I just know the people saying this bs are using all kinds of single use plastic but wanna have a go at someone they don’t know online over using acrylic yarn... as if people make a whole project out of it and then throw it away 🙄 like it’s not 100x better than buying from a fast fashion brand... nobody is finding patchwork cardigans in the ocean acrylic is fine 🙄 these people better be looking at where their wool is sourced from and making sure that’s sustainable too...
Yeah, I was a little concerned about your use of acrylic over wool, but I understand your point now. I would just like to say that I wouldn't really trust that site? As while it may be a good resource in a pinch they repeatedly cite 'PETA-approved vegan' as a qualification for items they're suggesting on their site and repeatedly link to other sites and articles that use PETA as a resource, which no self-respecting, trustworthy, environmentalist or animal-welfare supporting site or organisation would do. It may just be an oversight on their part, but PETA is known for misinformation, pseudoscience, and killing animals under their care for no good reason. They are quite literally famous for incredibly harmful practices and advice, and any advice from a source that cites them is automatically suspect, even if it's due to being misled. However, you're correct, there are issues with animal welfare in the wool industry, so I fully support your decision to look into different brands to see where their wool comes from and how it's produced before buying.
@@Ddalgiichigo The problem with acrylic doesn't only arise when throwing your clothes away though. When you wash acrylic garments, they release a ton of microplastics which are harmful for the environment. Arguably making clothes out of acrylic is still a lot better than buying fast fashion! And imo individual consumers shouldn't be judged for their environmental impact anyway. But the situation is a bit more complex than whether or not you throw your acrylic cardigan in the ocean.
I literally just found your page 10 minutes ago. I've NEVER looked on the explore page on youtube but decided to today and saw you on the creator rising thing! I liked your fall video but I plan on looking through the rest I was to switch up my style I love both feminine and street wear and cozy looks lol so I'm loving the channel so far :)
it is literally the most detailed guide lol. i love it a few days ago was thinking to renew my crochet skills from childhood and do this type of cardigan, and this is just gold totaly will follow it. you did such a goood job
TIP: If you're wondering how to get rid of the icky holes in your stitches, I recommend going against what you were originally told to do... "Yarn over" ew, try "yarn under" it gives a cleaner look and doesn't finish with a "holey" stitch. I hope this helps anyone who didn't know
i’ve been taking my time making this cardigan as an end of summer/early fall project, and it’s been such a rewarding and lovely way to spend my time before i go off to college!! i taught my mom and some friends how to crochet, so they’ve been making squares for me and it makes me so happy to see my little pile grow every day :) and to know that i’ll always have something people i love helped me make when i’m at college !! tysm for this
I've been making it too! And I've definitely been taking my time. I started 8 other projects while I was making this. But as of now I have 67 squares and I'm starting the bottom ribbing
Its taken me all of the half term but ive finally made this!!!!! Its the cutest most cozy thing ive made so far and i am so happy with it! Its a really good pattern that is definitely suitable for anyone, whether people have only just started crochet or have been doing it for years. Its probably the best thing ive made so far and will definitely be making more of your patterns in the future!
Your full crochet outfit videos made me want to make one and I’m almost 60 hours into the project, then I click this video and hear “I heard you want to make a patchwork cardigan” and get excited because I am following your first cardigan video for the instructions and this will make it so much easier 😌
I’ve been wanting to crochet tanjiro’s kimono since I started reading the manga years ago. I’ve never attempted a project bigger than a beanie before but the recent season’s release has inspired me to get started, hence why I am watching patchwork tutorials on RUclips. I never could have guessed how directly applicable some of what you said in this video would be when I clicked on it lmao. Best tutorial by far, and I’m hyped to see the project you teased
OKAY BUT The color change method has SAVED me so much time! Bless you for reminding me i can do that in a patchwork cardi!!! Absolutely ADORE your videos
I used to hate weaving my ends until I started using a metal tapestry needle instead. I'm telling you it was a game changer! It is so much smoother of a process and weirdly I kinda almost like doing it now. Almost lol. They are like $2 for a pack of 6 from DMC. You find them with the sewing needles normally
Thank you so much for taking the time AND CARE for providing such a detailed breakdown for how to crochet a patchwork cardigan. I stumbled across your video a year ago and just completed my very first cardigan. The way you organized each step with coordinating visuals was so insightful, and also just your approach to video has made this process so comforting. Thank you!!!!
