I made my first ever hexagon cardigan and your video saved me! People don't realize how much dedication it takes to make clothes for yourself when you're plus-sized! You often have to adapt the pattern, which is not the easiest for a beginner like me, and it takes soooo much more time to make! Sometimes in the pattern they say it took them like 2 days, and I'm like "yay, short project" but then 1 week later I'm not even half way done, struggling and wanting to give up😂 Anyway, thanks so much for your content, it really helps! 😄
I totally agree!! I am so happy that it helped you ❤❤❤
The wrist cuff was my moment of "am i going to finish this?" I made almost a complete cuff with only one decrease, and it was double the size i needed the cuff to be. frogged it, decreased again and its still not small enough. So I'm frogging it again and doing another row of decreases and hoping it works his time. Or this sweater is going to go in the WIP box, never to be seen again! Fourth cuff is the charm right?! hahaha
I'm making my first hexagon cardigan, and as a plus sized woman, I got very discouraged by the lack of information on how to adapt the cardigans to fit my body. I planned on frogging the whole thing and giving up until i found your video. Thank you so much for posting this and helping out a fellow plus sized crocheter ❤ I'm finishing up the first half of my cardigan right now
This helped so much… I have used your video and like 3 others to combine and make my cardigan (not done yet). Thank you
I'm so happy I could help!! ❤️❤️❤️
So happy to find a plus size teacher who understands how to fix patterns, I’m to the point where I’m getting concerned about the length of the sleeves so happy I found you, thanks❤
❤ excellent video, makes perfect sense, thank you for your time!
This is amazing! Thank you so much. It’s so hard finding plus size modifications for ANYTHING in crochet. I appreciate you!!!
Yay!! I am so happy I could help ❤❤❤
I watched your previous videos but failed to see the one where you indicated the yarns used for your pretty cardigan...
God bless you for making this tutorial. Didn’t think I was going to get to wear a hexagon cardigan
Awww, I am so happy I could help Claire!!
Came here from a recommendation in a FB. My birthday is also 11/23! My wedding anniversary is in November too and my husband and I always buy each buy a version of the Pokémon games when they release. I’m on 1:11 into your video but we are already like the same person! ❤❤❤
Awww I love it!! Welcome Stacey!! ❤️❤️❤️
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to make your diagram and explaining it so thoroughly. HUGE help as I too am a plus size woman who needs a 5x . You have a subscriber for life now!!
Ahhh yay!! I am so glad I could help Christine!!
Thank you for explaining so clearly and having the reference photo!
Love the way your cardigan is turning out.
Thank you hun!!
I absolutely loveeeeeeee this video...I am in the midst of making a hexagon coat and was getting ready to panic because as good as other videos are that explain what I needed, to decrease the sleeve size but add length, none were as succinct and clear as yours. Whew! What a lifesaver, or project saver, I really appreciate how you showed decreasing the stitches on the arm, up close. YAY! I subscribed just because your efforts are of such great value to me and others. Thank you so very much!!!!!!
Awwww this literally made my day 🥺❤❤ thank you for your comment!! I am SO happy you found this helpful!
I just love how you figure things out. I could never do that. Your cardigan is going to be beautiful when it's done.
Awww thank you so much Julie!!
Thank you so much for the diagram and explanation. I’ve been working on my cardigan for a while, hoping to not have extra long sleeves because I’m in the tropics, and your explanation on working in the round after seaming the sleeves was just perfect, exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Yay!! I am so so happy I could help ❤
Loving the color choices 😍 My alexa answered your question. 😂🤣😅
Thank you hun!! And LOL oops!!
Doing the single crochet around the neckline is an excellent idea!! Great video, gave me some great tips!!
Wow thank you SO much! I just jumped into this project but i had no idea how to proceed to make the thing actually fit ha ha. Your explanation is so thorough and is exactly what I needed to make it work!
Yay!! I am so happy you found this helpful ❤❤🧶
This makes sense!I can't believe I found the exact topic I was searching for!thank u!
I’m so happy I found your channel!
