with. I didn't know what the heck I was doing attaching the sleeves. I just gave up and sewed the pits with a length of yard afterwards. Who knew I was on the right track to begin with! This video will make the next one much easier. I made mine circular yoke, do you have one that explains the raglan decreases?
Thanks for writing in! Having your sleeves on circular needles will certainly make the step of adding them all together a bit easier! And putting the stitches 'on hold' simply means putting them on scrap yarn or a stitch holder - simply setting them aside until you're ready to graft them back onto your working needle! Let us know if you need any more help!
Fantastic tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for! One question. For the second sleeve that was just on hold, do you re-place the needles when you've completed attaching the first sleeve?
Hi Holly! Yes exactly! After you finish integrating your first sleeve, you'll need to move the second sleeve from waste yarn back onto needles. Happy knitting!
Thanks for the great video. I've been close to getting over my nervousness at making either a top down or bottom up ITR sweater as I've only learned in the round (and only on Magic Loop) about a year ago after knitting only flat forever. Do you have a tutorial on how to attach ITR sleeves to a flat knit body? That'd be a huge help!
Hi there! If you're following a pattern, then the pattern will specify exactly how many stitches to bind off for the underarm. Depending on the size you're making, it will be a different amount. Hope this helps!
Hi Marlene, after you complete the garment, you will graft the underarm stitches together using Kitchener stitch! We have a tutorial right here: www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/
Thanks for writing in, Dawn! Currently we don't have a video demonstrating the final process of a sweater but we do have a very handy pattern which walks you through the entire process! Check out our free Lightweight Raglan Pullover pattern, which utilizes this technique! www.purlsoho.com/create/2016/05/31/lightweight-raglan-pullover/
So when do the parallel underarm stitches get sewn up? You don't mention that. Is it after you finish the sweater, and you just sew them up with a three-needle bindoff, or is it something different you do?
Hi Laura! The armpit stitches will be grafted together using the kitchener stitch once you have completed the rest of the knitting for the sweater. We have a handy tutorial for the kitchener stitch here: www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/
There is not at the moment but I'm happy to pass along the suggestion! You can find a full list of tutorials on your website (as well as many bottom up sweater patterns) to grow your skillset! www.purlsoho.com/create/knit/tutorials/ Happy knitting!
Hi Deatra! Thanks for writing in! This one can be a challenge because every pattern is worked differently in this area depending on the construction of the sweater. We will certainly keep your request in mind!
Maybe this is a really stupid question but do you end up with a big whole in the armpit where the cast offs were? I'm at the point of attaching sleeves on a cardigan and you've shown clearly what my pattern is saying but I don't understand how the armpits will work if they've been bound off?
Great question! You will have a small opening under each arm. We recommended using the Kitchener Stitch to close those up - a common step in finishing sweaters! Thanks for writing and here's a link to that tutorial: www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/
Hi Rose! The underarm stitches on hold will later be grafted using a method like the Kitchener Stitch. You can view our tutorial for that technique here: www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/ Thanks for writing! Let us know if you have any other questions!
Do you mean to make a video tutorial for that process or if this video works for top-down? If you're interested in top-down knitting, we'd recommend taking a look at our Top-Down Circular Yoke Pullover - which walks you through all the steps for knitting a top-down sweater. Let us know if this helps! www.purlsoho.com/create/2017/11/01/top-down-circular-yoke-pullover/
@@PurlSoho I was asking if adding the sleeves in this manner can also be done in a top-down pattern and if it can then a video would be fabulous. What prevents me from doing top down patterns is the sleeves. Thank you :-)
@@yvonnemaisonette9230 Thanks for the clarification, Yvonne! Joining pre-knit sleeves to a top-down sweater design creates a problem with joining as your sleeves would have been knit from the cuff upwards - and the collar knit top-down to the join. Your knitting would then meet in the middle and would create a visible jogging at the joining row. While it's feasible that this could be done, the fussiness of it might put you off - as well as the visible "mending" you would see when joining the pieces together. Is there a method of sleeve knitting you prefer?
@@PurlSoho I am going to try helix knitting in the round for garter stitch. I absolutely love the simplicity of European garter stitch patterns and think this might be a winning combo for me. We'll see!
Hi Molly! Thanks for writing! This is our Purl Soho Pullover using a discontinued color of Worsted Twist called Honey Pink. You can view the yarn and the pattern here! Thanks! www.purlsoho.com/worsted-twist.html www.purlsoho.com/purl-soho-pullover-pattern.html
Hello, so I am sort of improving a dress and I’m well versed in bottom up tops. I added my sleeves and I noticed they’re rather tight when I try it on, in that I can’t move my arms much. I left a decent amount of stitches for both sleeve and top to seam. Should I have started the underarm hole lower for more flexibility to move my arm?
Thanks for writing in - sorry to hear you're having issues with your sleeves! Have you taken gauge measurements to ensure that the stitch count for your sleeves makes the width needed for your upper arm? Also if you're knitting a dress, it may be adding some bulk which are pulling down on the yoke of the garment, causing some constriction to occur in the upper arm area. We're happy to help brainstorm so let us know how we can help!
Hello! I'm afraid that we do not have a tutorial on yoke shaping, since it can vary significantly depending on the construction of the pattern (e.g. raglan yoke, circular yoke, etc). But the way that the yoke is shaped in a bottom-up sweater is always through decrease stitches! You can find our tutorials on k2tog and ssk decreases below: www.purlsoho.com/create/knit-two-together-k2tog/ www.purlsoho.com/create/slip-slip-knit-ssk/ I hope these help, and as always, you're welcome to reach out to us directly if you have any specific questions by sending an email to customerservice@purlsoho.com!
Thanks for writing in! This particular cast on is a standard long tail cast on. The naturally rolling hem you're seeing is from the slight rolling that occurs from stockinette stitch in the round. Hope this helps!
Hi Maria! The underarm stitches are usually grafted together at the completion of the process - using a Kitchener Stitch or other grafting technique! You can see that technique demonstrated here: www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/ Let us know if you have any questions!
Thank you so much for this video! I had no clue what the pattern wanted and I was about to throw my knitting into the corner but now I can actually finish it! :D