Omg this tutorial was so in depth, I made a cardigan like this nd when I finished they had so many mistakes and I was confused. When I just saw yours I understood way more and took into consideration different things In the beginning that I never really thought about with my other cardigan. This was such a big help and I’ll make a new one soon with your tutorial tysm!!
Thank you for teaching the single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet so thoroughly. I haven't been able to find anyone who teaches it slowly and shows it well throughout the process. I was actually able to learn, so thank you a whole lot!
IM DONE!!! after a month of working I finally finished it!!! It’s not perfect but it’s my first project and I’m just happy to have a final product! Thank you for this amazing tutorial ❤❤❤
This is one of the best tutorials i've ever watched. I dont even plan on making this cardigan and I watched the whole way through, super thorough and detailed.
This is everything I would have wanted back when I began my patchwork cardigan oct 2020. It is almost everything I did and planned even down to the colors and stitchwork (I did double crochet red, half double crochet white and a variegated light to charcoal grey with alternating hdc and single crochet), and same red ribbing as well. I used the color change method, crocheting long panels saved me a ton of sewing. The only thing I did that I haven’t seen elsewhere was crochet a half square for each shoulder in between the front side panels and the back panels. Beautiful design and tutorial 🙌
Thank you so much, I just finished it today. It took me soooo much time (like 7 months lol but sometimes I wasn't motivated at all and just let it there and didn't touch it for several weeks) but the result turned out amazing ! Your explanations are so detailled and clear, everything was easy to understand and to do. Again thank you for making this video, now I have a nice patchwork cardigan I did myself💕
It took me entire day to make measurements and change sizes of squares to make it fit me (i used 10cm and yours are like 12,5), than like a month to crochet squares and saw front and back and still have to make sleeves but rn im starting ribbing part and im soooo proud of my work. Thank you for this tutorial ❤
As a person in 8th grade going to intensive math this was super hard for me to wrap my head around but aside from the math u made it So so sooooo simple to understand thank you :)
You are awesome. Thank you so much for the instructions. Clear and concise. I’m going to make a crocheted one and a knitted one. I must have watched 30 “how to videos”. Yours were, by far, the best informational videos.
This is the most detailed project ever! For now I've two polyester yarn that I'm making for blankets! (finger crochet for my first project since I don't have my tools right now) Will be trying this for my next project after I got my crochet tools/hook & acrylic yarn! So much appreciated thanks so much for this, look forward to your following crochet video! 😊👍
just finished mine! it took me literally AGES to finish it (i started it a year ago), but it came out cute. thanks for the guide, it was really helpful and had all the information needed. sending lots of love❤
Such a great tutorial! Love your comedy. One tip for securing the buttons: you could either use an embroidery (mouline) thread which is thicker, or double the sewing thread by taking twice the amount of thread needed and pulling the needle to the half-way point of it. Then, you can tie the ends into a knot thus creating a loop with the needle stuck inside. After passing through the button once normally, slip the needle through that loop hanging on the wrong side of the garment. Pull tight. No more escaping knots! (I really can’t explain in English, lol)
I’ve started assembling the cardigan along with pockets that I added to the design, and this tutorial has been a godsend. Thank you so much for making that first video or else idk where I’d be in my crochet journey
just started! i’ll update daily day 1 ✅: bought yarn+drew diagram day 2 ✅: finished square 1 and half of square 2 day 3 ✅: finished square 2, had to redo square 1 because it was the wrong size, started square 3
I usually never comment, but i wanted to say how much this video helped me. I started on a cardigan last year, and just finished it. (It took me a long time because I did it in between other projects) but this video helped me a lotttt❤
This video didnt miss a thing, so clear and so entertaining, litterly the perfect guide all packed into a 40 minute video and its so colourful and cute Amazing job you deserve more subscribers honestly. Be proud!!!!!!!!
I finally did it! Thank you so much for this video! It was so easy to follow along! I'm a beginner so this was really a challenge but I feel like i learnt so much and I had so much fun with it! My cardigan looks so good and I'm so happy with it. I ended up using a mix of granny squares and half double crochet stitch grids (sorry not quite sure what they're called) and it came out looking pretty eccentric and out there but really really pretty. It took me maybe 3 weeks to do it, most of the time obviously went towards making the patches but it really didn't take as long as I thought it would.
i'm making a sweater out of granny squares, after overwhelming my mom with questions (she's been crocheting for like 2 years now and made a cardigan to my cousin), she told me that if i had watched a video on how to make a cardigan, and this helps A LOT, i'm still improvising the hell out of this for it to be a sweater and not a cardigan, but this is quite helpful
the amount of detail in this video is incredible, I can't imagine the amount of work you put into this!! I have quite literally all of the information I need to start my cardigan, thank you sm
i found this and was amazed, you tell what you're doing in detail and you don't skip over, you even showed what the stitches you mentioned looked like, which is awesome!
