In this video, I'll walk you through all the steps to create a simple net summer sweater. This sweater is for whose of you, who've completed their first knitted garments and ready to try something new.
You will meet the following techniques: cast on, knit, purl, purl 2 together, yarn over, cast off.
The sweater is worked bottom up, back and forth on the needles. The Back, Front pieces and Sleeves are worked separately and sewn together to finish.
There is a lot of positive ease. You can also choose to knit the next size up/ down. I am wearing a size S and, I am 168 cm tall (5’6’’) with a 89 cm (35 inches) bust circumference.
7 sizes are available in the PDF knitting pattern: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL. I demonstrate how to knit size S.
Materials:
1. Yarn. I used Drops "Paris" yarn (50 g/75 m, color #17 Off White) for this project.
Drops "You 8" also will work (50 g/ 85 m). You will need (7-9-9-10-11-13-13) 50 grams skeins for your size.
Also you can try mercerised cotton by Lion Brand "24/7 Cotton" (100g/170m). You will need (4-4-4-5-5-6-7) 50 grams skeins for your size.
GAUGE: 12 stitches x 20 rows in a 10 cm (4 in) piece in Lace stitch.
2. Circular needles 6 mm (US 10) and approx 60 cm total length.
3. Crochet 3-5 mm/ D-H (optional).
Lace knit stitch.
Slip 1st stitch, purl 1, yarn over, purl 2 stitches together*, purl 2. (repeat patter between the asterisk *).

Halcyon sweater story:
I have nothing to wear this summer! So, I decided to knit a lightweight sweater. But all the patterns I found required thin yarn and needles as thin as a pin :) The beautiful lace stitches were filled with strange abbreviations and complicated diagrams.
I needed elegant yet simple solution. A loose-fit silhouette, a basic lace knit stitch, and medium-weight natural yarn. And it won't take forever to make!
After testing numerous lace stitches I finally found one that seemed unremarkable at first. But as soon as I knitted a sample, I realized it would be the best sweater I've ever made. And I will definitely wear it!
I named it Halcyon, which means a happy time in the past. This name perfectly captures the joy I felt while knitting this sweater. And now, I want to share this delightful feeling with you!

If you're wondering HOW TO COUNT STITCHES in the lace pattern for the gauge, you can follow my method.
1. Count the stitches in your swatch by verifying them in the ribbing - I have 16 stitches.
2. Then measure the width - is 13 cm/5 inches. Divide the width by the number of stitches and determine how many cm/inches are in one stitch. I have 0.8 cm/0.3 inches.
3. Then I divide 10 cm/ 4 inches by 0.8 cm/ 0.3 inches and get 12-13 stitches. This give me the gauge.
4. If you have 10-15 stitches in a 10 cm/4 inches piece, you won't be surprised by the sweater size at the end of knitting.
To count rows, you can simply count the edge stitches and multiply by two to get an approximate count of 20 rows.
You can modify the length of the sweater according to your preference, so there's no need to worry about it.

I loved your tutorial.
You speak so calmly and clearly. The design is simple but lovely, and I really like the lace stitch. I've been reluctant to do much lacework but now that I've seen how to actually DO a lifeline, I can think of a few projects I'm going to try. Your tips are great and super useful: I love how well you demonstrate everything.
I've got several WIPs going but I'm defining going to make this sweater...I probably have the yarn for it already 😊
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I'm thrilled to hear that you found the tutorial helpful and that you're inspired to try lacework and lifelines for your future projects.

@knitwithesenique thank you. I'm looking forward to giving it a good try. Waiting for my yarn :-) thanks again for the great tutorial!!!
Спасибо. Очень красиво
Спасибо за ваши добрые слова 😊
Hi love your sweater ❤ Can I use larger needles if I want the lace holes larger and would I follow the pattern the same or cast on less?
Hello, thank you! 😊 I recommend starting with a swatch. If you like the results, you can go down a size.
I really wanna try to make a long cardigan with this stitch. But how you decrease it properly? 8:37
I made decreases for the armholes in this tutorial for Sunlit top (8:50).

There are 2-row repeat with P2tog and P3tog.
I picked up knitting last year. RUclips is a great medium to find awesome projects and this is one of them. Is it possible to knit this stitch using only knit stitches? I don’t like to purl. Thank you for this tutorial.
I'm glad you're enjoying knitting and finding inspiration on RUclips! 🧶 You can certainly adapt this pattern to use only knit stitches if you prefer not to purl. Instead of P2tog, you can try K2tog (knit two stitches together) for a similar effect. It might be a bit tighter, but you can adjust your tension to make it work. Happy knitting, and I hope you enjoy making this project! 😊🌟"
@@knitwithesenique thank you for the information. I will give it a try when my other projects are finished.
Which wool you are using. Please I like it

Heya Esenique How many balls of yarn for this sweater? Thanks
Hello:)
I used Drops “Paris” yarn (100% cotton, 50 g/75 m (1.8 oz/82 yards), color #17 Off White) for this project. You will need from
7 to 13 skeins (50 grams/1.8 oz) for your size.
More info is in the listing description. esnqknit.etsy.com
Thank you so much Esenique, I love that. Greetings from South-Africa
I cannot understand the yarn details in the material section.. plz someone explain in simplest way.
The yarn used is Drops "Paris" which has a weight of 50 grams and a length of 75 meters. You'll need 7-13 skeins based on your size. An alternative is Lion Brand "24/7 Cotton" (100g/170m), requiring 4-7 skeins.
You can also check your local yarn store for 100% cotton yarn with similar weights and lengths.
I hope this helps! 😊
@@knitwithesenique thank you so much. I couldn't understand the skein part.. now it's clear. M on it 😍
hey, do you mean 9 yarn balls are needed to make this is S size? thanks : )
You will need 9 yarn balls for size S (50 grams/ 75-85 meters each). I used Drops Paris.
Demasiado grande
Puedes tejer una talla 1-2 más pequeña y el suéter quedará más ajustado 🌷
I dropped some stitches and don't know how to fix it😭😭😭
Hello, the best tip is to use a lifeline every 10 cm 🌷
@@knitwithesenique hi, my question would be the same.. unfortunately, I didn't use a life line, and it's difficult, it's not possible it is hard to fix the dropped stiches . Could you help?
No knitting is not my cup of tea i am crochet person 😊
Why you always use circular needles😢
I find circular needles more comfortable and versatile for my knitting style. However, it's worth noting that the Halcyon sweater can be knitted with straight needles, except for the neckline.🌸
Apparently I'm the only one having problems with this, but I can for the life of me not find the difference in your first row of lace and the second one 🤷
Hello, they are the same 🙂 This pattern has only 1 row repeat.
@@knitwithesenique Okay, my bad. thought it said that in the description.
@@flagerdevil I fixed the description! Thank you!