So when do the parallel underarm stitches get sewn up? You don't mention that. Is it after you finish the sweater, and you just sew them up with a three-needle bindoff, or is it something different you do?
Hi Laura! The armpit stitches will be grafted together using the kitchener stitch once you have completed the rest of the knitting for the sweater. We have a handy tutorial for the kitchener stitch here: www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/
Is there a video how to finish the top?
There is not at the moment but I'm happy to pass along the suggestion! You can find a full list of tutorials on your website (as well as many bottom up sweater patterns) to grow your skillset!

Happy knitting!
@@PurlSoho Thank you! 🙂
This is very helpfull. Thank you.🥰
Thanks, that was very helpful.
This is a vid that I've been looking for. I wish this was zoomed in a bit more...
Useful
Can you do a video on how you work the arm/neck decreases theres really no videos on youtube that i can find. Thanks for the video's
Hi Deatra! Thanks for writing in! This one can be a challenge because every pattern is worked differently in this area depending on the construction of the sweater. We will certainly keep your request in mind!
Yes pls
I am finding how to increase the knitting in sleeves .....but i didn't find it
Still nothing
Maybe this is a really stupid question but do you end up with a big whole in the armpit where the cast offs were? I'm at the point of attaching sleeves on a cardigan and you've shown clearly what my pattern is saying but I don't understand how the armpits will work if they've been bound off?
Great question! You will have a small opening under each arm. We recommended using the Kitchener Stitch to close those up - a common step in finishing sweaters! Thanks for writing and here's a link to that tutorial:

Thank you so much
Thank that was udeluk👍🏼
what do you do with the leftover stitches on the underarm???
Hi Rose! The underarm stitches on hold will later be grafted using a method like the Kitchener Stitch. You can view our tutorial for that technique here:
www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/
Thanks for writing! Let us know if you have any other questions!
Very beautiful💐👍
Can you do this when working top down also??
Do you mean to make a video tutorial for that process or if this video works for top-down? If you're interested in top-down knitting, we'd recommend taking a look at our Top-Down Circular Yoke Pullover - which walks you through all the steps for knitting a top-down sweater. Let us know if this helps!

