Thank you so much for your kindness. 💕💕
This is so stunning! And the music in the background is so soothing
😍😍
That is a gorgeous sweater and I will be making it only longer. Awesome. Thank you so much for this.
You’re welcome 😊 Enjoy!
Love, love, love. Good morning from Montana. It's a balmy 44*. Time to get those needles out and make a sweater. Thanks for the terrific demonstration on German short rows. I can't wait to try this technique.
Yes, perfect sweater making weather. ☺️
Perfect project for me. Beautiful cardigan pattern. Thank you!❤️

Happy Friday Chandi. I love your art paintings. Thank you for sharing and demonstrating the techniques of knitting. I’m still learning and enjoying it very much.
Thank you! 😍😍
Wanna know what’s so weird? I always wake up every Friday morning now and think “Thank God it’s Fiber Friday!” 🥰🥰
I love it! 😍 😊
Yes, me too! I wake up thinking, "I wonder what pattern does Chandi have for us today?" Thanks very much Chandi!

Thank you for such a lovely free pattern. That button placket takes a utilitarian piece to a new level. Anxious to give this a try as a toilet first before I do it in your beautiful yarn. Gives me time to save up for it..
You are so welcome! I hope you enjoy! ☺️
Very sweet. Love the colorings.
💕
Thank you for this beautiful pattern! I love german short rows, it's very easy and it looks very good.

I love cardigans! I am going to practice with a baby cardigan and if it goes well try this one out. The green gradient sounds like a great idea. I’ll have to watch Ravelry to see what colors others have come up with. Update: nice to learn German short rows. Never used those (knowingly) before.
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy! 💕

Toujours aussi beau !

Omg German short rows are way easier than wrap and turns, which I would lose track of if I wasn't paying attention lol thanks Chandi!
They are! You are welcome! 💕
What a gorgeous sweater! I LOVE the colors you chose. You are such a gifted Fiber Artist, as well as, a gifted paint Artist!! Are you painting on canvas? Oh yes, and THANK YOU so very much for the pattern and tips for the stitches, it will help do much as I'm better at visual learning.
Thanks! It's hot pressed watercolor paper
I absolutely adore ❤ ALL of the patterns I am able to get from you!! I'm always looking forward to exploring my options and expanding myself! My afghan is nearly done so this cardigan will be one of many patterns I will be able to challenge myself with!! I will be posting my Afghan on Instagram soon 🤞🏼😃🥰🧶👍🏼... tons of Wool in this baby.. like I had said, I had made a Queen size for my son and his fiance for this last Christmas and so on January 27th I started my King Size Afghan.. That's alot of Wool ☺... I'm trying to use up most of my stash, great reason to buy more 😉😅... #YarnMakesMeHappy🧶 #GPWarrior💚🤟🏼🧘🏼♀️
XOXO 😘!!! I hope all is well with you and Tim!! Be Safe and Stay Healthy 🙏🏼❤!!
Thanks, my friend! I am so excited to see your Afghan! I bet it is absolutely lovely! 😍😍😍 I hope you have an amazing weekend! ☺️☺️
Wonderful. Thanks!!
💕💕
That's a gorgeous pattern and the yarn is lovely but I still can't stop thinking how awkward the continental knitting looks compared to our English method xx 💕
💕💕
I love your red dress.
Thank you so much! 💕
Pretty Cosmos in the painting..!! I love the sweater but I would try to make the neckline a little smaller..nice colors...👍
💕💕
Magnifique
Thank you!
Hello Chandi. Thank you so much for the tutorial. On the German short rows, I’ve never done them so, do you stop and start before or one stitch after the first row when doing the second set for the back of a neck shaping. Thank you for your teaching patience.