I love your sweater. It is the best explanations and instructions I have ever seen. Plus I also like the fact that you did not snub acrylic yarn. I am a vegan and use acrylic mostly for that reason, the economy and the long lasting durability. I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you, it was delightful watching you.
I've been looking for patchwork cardigan tutorials recently so this is so helpful! So excited to make one of my own 😁 I was wondering how long it took you to complete this cardigan?
I just spent a month and a half making this pretty much on point to this video I’ve wanted to make this cardigan for a while now and I’m so happy that I actually did it thank you for the free tutorial 💙
I'm just gonna say I seriously appreciate this tutorial I started this project in October and a know nothing beginner there were a few tears shed making this but I finally finished it in February and it works so well totally recommend knowing some crochet before starting this or you may make to toss a few practice squares lol
I have a few tricks for making biggish thread knots! When sewing with one strand with a knot at the bottom (vs.knotting the two ends together) Method 1: is to create the initial knot loop (lil pretzel), but instead of pulling the knot tight right away, keep it and thread the end through the loop a few more times. Once I’ve looped it 3-4 times I usually pull it tight and it makes a bigger knot for ya. Method 2: Another trick is to use the same method as creating a French knot in embroidery. Thread your needle and then pick which end you want your knot on. Then holding the needle pointing up in one hand and the loose thread end pointing down in the other, bring them side by side. Then I pinch the loose thread end and the needle together (the thread end should be near the eye of the needle and the length should run up along the needle and back around to the eye). Now holding the needle + thread pinched together in one hand, pinch the length of thread a few centimetres from the tip of the needle and start twisting the needle tip around the thread (basically holding the length of thread steady and circling the needle around the thread. The thread pinched near the eye of the needle serves to anchor the thread). After creating several twists/loops around the needle (usually 4ish), pinch both the top piece of thread and bottom (near the needle eye) together in one hand and gently push/pull the needle through all the loops. Don’t let go of the threads until you have pulled all the thread through and then you should have a nice chunky knot at the bottom. When sewing with doubled up thread / thread you want to knot both loose ends together: Method: Thread the needle and knot the two strands together as usual. This should leave you with a loop of thread with a needle on it. Then take the item you are sewing and make a small stitch, but instead of pulling the thread all the way through so the knot lands on the material, pull your needle most of the way, but hang on to the knot so you have about an inch still sticking out. Then pass your needle through the little bit of looped thread by the knot and pull the needle to tighten the knot against the fabric. This way you don’t have to worry about a tiny knot passing through a bigger weave of material because it is basically tied to the material now.
tbh i have watched all of the guides but nothing beats this guide your voice, the way you explain and how you included everything…really makes this the ultimate guide i love this and i will be following…wish me luck 🌿
You are literally so amazing! I just found your page and I already feel suuuuper confident with my crocheting skills! Seriously you deserve an award for how detailed this guide is!💕💕
I found ur page a day ago & I love ur crochet tuts!! I've always wanted a custom cardigan so this tutorial appeared to me in the perfect timing as I'm now getting into crochet ❤
Hey! So this might be a bit weird, but I just wanted to say that I was so surprised when I watched the video and saw your dog just chilling on your project since my dog looks exactly the same and loves to just sleep on my own projects too! Loved the video btw, it's so detailed, and that color change method you used is so clever. ❤
after two years of procrastinating, I finally finished my sweater. my first attempt, I made all the squares way too small because i did a small brain move, so I gave up for a year. this attempt I made all the squares way too big and the sweater ended up super oversized. so I begrudgingly removed a row from the back and reattached everything. the sweater's a bit wonky and the color pattern is a bit off in some places, but I'm super happy with it since it's my second piece of clothing I crocheted and the first piece that I'll actually might wear. my sanity is dead.
As a tip for sewing the buttons on (35:48), I like to double up my thread. Aka: pull the thread through the needle and fold it in half. Let the needle rest at the middle of the thread halves and then knot them together. Then you have a giant loop of thread. Your thread is guaranteed not to come loose from the needle. And you can also ensure that first knot never pulls out either. Instead of knotting the thread so many times, pull the first stitch through but not all the way. Leave some room before the end of the knot. Make your first stitch and then pass your needle through the knotted halves of the thread. So you’ve created a loop with the button (or whatever) inside it. Even if the knot pulls through the fabric some day, it’ll still all be connected and won’t fall apart. Hope that made sense!