@@PurlSoho I was asking if adding the sleeves in this manner can also be done in a top-down pattern and if it can then a video would be fabulous. What prevents me from doing top down patterns is the sleeves. Thank you :-)
@@yvonnemaisonette9230 Thanks for the clarification, Yvonne! Joining pre-knit sleeves to a top-down sweater design creates a problem with joining as your sleeves would have been knit from the cuff upwards - and the collar knit top-down to the join. Your knitting would then meet in the middle and would create a visible jogging at the joining row. While it's feasible that this could be done, the fussiness of it might put you off - as well as the visible "mending" you would see when joining the pieces together. Is there a method of sleeve knitting you prefer?
@@PurlSoho I am going to try helix knitting in the round for garter stitch. I absolutely love the simplicity of European garter stitch patterns and think this might be a winning combo for me. We'll see!
@@yvonnemaisonette9230 Sounds fun! Happy knitting!
Perfect!!!!!
Is this a Purl Soho pattern? And which yarn is this in your video?
Hi Molly! Thanks for writing! This is our Purl Soho Pullover using a discontinued color of Worsted Twist called Honey Pink. You can view the yarn and the pattern here! Thanks!

Hello, so I am sort of improving a dress and I’m well versed in bottom up tops. I added my sleeves and I noticed they’re rather tight when I try it on, in that I can’t move my arms much. I left a decent amount of stitches for both sleeve and top to seam. Should I have started the underarm hole lower for more flexibility to move my arm?
Thanks for writing in - sorry to hear you're having issues with your sleeves! Have you taken gauge measurements to ensure that the stitch count for your sleeves makes the width needed for your upper arm? Also if you're knitting a dress, it may be adding some bulk which are pulling down on the yoke of the garment, causing some constriction to occur in the upper arm area. We're happy to help brainstorm so let us know how we can help!
Where's the next tutorial on how to shape the bodice?
Hello! I'm afraid that we do not have a tutorial on yoke shaping, since it can vary significantly depending on the construction of the pattern (e.g. raglan yoke, circular yoke, etc). But the way that the yoke is shaped in a bottom-up sweater is always through decrease stitches! You can find our tutorials on k2tog and ssk decreases below:
www.purlsoho.com/create/knit-two-together-k2tog/
www.purlsoho.com/create/slip-slip-knit-ssk/
I hope these help, and as always, you're welcome to reach out to us directly if you have any specific questions by sending an email to customerservice@purlsoho.com!
What is this bottom hem cast-on called? I love the way it rolls a bit, but cannot find the name of the cast on/way to acieve this. Thanks in advance x
Thanks for writing in! This particular cast on is a standard long tail cast on. The naturally rolling hem you're seeing is from the slight rolling that occurs from stockinette stitch in the round. Hope this helps!
Sorry but the stitches free underarms? When bind off?
Thank you.
Hi Maria! The underarm stitches are usually grafted together at the completion of the process - using a Kitchener Stitch or other grafting technique! You can see that technique demonstrated here:
www.purlsoho.com/create/kitchener-stitch-video/
Let us know if you have any questions!
@@PurlSoho
Thank you. I try it.
What happens to the underarm live stitches? Just Kutcher stitch them?
Every pattern will have a different means of closing the gap - but kitchener is a steadfast method, that we always love it for its tidiness!
How dou you knit the 8 stitches left in the underarms?
Hi Mana! Great question! You will kitchener the underarm stitches together once you have completed the knitting!