Welcome!!
Oh! This video has been found at the perfect time! I was following a different RUclips tutorial’s sizing chart to make a hexagon cardigan somewhere between a 3X and 4X but in doing that, I’ve made the sleeves waaaaay too big for my liking. So now I’m going back and trying to figure out how to stop the cardigan at a sleeve width I like, but to keep going to add to the front and the back since I’m plus sized. I knew I’d have to add to the rounds - what you show here in orange, but I wasn’t planning on joining them because that then pushes the armpit too far so then I was lost on how I’d do the edging. Let’s just say it’s been a long few days and I’m very glad I found your video! I’m going to go through your videos to see if you show the cardigan now. Excuse me. 🙃
Yay, I am so happy to hear that this helped! Goodluck with your sweater!! ❤️🧶 I have shown the finished cardigan, hopefully you were able to find it. I'll link it in the description of this video after I comment this so you can see it incase you didn't find it lol!
Love your matching glasses and hair. Nice drawing and explanations, good to help for us plus size ladies.
Thank you Sue! 🤗 I am so glad you liked it!
beautiful explanation!! i’m making my first hexi cardi for a plus size friend and i want to get it just right!! thank you so much for the tips💜
Thank you so much! I am so happy you found this helpful!!
Awsome additional instructions on making adjustments for plus sizes. Thank you.
I am happy you liked it, thank you Rose! 🥰💓💓
Thank you thank you thank you for making this. Seriously. All I want to do is make a granny hexagon cardigan that fits me and hardly anyone makes patterns that explain it like you do. Most of the time all they say is "just add more rows" but I have to SEE it written out or in a video like this.
Yay, I am so happy I could help!!
That cardigan is so pretty, I love the colors. Thanks for sharing!!! Have a great day!!!❤
Thank you! You too Traci!!!🥰💖💖
Great drawing! You’ve helped me so much.
Yay!! I am so glad I can help my gnomies!
Hi Nova. This reminds me of the first winter coat that I purchased for myself when I was 19 (72 now). The main sleeves were loose, almost belled, and quite short. The sleeve that came down over my wrist, was knitted. It was attached approximately 4 inches up inside the sleeve, then decreased to become slightly snug on my arm and snug onto my hand. It looked amazing. Instead of reducing or gathering your sleeve in, you could leave it loose, attach stitches up inside the sleeve and crochet a snug long sleeve of any colour. My coat was plaid with very dark brown knitted, snug sleeves and it was amazing. It had a knitted part inside at my chin, which looked like there also was a knitted brown cowl. I loved that coat. Personally, I think that your sleeves would be more stylish, left loose and short with tight, long sleeves coming out from underneath. With much love, Audrey. ❤️🇨🇦🧶😘
Ohhh I just love your ideas!! Thank you for sharing your story about your coat and your ideas for modifications! Love it!! 🥰💖
This has been very helpful. I have not done a hexicardi yet, but plan on doing one sometime this spring after some of my WIPS get finished. I was worried about the sleeve width if I make the hexagon large enough to meet in front and back. I also may make a collar and button bands.
This is helping me so much again today with a cardi for myself as I need a 5xl also. Thanks again hunny ✌️💜🇬🇧
Thank you so much! I'm a new crocheter and I had no idea how to make the hexagon cardigan to fit me. I really appreciate this video.
You are so welcome! Welcome to the amazing world of crochet - and to your new addiction lol!! ❤ Good luck!!
this was so helpful, thank you so much this is the only video that really explained plus size mod
I'm so glad it was helpful for you!
Would love to see your finished hexagon jacket. I started mine a while ago and thank you for information ❤
This video was so helpful! I just decided to make my first hexagon cardigan. I am in the planning stage and a plus size. I am fairly new to designing crochet, so adjusting for plus size fit never crossed my mind. I would have been so disappointed if I had not come across this video. Thank you! ❤
Yay! I am so happy you found it helpful!! ❤ Goodluck with your cardi! 🧶🧶
Thank you so much for this plus size hexagon cardigan pattern, looking forward to making it.