Currently on vacation, when I get back I am 100% making this. I am a beginner, and can only make small 2D butterflies. But the way you taught, I know I can do it!
I’m making the folklore cardigan rn as my first cardigan and I wanna make a patchwork cardigan or a cardigan similar to you fall knit cardigan. Idk, I’ll eventually make those, but I want another project to do this summer. This video’s great!
I started crocheting on and off over the years but I never really crocheted anything, so now I am starting doing it again and I had an idea of what I wanted to do. I think your video is really helpful. Really, before I started crocheting again, I had started sewing. I never really liked sewing on buttons but sometimes you gotta do it. I don't know if this counts as a tip but.. Tip: When you thread the needle, don't tie it because when you do it can become a pain to cut it off. if you don't tie it off, it can pile there and become annoying. i would just leave the tail hanging or tie the tail in with the thread because then the thread is double the thickness. You can learn how to hold on to the thread while sewing, and it won't unthread. That's what I just do. 🙂
Amazing tutorial! I love how you show every step so even beginner could do that. I am in the process of making the HS kinda cardigan but I wanted to change a few colors and now I don't like it ugh. I had to rip all the stitches and do it all over again. In conclusion, do what people in the tutorials say, they know better😂
I am in love with how your cardigan came out! I am 13 and you are such a big inspiration for me to start crocheting things other than granny squares. I love the way the colors work together and the thought you put in to making the videos easy to follow. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Hi! Thanks for this very detailed guide! I've watched this over 10 times now and I'm just a lil confused on how you joined the wristband with the patches since the two didn't match in stitch count. Thanks!
I'd try smaller projects for a few months first if I were you... this project looks like you might be done with it in a weekend but trust me it's a serious commitment and you might get bored with it soon
Love this video! Helped me a lot, thank you 🥰🤗 a tip for that tedious inworking of the leftover yarn strands is that instead of waiting till the last step to sew them in, crochet them in whilst crocheting two squares together. It saves so much time and makes it look much cleaner in the end 🤗🤗
i was also thinking of making a tanjiro cardigan!! will definitely try this out after my current project. thanks so much for this tutorial, would love to see how yours turned out :D
I just wanna say thank you so much for this video its so deatiled!!! :D I saw your crochet fall cardigan a few years ago but was such a beginner I was scared to even try to make it. Its been two weeks since I first started crocheting my cardigan and its turned out beautiful so thank you so much!!!! :D
I DID IT!! I DID IT!! I used a knitting loom and made big rectangles and followed your sewing to put it together. I crocheted an edge around it all and decided no buttons or belt for this one and just leaving it open. THE SWEATER IS SO GOOD I DON'T WANNA GIFT IT TO WHO I MADE IT FOR I so appreciate your videos and time teaching us. This is a knitting life goal achieved.
i have never done crochet before yet i'm here watching this long video because it's just so good and loved the way you presented every guidelines for beginners. may try one soon. thankyou so much and keep going
IM LITERALLY ABOUT TO START MY CARDIGAN SO ILL UPDATE YOU EACH DAY Day 1: I found this video and was excited to make it, I made the design for my cardigan and I’m using similar colors to you bc I love the color red but mine is a bit different, I have 80 squares to make Day 2: I was in the car all day, however, I got to practice making squares Day 3 goal: hopefully the day I get my yarn What actually happened: I did get my yarn and I’m trying to adjust because it’s a bit thinner than the yarn I practiced with *UPDATE just found out I have art camp through day 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 so I’m probably gonna end up finishing in a month* *I hope to have it done by August 9th because I’m going on vacation and 1. I don’t wanna leave the unfinished work while I’m gone and 2. I want to bring it with me on the trip* Day 4 goal: my goal is do have at least 15-20 squares done What actually happened: I did not get 15-20 squares done but I did get one of the arm cuffs done so that’s good Day 5 goal: I hope to be done with about 40-45 squares if possible What actually happened: Day 6 goal: I really hope I have 60 done by this day What actually happened: Day 7 goal: I hope I’m done with all 72 squares however I may make 80 What actually happened: Day 8 goal: I hope I have finished sewing all the squares in each panel What actually happened: Day 9 goal: I hope that I have all the panels + arms sewn together What actually happened: Day 10 goal: I hope I finish the button band and sewing on the ribbon What actually happened: *I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MY PLANS ARE THAT WEEK SO WISH ME LUCK*
Since my comment got liked and I don’t want to ruin that I’m gonna update here! Day 5 (What actually happened): I got one square done lol and I’m still working
You are amazing for this breakdown. Thank you so much. I started squares for a cardigan a while ago and never finished and this video made me realize I can actually change those squares into whatever I want. I'm gonna make a granny square dress instead.