Yahhh for Friday’s
🌸💕🌸
Salve bellissima e simpaticissima il tuo lavoro 👩💻 e bellissimo
💕💕💕
You're killing me!!! 🤣🤣🤣 This is BEAUTIFUL, the buttons are perfect for the sweater and the YARN is AMAZING!!! I looked at the yarn choices and calculated the yarn needed 😭... I have to choose hair cut, nails or yarn🤔. Haven't had my hair done since 7 month's ago, nail 2 months ago and and bought more yarn since September Oasis fingering yarn, what comes first😢 Got to go with hair before the Gov shuts the salons down again. Sooooo I'm starting a yarn stash fund so I can buy the yarn to knit this sweater ($200 +). 🙄 shhheeessshhhh
I'm so glad you like it! 😍😍😍😍
@@ExpressionFiberArts Hi Chandi, the yarn fund fairy found me so I bought the yarn (wooohoooo) 🤣 and I have a question. I'm not a very experience knitter but hey, you have to start to step up and take on different challenges. 😊 I was reading through the pattern and it indicates 5mm DPN's but I don't know what length neddles to purchase? What would be better wood, metal or plastic?🤔 Thanks for your wisdom and suggestions. I wish you well.
@@HugsXO Sure - any length of dpns would be fine. I prefer metal but if you're a beginner, wooden ones will be easier as they will hold the yarn better. You can also just use circulars instead and use the magic loop method if you prefer!
@@ExpressionFiberArts I have circular metal needles and I look for info on magic loop. As to the length of the DPN's, does it matter? No one has been able tell me about this other than you with using MLM. Thanks Chandi, can't wait to get6 the yarn.😊💕💕💕
@@HugsXO The length of DPN's doesn't matter. I hope this helps! 💕💕
I do love this pattern and your wool, but can the pattern be used unmarled and not doubled in wool? I would find this cardi too hot, but with just one layer of wool it would be beautiful. Any options available to creating a pattern that is one strand not two? Sorry to be painful, but I love the wool and the pattern. In Australia we don't need such heavy knitwear for winter.
You can for sure play around with various yarns to see what you prefer. Just make sure you get gauge!
In one of your patterns you do ssk, is there a structural difference between that and k2togtbl? I’ve been looking everywhere and I cannot find a definitive answer?
From what I understand, the difference is that k2togtbl makes a stitch that is twisted while the ssk does not. I hope that makes sense.
I would love to try your yarn❤!! but because of covid im working less since they cut my hrs so Ive started knitting and it helps me stay sane. Can you provide a list of other more affordable yarn to use with this pattern?
Thank you! 💕 Honestly, any sport weight yarn held double or any yarn held together to create gauge would work. 💕
Hi Chandi,
Thanks to you and Jane for the lovely pattern, can I ask if instead of the twisted tweed, can you substitute with Luster sport weight? Also I am not used to knitting using skeins instead of balls of wool, for quantities would I use the following based on size 7 requirements ColourA
2 skeins, Colour B 2 skeins & Colour C 3 skeins. Thanks Angela
PS. Can I just add how lovely it is to have a pattern that runs to larger sizes, I can knit this for myself🧶💜🧡
you sure could! I think those would be the correct amount for that size. I hope you enjoy! 💕
@@ExpressionFiberArts thank you
What the the average total cost of wool be to knit cardi like this please? Thank you.
It would depend on which yarn you use and the size you make. Here is a link to the products that we used for ours: www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/sport/twisted-tweed.html
I can't figure out the way the sizing is done, which one would be XXL in US sizing?
The easiest and most accurate way to figure out what size you should make is measuring your bust circumference. Based on that and adding the amount of ease you'd like to have in your cardigan (Sweetgum suggests 0-4" of ease) you can choose the Finished Size. So for example if you have a bust size of 40" and take into account the positive ease of something between 0-4" you should make size 5 which is a finished bust of 42".
I hope this helps and explains how to choose for the correct garment size for you.
Have a great day! 💙
@@ExpressionFiberArts it does perfectly, thank you so much!!
Hi sweetie Chandi....I want to knit an XL...how many skeins of dk yarn would I need?
Hey, Linda! Happy to assist! Please reach out to us here with all the details and we'll get it figured out for you. :) www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/
Thank you I will.💖
This is a gorgeous pattern and is very tempting to make. I've never made a sweater before. I'm confused about the sizes. SIZES: 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) (8, 9, 10) : 31 (33.5, 35.5, 39) (42, 46.5, 50) (54, 58, 62)”/ 78 (85, 90, 99) (106, 118, 127) (137, 148, 158) cm
How do I know what size to make for myself?
The numbers correspond to ones bust size. So for instance, if you make a 1 it would create a 31" bust which would also be 78 centimeters. (and so forth) Another example would be if you make a 5 it would create a 42" bust size which would be 106 centimeters. Does that help?
@@ExpressionFiberArts yes, thank you.
This explanation helped me so much! I was confused also. Thank you!
I am excited to start my first cardigan after being a knitter for over 40 years! I've knitted the Palette Shawl three times now - one for me, my daughter, and my granddaughter. I've knitted bunches of mittens, scarves, cowls, vests, never a sweater - so here we go. QUESTION Does the size 3 correlate to a 35.5-inch bust? Is it true to size? Thanks, Chandi for another great knitting project!
Yes, the size 3 correlates to a 35.5. inch bust. The bust is true to size. I am a size 34 bust and I wore a size 3 in the pictures. 💕
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thank you so much! and thank you for your spirit! Your channel is a delight to watch! Can't wait to start my cardigan in New York At Night, Laguna and Deep Sea Blue!
@@littlezencrone It is going to be sooo lovely!
What is the color of the yarn you were using it is very pretty.
Angie, I believe it was our Gray Pearl color? Currently not in stock but feel free to request it here if interested! www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/

HELP! I love this cardigan! Where do i find the FREE pattern?
I'm so glad you like it! You can find it here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/sweetgum.html
I am knitting the cardigan XS for my dil, as a surprise. I would like some guidance regarding the length of the garment from sleeves down to bottom. Approx how many inches/centimeters please. 9:22
Have you downloaded the full written pattern from our website yet? It includes all the details you're looking for. You can find it here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/sweetgum.html
The link is usually also given in the description box below the tutorial. The written instructions for the Sweetgum Cardigan have a schematic on page 10 which will give you length for body and sleeves. For an XS size the sleeve length from the underarm will be 16.25" and the body will be 11.75" from under arm to hem. I hope this answers your question.
Have a nice day! 💙
0:21 I had downloaded Ibisco pattern, which is the one I'm referring to. Apologies for the confusion (I used a link on the pattern for German short rows) Can you help with Ibisco?😊
what's the needle size you're using ???
We used a US size 8 needle. Here are all of the details: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/sweetgum.html 💕