Your explanation is terrific! Thank you!
Me the hubs and kids along with my best friend and her husband are going to my parents for Thanksgiving. Since my best friends mom passed and her dad is in a nursing home my parents have made her and her husband come to all holiday functions. Thanks for making this. I was watching Kelsie’s video and want to make the cardigan but wasn’t sure how to make it my size
Definitely would love to see the pattern for the finished frog, and the finishing of the derpy one ❤️
Exactly what I needed. I’m lost with my pattern- and by the way I absolutely love your frames!
I'm so glad! And thank you 😊🥰
When you asked Alexa my Alexa answered. LOL
😂
LOL oops!!
Thank you so much for your modifications. My hexagon cardigan came out so good. Your diagram was great.
I am so happy to hear that!! ❤ thank you!
Nova 🤩 you are a GEM 💎 this video is fantastic!! 💝🥰 Everything about it is extremely helpful! I did want to know about the sleeves but you also covered other areas I really was unsure about like: how to go around the whole cardigan, your way is different than the tutorial we are following and I like it better. Also the tips on adjusting areas along the front for bust/ tummy, OMG, brilliant! Your little drawing and measurements are so useful and helpful, I took screenshots. I will be watching this a few times. I’m thinking of sharing it in a couple of crochet groups I am in. So many designers fail to include differences if they do plus sizing for their patterns-it isn’t just about more rows, there are issues of shaping and proportion. I knew you were onto that when you commented about your cardigan in past videos. Even though this was a lot of work for you and had some serious info, as always it was fun and a pleasure 🎉 I can get to finishing these 2 cardigans with much more confidence! (I want them both finished by my birthday on November 20.!) I’m so grateful thank you! 🤗 😘
Ahhh Marina this made me SO HAPPY! I am so glad the info came across well and was helpful!! I totally agree, it is hard to find truely plus-side patterns, usually they just say to use a bigger hook or something and that only changes it a little! Like you said, there is more to it than that. I can't wait to see your cardis!! And yay, our birthdays are so close together! Happy early b-day!!
Hugs and loves my friend! 💗💗
@@novagnomecreations Happy early birthday (and anniversary!) to you too, sweet friend! I will definitely email you some pics of both cardis asap btw!
You super star ⭐️ this is such a good video 🥰 x
Yay!! Thank you Sharon!! 🥰💖
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Seriously major goals to be able to adapt things and draw it up. I'm still pretty newbish so there is no way i can figure it out yet lol. Thank you so much for making this though! It is daunting a bit. Super worried about doing it wrong and having to frog it or something. I just now have started reading patterns but i think for this i will watch a video since hexi squares look complicated when i look them up in my book i have. I'm excited to make something i can actually wear though! Debating if i want to do mine first or make one for my toddler since it would be smaller and faster to get the jist of it. I subscribed to you since i love how you explain things! Can't wait to binge watch your videos 😂
Ahhh, that makes me so happy! I totally understand, videos are a lot better for things to be visual for me when I am confused too. I actually made a little toddler sized one for my nephew and I would totally recommend that! It helps with seeing how to do it all on a much smaller and quicker to work up scale. Welcome to my cozy little corner of youtube!!
@@novagnomecreations I am going to attempt at the toddler one! I found craft and cuppa has a neat one that they made a video on how to do it so we shall see! I have some sweet roll vivid in the rainbow coloring i will use but i am thinking i will let it just kinda go and see how it will turn out vs cutting the colors out in strips and have tons of ends to weave in. Wish me luck 😂.
@@MamaSwede That is going to be SO gorgeous, you got this!!
Thank you for this!! I was not sure how to approach this project and this helped a ton!
Glad it helped! 💓🧶
THANK YOU!!! I am a plus size and this just saved me a lot of headache ❤❤
BTW the sweater (what we could see) is gorgeous!!!
Yay, I am so happy you found this helpful!! Goodluck on your project and thank you so much 😊💜🧶
Thank you
Hi sunshine! Thank you so much for showing how you did your modifications. I'm always concerned about making a wearable that won't fit right. Your suggestions make perfect sense! Much love 💟 TTFN
Yay!! So happy to hear that it made sense and was helpful. Hugs and loves sis!!