3 months later and lots of mistakes later Im finally done ohhh my god there were lots of blood sweat and tears into this thing and it’s the warmest thing ever thank you so much for the tutorial !!
Oml I've been looking for a video like this, but I could never find one interesting/short enough! This one is perfect tho, it keeps my interest and is detailed but not entirely long!! :D
You know what, with a bit of motivation I might even try and knit one. I like patchwork and want a large but easily broken down project to do so this seems great! And seeing another beginner try something like this motivates me too
Hey! Amazing video, very well detailed and I’m so excited to get started! But, I was really confused about the measurements. I was analyzing the measurements you wrote down, and was a bit confused on how you got those numbers? What were your body measurements versus the measurements you listed for your cardigan? I just wanted to make sure I measured mine correctly before starting. Thank you!!
so, for the cardigan measurements, I measured an oversized cardigan I already owned and wanted this patchwork one to be oversized as well. So my shoulders are 15 inches, but I made the back panel for the cardigan 30 inches so it can be oversized :) You can make it exactly to your body measurement so it can be fitted if you'd like :)
Ive been wanting to make my own crochet cardigan for absolutely ages but never got around to it. Your video inspired me so much and the tutorial is so detailed. soooo yesterday I finally went out and bought the yarn and am currently making all the squares!! thank you so much for the wonderful content you put out
❤THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!❤This is the best tutorial I have found for making a patchwork sweater. I've been looking for something like this to use my scrap yarn.

I was planning on making a Tanjiro cardigan for my partner, because they love long cardigans and Demon Slayer. This was so helpful!! 🥰
As a person in 8th grade going to intensive math this was super hard for me to wrap my head around but aside from the math u made it So so sooooo simple to understand thank you :)
You are awesome. Thank you so much for the instructions. Clear and concise. I’m going to make a crocheted one and a knitted one. I must have watched 30 “how to videos”. Yours were, by far, the best informational videos.
This is the most detailed project ever! For now I've two polyester yarn that I'm making for blankets! (finger crochet for my first project since I don't have my tools right now) Will be trying this for my next project after I got my crochet tools/hook & acrylic yarn! So much appreciated thanks so much for this, look forward to your following crochet video! 😊👍
just finished mine! it took me literally AGES to finish it (i started it a year ago), but it came out cute. thanks for the guide, it was really helpful and had all the information needed. sending lots of love❤
omg same!!!! Just finished mine after starting a year ago and fucking OVER THE MOON
Such a great tutorial! Love your comedy. One tip for securing the buttons: you could either use an embroidery (mouline) thread which is thicker, or double the sewing thread by taking twice the amount of thread needed and pulling the needle to the half-way point of it. Then, you can tie the ends into a knot thus creating a loop with the needle stuck inside. After passing through the button once normally, slip the needle through that loop hanging on the wrong side of the garment. Pull tight. No more escaping knots! (I really can’t explain in English, lol)
thank you for the tip! i actually have a ton of embroidery thread just sitting in my closet so that’ll make use of it!
I’ve started assembling the cardigan along with pockets that I added to the design, and this tutorial has been a godsend. Thank you so much for making that first video or else idk where I’d be in my crochet journey
just started! i’ll update daily
day 1 ✅: bought yarn+drew diagram
day 2 ✅: finished square 1 and half of square 2
day 3 ✅: finished square 2, had to redo square 1 because it was the wrong size, started square 3
Good luck! I’m currently working on mine too :)
well?
How far please?
Welp
Bro worked for 3 days and dropped the project 😭
I usually never comment, but i wanted to say how much this video helped me. I started on a cardigan last year, and just finished it. (It took me a long time because I did it in between other projects) but this video helped me a lotttt❤
This video didnt miss a thing, so clear and so entertaining, litterly the perfect guide all packed into a 40 minute video and its so colourful and cute Amazing job you deserve more subscribers honestly. Be proud!!!!!!!!
