- Hi Everyone! I've wanted to make one of these for a while! I'll tell you about my mixed up pattern ideas. Hope you enjoy! I'd like to make another so let me know if you made one and how it went. Have a great day!
We are the worst critics of our work , I know because I do it all the time! Nobody sees what we do in a project because they can't know what our vision originally was, they only see a fine finished product and love it! Be proud of yourself and I think you did a remarkable job on the decrease of the sleeves, thanks for sharing 😊❤
Hi zanity! Thank you so much for you kind words! You are so right that nobody else knows what we were doing. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your hexicardigan adventure. I love the way it turned out and the colour is beautiful. Keep being brave, lol
Thank you, Stacey! :)
Beautiful! Crochet is fun because it isn't perfect, and we don't have to make things perfect, just to our own liking... that's what it's all about. Love all the colors.
Yes, Lee! I say that all the time about crochet. Love it. Thank you!
Okay, I love it and find nothing wrong with it. Find a similar fiber and weight and put a cream color where you want extra width (front closure area). Match the stitch with what you used for the wrists, or make it granny. Then use leftover scraps to edge it allllll the way around to bring back cohesive color. Make button holes on one side to give purpose to the cream edging. If you wanna hide the single crochet row, you can crochet along the stitch itself to add a "flare" that goes around the width of the cardigan. This might add more design, but you can also use the same stitch at the very bottom edge around your hip and then around the wrists. It would becflirty, fun, and unique. You can also frog the edgings you don't like and use slip stitching. There's always room to change up a completed project. Have fun with it and don't overthink it.
Find a matching color, add in the back seam so that it looks natural. Just start to add just above the waist down to the hips.
Hi Maria~ You have got some great suggestions here!! And I super appreciate the encouragement! Others reading it can benefit as well. Thank you!
That is next on my to do list. Just need to pick out the right yarn. Thanks for your tips.
Hi Cynthia! You'll have to let us know how it goes! Thanks!
Beautiful color way!!! Bravo for for your courage to try something new& even better you're happy with your results. Thank you Amy,for sharing your project, it's really pretty & pretty darn cool!
Thank you, Sharon. I appreciate it!
Your sweater is so pretty don’t worry about it. Most people don’t know the little things anyway. All they see is something beautiful and that is you. Have a blessed day.
Aw, Brenda, what a sweat heart! Thank you.
Hi Amy. I'm looking for that right pattern and came across this vid. I love how the cardi turned out!
Hi Lucie! That is awesome to hear! Be sure to let us know how it goes! Thank you!
Amy the cardigan looks amazing!💜
Hi Rose! Thank you so much!
Your sweater came out beautiful!!! I love to hear your perspective on how you make your projects, including what you feel your challenges are. Thank you!
Thanks Nelly. I figure why not be honest about what works and what doesn't. None of us are "the only one".
I made my hexi in the blossom cake. Thanks for your insights
Hi Deb! Those blossom cakes are so lovely! Thank you!
Love your Cardigan! I like that colorway too. Thank you for sharing how you made it because I want to make one also. I felt the same way as you, liking parts of one pattern but not wanting to make mine like sleeve and cuff. I haven't been brave enough to try. You're helping us so much explaining the steps and showing those details. I'm a fan of lots of colors too so I totally understand.
Hi Diana! It's always good to hear that others are thinking like we do whether its about the good stuff or the challenging. Thank you!
Amy, first of all, great hexi cardi! Pretty colors and good job. I think you arrived to the right conclusion for the future, to stick wth one pattern and make slight modifications on it. Or, another way of going about it is doing one or even two patterns as they are, 100%. After doing that, you can make decisions about what yu like or dislike about each one and then sit down and plan ahead of time how you would like it to be constructed for yourself and go from there.
Another tip, if you are looking for an ombre look but are frustrated with the way cakes work up, "make" your own, by using thinner yarns in the colors of your choice and blending them up to create the result you're after. I hope it's helpful.
You always give such great advise and tips. Thank you Sigal! Mixing thinner yarns is a great idea too! I love my 2 strand blankets, why wouldn't I think to do that with a top? It is helpful, thanks!
@@amyluvscrochet6140 awww... thanks for your kind words Amy! We can't think about everything all of the time. Lol... Sometimes we need someone else to switch that bulb above our head... Glad to help!