This was so helpful!!
Yay! I am happy you found it helpful Gloria!!
This was so helpful, thank you!! Also, I love your "Pattern Ideas" book. Could you share where you found that book?
I am so glad you found it helpful!! It is on amazon!
@@novagnomecreations I'm sorry to bother you again. I can't find the Pattern Ideas book anywhere. If you could show the front cover. Also, I just found you yesterday and have been looking through your videos. I love the zoomigurumi books and have them all. I'm glad I found your channel.
Thank you! If I make a cardigan this should help.
So happy that I can help Lisa!!
This is so helpful! Thank you so much!
Yay!! I am so happy you found it helpful!
Great job 👏 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much Kathi!!
Love this! Thankyou so much.
How much yarn approximately for the size you made?
Thank your for this informative video. I made one for myself last year. I found that my sweater lacked coverage in the middle. This is so full of information for me. I am making one for a friend and I want hers to fit better.
I am so happy I could help!!
Hi nova! Happy late anniversary and birthday! Did you enjoy playing violet? My husband also got scarlet and I got violet!
Thank you so much!! YES I loved it!
lol no😅😅
Hello there. Question. After you joined the top to close the sleeves how did you start the round for the 6 inches. Like did you attach with a slip knot then chained 3 and then did a granny cluster into the next space maybe?
Hi 👋 I love your video. I seen this cardigan on Tiktok from another creator. I feel in love with wanting to make it. I am the same size as you, just curious, how many skens of yarn did you use without add the cuffs of the sleeves?
Can you show a video of ur finished plus size cardigan? I’m not sure how to add to the front so it’s wider in front and at what point??
I was curious, after making the base hexagon you said you worked in rounds to add length to the front/bottom/back. Could you also add panels to the front (similar to what the pattern says to do for the back)? Or even go around like you did without connecting the rows at the top (similar to what the pattern says to do for the bottom)?
Do you have a written pattern for larger sizes. I’m more of a beginner and could use the help
Thank you so much for the sleeve decrease info!! I really don't want to do a cuff and now I won't have to!!
Also, what is the name of the crochet project book/ journal you used to draw our your pattern? I have seen plenty of printable downloads but I have not been able to find an actual BOOK like that!
Love your tutorials!
How many yards total do you think you used?
Thanks for your advice, just what I was looking for, you're awesome!. I'd gotten as far as making two hexagons (long enough for sleeves but not wide enough for 3X body), had seamed up the tops and was just wondering about continuing the granny for the body portion - seeing your chart cinched it! Curious if you added an extra row on each back-side before seaming so that there would be a small neck opening? (did that make any sense?) All of your tips were PERFECT. THANK YOU! I think I'm good to go now. :)
👍👍👍
Hey i deeply appreciate this video!!! Im making a cardigan as a present for my mother in law and shes a 6xl, do you have any jdea how much bigger i should make it? Its hard to find size guide online myself but maybe i jist dont know where to look i apologize n thank you again for your lovely video
I am so happy this helped you! This was for a 5x or 6x roughly (my size) so about the size I talked about details for is actually perfect!
Thank you for your help!@@novagnomecreations
How much yarn did you use in total?
I honestly have no idea because I used so many different yarns and did it over a period of time. If I had to give it a really rough guess I would say 8-10 skeins maybe, since it is double stranded. Just a guess though!
Yaaaaay TYSM!!
You are so welcome!! I hope it helps!
Greetings I not sure if I understood how to figure out my size for the hexagon
Hello! This video is me explaining how I modified this type of cardigan to fit me, but for actual tutorial purposes I would recommend the video I linked in the description box below the video, by Passionknit Kelsie. I hope that helps clarify!
A person could put a marker in the “reduced cluster stitch” to remind herself to skip over that cluster and NOT crochet into it.
About what size would you say your diagram is?
Roughly 54 inches I think