You seem like literally the most generous, kindhearted and sincere person in this platform. Truly. Bless your soul!
thank you so much omg you're so sweet 🥺
I finally did it! Thank you so much for this video! It was so easy to follow along! I'm a beginner so this was really a challenge but I feel like i learnt so much and I had so much fun with it! My cardigan looks so good and I'm so happy with it. I ended up using a mix of granny squares and half double crochet stitch grids (sorry not quite sure what they're called) and it came out looking pretty eccentric and out there but really really pretty. It took me maybe 3 weeks to do it, most of the time obviously went towards making the patches but it really didn't take as long as I thought it would.
can ik the lenght of the yarn u used in metres for each color or in total
i'm making a sweater out of granny squares, after overwhelming my mom with questions (she's been crocheting for like 2 years now and made a cardigan to my cousin), she told me that if i had watched a video on how to make a cardigan, and this helps A LOT, i'm still improvising the hell out of this for it to be a sweater and not a cardigan, but this is quite helpful
the amount of detail in this video is incredible, I can't imagine the amount of work you put into this!! I have quite literally all of the information I need to start my cardigan, thank you sm
i found this and was amazed, you tell what you're doing in detail and you don't skip over, you even showed what the stitches you mentioned looked like, which is awesome!
I love your sweater. It is the best explanations and instructions I have ever seen. Plus I also like the fact that you did not snub acrylic yarn. I am a vegan and use acrylic mostly for that reason, the economy and the long lasting durability. I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you, it was delightful watching you.
Absolutely love how every single thing is so detailed good work .
I’m starting on the 11 of august, at 6:00 pm ( we’ll 4:35 but I’ve tried so many times ) I’ll come back when I’m finished
I love the song choice, was like meditating on Gods good promises whilst crocheting. So so goood ❤
I've been looking for patchwork cardigan tutorials recently so this is so helpful! So excited to make one of my own 😁 I was wondering how long it took you to complete this cardigan?
for this one, it took me 40-50 hours, or 15 days, which was 10x faster than the first one i did which was 70+ hours, or 20 days
🎉
@@ikoxun how many hours a day did u spend working on it?
Girllll, your voice, your sharings, your knowledge are inspiring. Thank you for sharing this in details XD
Love the method of measuring another clothing item of the size you want. Perfect!!!
I just spent a month and a half making this pretty much on point to this video I’ve wanted to make this cardigan for a while now and I’m so happy that I actually did it thank you for the free tutorial 💙
I'm just gonna say I seriously appreciate this tutorial I started this project in October and a know nothing beginner there were a few tears shed making this but I finally finished it in February and it works so well totally recommend knowing some crochet before starting this or you may make to toss a few practice squares lol
I just finish making my cardigan, thanks to you and your tutorial !!
It's was so fun as beginner myself that I will crochet more in the future
🤎🤎🤎
How much time did it take
How much yarn did you use?
I love how you included every detail of the planning process! This was an incredibly helpful guide
Finally! After six months I finished my own cardigan! Thank you so much, your video was so helpful and the cardigan turned out great!!😭❤️
Plis lemme know how much grams of yarn you used
I have a few tricks for making biggish thread knots!
When sewing with one strand with a knot at the bottom (vs.knotting the two ends together)
Method 1: is to create the initial knot loop (lil pretzel), but instead of pulling the knot tight right away, keep it and thread the end through the loop a few more times. Once I’ve looped it 3-4 times I usually pull it tight and it makes a bigger knot for ya.
Method 2: Another trick is to use the same method as creating a French knot in embroidery. Thread your needle and then pick which end you want your knot on. Then holding the needle pointing up in one hand and the loose thread end pointing down in the other, bring them side by side. Then I pinch the loose thread end and the needle together (the thread end should be near the eye of the needle and the length should run up along the needle and back around to the eye). Now holding the needle + thread pinched together in one hand, pinch the length of thread a few centimetres from the tip of the needle and start twisting the needle tip around the thread (basically holding the length of thread steady and circling the needle around the thread. The thread pinched near the eye of the needle serves to anchor the thread). After creating several twists/loops around the needle (usually 4ish), pinch both the top piece of thread and bottom (near the needle eye) together in one hand and gently push/pull the needle through all the loops. Don’t let go of the threads until you have pulled all the thread through and then you should have a nice chunky knot at the bottom.
When sewing with doubled up thread / thread you want to knot both loose ends together:
Method: Thread the needle and knot the two strands together as usual. This should leave you with a loop of thread with a needle on it. Then take the item you are sewing and make a small stitch, but instead of pulling the thread all the way through so the knot lands on the material, pull your needle most of the way, but hang on to the knot so you have about an inch still sticking out. Then pass your needle through the little bit of looped thread by the knot and pull the needle to tighten the knot against the fabric. This way you don’t have to worry about a tiny knot passing through a bigger weave of material because it is basically tied to the material now.