I always enjoy listening to your thought process behind your projects. It helps me make decisions about mine.
I'm so glad to hear that, KK. Sometimes I think I ramble, but I'm afraid to leave something out. :)
@@amyluvscrochet6140 I like rambling!
❤I love the sweater. I think you are the only one who sees imperfections. It looks really good & warm. ❤Thanks for the video❤
Thanks SherryNan! I appreciate the love!
Looks really cute
I appreciate it, Nysi! Thank you!
I LOVE your cardigan. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you so much, Sherrie!
That color is without a doubt my favorite!!!
Thanks, Sherrie! I love it too!
I love the colors, you did a great job.
Hi Kim! Thank you!
I think it is really cute
Hi Carmon. Thank you!
The colors are gorgeous and I think it looks great on you!
Thank you so much, Daryl! :)
Regardless it's absolutely practical and beautiful you did a great job
Thank you so much, Kimm!
Amy I love the colorway you chose and the cardi looks so good. I admire you taking initiative to change things up. I think you did a great job on it.
Hi Arlyce! Thank you so much.
I love, love, love it! I've been wanting to make one - you're inspiring me!
Yay! That's why I'm here, to show if I can, you can too! Thank you so much for your comment!
Very pretty, love the colors, 😊
Thank you, Kathi!
I like it.yes it could have been larger in the front but I think you are the only one who's concerned
Wear a complementary top and you'll be cute 😊
Thank you, Mary. I appreciate it!!
Your's turned out so cute! I started a hexi-cardigan with light cotton cakes. It got to where I should have finished it but wanted to use the rest of the yarn in the cake...so I did, and without trying it on finished it complete with lace edging. It's HUGE. Now I have to either unravel the whole thing or figure out how to sew it up so it fits 😞
Awww, that is a lot of work Kimberly, sorry to hear it. I've worked a cake through to the next color and ended up with a giant infinity scarf, like massive. Some learning experiences are more painful than others, but don't lose sight that you learned from it. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Thanks.
@@amyluvscrochet6140 Thanks...Big Hugs!👍💖
You did a great job on the hexi! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Valerie!!!
I think it is Great and very well done ❤
Thank you JoAnn!
Hi Amy! Absolutely love the color way! I agree with you about that seam. Probably best if it would have been on the inside. However, it is a beautiful cardigan. I love watching your journey, it encourages and inspires me in my journey. Much love 💗 TTFN
Hey Jessy! Hearing that I encourage, inspire, motivate others just makes me so happy! Thank you!
How beautiful!
Thanks, Pat!
I think you did a nighty fine job. Im having trouble with a V stitch, granny shell sleeves decrease. Gurrrlll you would cring if you saw the mess i am making. I have no clue, but i keep trying
YES! Stick with it, Michelle. Don't let it get the best of you. And just like I'm always told not to be so hard on myself, I'd say the same to you. It's not a mess, it's a potential path to perfection. haha xo
I always change something when making things
Kinda gives that one of a kind feeling, right? I love to 'make it my own.' Thanks!
Miss Amy, are you a perfectionist??? For me, i was born in an alcoholic house with multiple spouses. I never learned that my patterns were good enough. I fought to strive to make them perfect. I was NEVER good enough. Allow yourself to be human. Please know that God doesn't make junk!!
My favorite quote of the day, week, month..... God doesn't make junk. Amen. You guys are making me better in this perfectionist hole I'm in. I am relaxing, thanks for the reminder Sherri!!
Thats beautiful where is the pattern for this?
Hi Rose! This was a blend of many different patterns, and some parts I just created as I went. But there are many different tutorials on You Tube if you just look up Hexi Cardigan. Thank you.
How would you have added more to the tummy area?
Hi Barbara. Just by adding more rows to the lapels of each side, like along where buttons would go.
@@amyluvscrochet6140 oh, I am the worse one to do anything with crochet directions! I've been crocheting for 41 years and still can't follow many of them.
It looks good. Just consider it a tester. I’m working on one right now…..thanks for the tips.🧶. The one I’m working on is by passionknit kelsie, it’s a no sew cardi.
Hi Jeryl! I just love a 'no sew' item!! Let me know how yours goes!! Thank you!