WOW i’m screenshotting this information, thank you!!
tbh i have watched all of the guides but nothing beats this guide your voice, the way you explain and how you included everything…really makes this the ultimate guide i love this and i will be following…wish me luck 🌿
good luck!!
@@ikoxun thank you!!
You are literally so amazing! I just found your page and I already feel suuuuper confident with my crocheting skills! Seriously you deserve an award for how detailed this guide is!💕💕
I found ur page a day ago & I love ur crochet tuts!! I've always wanted a custom cardigan so this tutorial appeared to me in the perfect timing as I'm now getting into crochet ❤
I love how you basically teach us all the tips to make our own design thank you so much!!
Hey! So this might be a bit weird, but I just wanted to say that I was so surprised when I watched the video and saw your dog just chilling on your project since my dog looks exactly the same and loves to just sleep on my own projects too! Loved the video btw, it's so detailed, and that color change method you used is so clever. ❤
after two years of procrastinating, I finally finished my sweater. my first attempt, I made all the squares way too small because i did a small brain move, so I gave up for a year. this attempt I made all the squares way too big and the sweater ended up super oversized. so I begrudgingly removed a row from the back and reattached everything. the sweater's a bit wonky and the color pattern is a bit off in some places, but I'm super happy with it since it's my second piece of clothing I crocheted and the first piece that I'll actually might wear. my sanity is dead.
As a tip for sewing the buttons on (35:48), I like to double up my thread. Aka: pull the thread through the needle and fold it in half. Let the needle rest at the middle of the thread halves and then knot them together. Then you have a giant loop of thread. Your thread is guaranteed not to come loose from the needle. And you can also ensure that first knot never pulls out either. Instead of knotting the thread so many times, pull the first stitch through but not all the way. Leave some room before the end of the knot. Make your first stitch and then pass your needle through the knotted halves of the thread. So you’ve created a loop with the button (or whatever) inside it. Even if the knot pulls through the fabric some day, it’ll still all be connected and won’t fall apart. Hope that made sense!
Currently on vacation, when I get back I am 100% making this. I am a beginner, and can only make small 2D butterflies. But the way you taught, I know I can do it!
I just keep coming back for the warm fuzzy feeling your videos give
I’m trying to make the harry cardigan and I’ve watch so so many videos but this has been the most helpful and clear yet! Thank u so much ❤️🩹
I’m so excited I’m already done with one arm working on the other one today!
I’m making the folklore cardigan rn as my first cardigan and I wanna make a patchwork cardigan or a cardigan similar to you fall knit cardigan. Idk, I’ll eventually make those, but I want another project to do this summer. This video’s great!
I started crocheting on and off over the years but I never really crocheted anything, so now I am starting doing it again and I had an idea of what I wanted to do. I think your video is really helpful.
Really, before I started crocheting again, I had started sewing. I never really liked sewing on buttons but sometimes you gotta do it. I don't know if this counts as a tip but..
Tip: When you thread the needle, don't tie it because when you do it can become a pain to cut it off. if you don't tie it off, it can pile there and become annoying. i would just leave the tail hanging or tie the tail in with the thread because then the thread is double the thickness.
You can learn how to hold on to the thread while sewing, and it won't unthread.
That's what I just do.
🙂
Amazing tutorial! I love how you show every step so even beginner could do that. I am in the process of making the HS kinda cardigan but I wanted to change a few colors and now I don't like it ugh. I had to rip all the stitches and do it all over again. In conclusion, do what people in the tutorials say, they know better😂
I am in love with how your cardigan came out! I am 13 and you are such a big inspiration for me to start crocheting things other than granny squares. I love the way the colors work together and the thought you put in to making the videos easy to follow. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Hi! Thanks for this very detailed guide! I've watched this over 10 times now and I'm just a lil confused on how you joined the wristband with the patches since the two didn't match in stitch count. Thanks!
I just picked up crocheting from my Tia and am currently working on a pair of fingerless gloves. When I’m done I’m trying this no doubt 😭💕
I'd try smaller projects for a few months first if I were you... this project looks like you might be done with it in a weekend but trust me it's a serious commitment and you might get bored with it soon
Thank you so much for this, a few days ago I saw your video of the other Cardigan and thanks to that I actually started croching, thank you:)
And with that - ON MY WAY TO THE YARN STORE ✨♥️
What a great in depth tutorial, I love that it's so thorough!
Love this video! Helped me a lot, thank you 🥰🤗 a tip for that tedious inworking of the leftover yarn strands is that instead of waiting till the last step to sew them in, crochet them in whilst crocheting two squares together. It saves so much time and makes it look much cleaner in the end 🤗🤗
i was also thinking of making a tanjiro cardigan!! will definitely try this out after my current project. thanks so much for this tutorial, would love to see how yours turned out :D
She also made a recreation in a video it might help
I just wanna say thank you so much for this video its so deatiled!!! :D I saw your crochet fall cardigan a few years ago but was such a beginner I was scared to even try to make it.
Its been two weeks since I first started crocheting my cardigan and its turned out beautiful so thank you so much!!!! :D
oh my goodness, i’ve just found your channel and am completely in love w these videos
You cover everything I was anxious about and now I really think I can do this.
Thank you. Your format and pacing of your video was perfecto
I DID IT!! I DID IT!!
I used a knitting loom and made big rectangles and followed your sewing to put it together. I crocheted an edge around it all and decided no buttons or belt for this one and just leaving it open.
THE SWEATER IS SO GOOD I DON'T WANNA GIFT IT TO WHO I MADE IT FOR
I so appreciate your videos and time teaching us. This is a knitting life goal achieved.
I WONT GIVE UP
Keep going zuko! I finished mine after starting it almost a YEAR ago, and it was so worth it!
The wand in the beggining was so unexpected lol. This tutorial helped me in more ways than I expected, thank you!
Congrats on being RUclipss Creator On The Rise 💫
thank you! I appreciate it :)
i have never done crochet before yet i'm here watching this long video because it's just so good and loved the way you presented every guidelines for beginners. may try one soon. thankyou so much and keep going

@@LMN-tl8bv Oo
how did it go?
This is the best tutorial, thank you so much. I already figured out my own cardigan but i wish i followed your tutorial from the beginning
As a beginner, this was great! You explain everything really well :) thank you for making this!!
I love, love love, this I really appreciate the simplicity. You are such a great teacher.
Your videos are so inspiring and so relaxing to watch :) I definitely wanna start knitting sweaters and cardigans now
You are amazing for this breakdown. Thank you so much. I started squares for a cardigan a while ago and never finished and this video made me realize I can actually change those squares into whatever I want. I'm gonna make a granny square dress instead.
3 months later and lots of mistakes later Im finally done ohhh my god there were lots of blood sweat and tears into this thing and it’s the warmest thing ever thank you so much for the tutorial !!
ahh yay! I'm so happy you stuck it through and completed it!!
Last month I just finished crocheting this same cardigan, but just based on pictures. This tutorial would have been so perfect! Yours turned out great
yes I recently just found out as well and it saves you so much time!!
Thank you so much for teaching me how to sew on the stupid sleeves. I almost went crazy figuring it out by myself ❤
Thank you so muchh! I saw the one you made just last week and i immediately wanted my own so this will be very helpful 💖
Oml I've been looking for a video like this, but I could never find one interesting/short enough! This one is perfect tho, it keeps my interest and is detailed but not entirely long!! :D
I loved the jacket, could you teach us how to sew more clearly because your explanation is very wonderful☺️
yes! I apologies about that, in my next video I'll have a little clip on how to sew properly~
HER ENERGY IS EVERYTHING
Love the colors!!
You know what, with a bit of motivation I might even try and knit one. I like patchwork and want a large but easily broken down project to do so this seems great! And seeing another beginner try something like this motivates me too
good luck :)
Hey! Amazing video, very well detailed and I’m so excited to get started! But, I was really confused about the measurements. I was analyzing the measurements you wrote down, and was a bit confused on how you got those numbers? What were your body measurements versus the measurements you listed for your cardigan? I just wanted to make sure I measured mine correctly before starting. Thank you!!
so, for the cardigan measurements, I measured an oversized cardigan I already owned and wanted this patchwork one to be oversized as well. So my shoulders are 15 inches, but I made the back panel for the cardigan 30 inches so it can be oversized :) You can make it exactly to your body measurement so it can be fitted if you'd like :)
Ive been wanting to make my own crochet cardigan for absolutely ages but never got around to it. Your video inspired me so much and the tutorial is so detailed. soooo yesterday I finally went out and bought the yarn and am currently making all the squares!! thank you so much for the wonderful content you put out
This is beautiful 😍 I’m so inspired to start crocheting again. How many balls of yarn did you use for this project in total? I want to recreate this
nine balls in total! (2 for each color except red which had 3)
❤THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!❤This is the best tutorial I have found for making a patchwork sweater. I've been looking for something like this to use my scrap yarn.
