Very pretty and simple sweater. Thank you for the tutorial and the guide measurements! 😉

[@Karina-jm2oe]

I liked that you tried it on. It really helps to see how weird it looks as a work in progress. Thanks!

[@michellegaleher5951]

Thanks to you, im working on my sweater like this one. my is to be white on the top and sleeves . Purple and red on the body. Thanks for sharing!

[@elayneepperson1]

I made it and because I am much smaller than I used to be although my arms are still from my bigger self, I added more than four stitches under the arm and then continued making the body, found out it was looking very bad that way soooo frogged the whole thing and started over of course and now am putting on the arms and will do the bands on the arms and bottom and at the neck too as its too big as is. Customize well yes I am learning thanks to you of course.

[@virginiaclough5128]

I LOVE your videos----(though I knit more than I crochet)-----they make so very easy to follow ---(and I am MUCH larger than you--so learning how to alter a pattern is necessary)..... thank you :D

[@Mrgreen1110]

This have given the most awesome idea...but when will I have the time to create it....I hate being an adult

[@CrochetwithClare]

Me too !! Can we just crochet all day ? :)

[@MsMatador7]

UGH, I feel your pain...I had to pull out 5 rows; not because I didn't put in my increases...I was watching TV, really getting into a good rhythm with my hook, and just kept on crocheting like I was making a sweater for an elephant, LOL...

[@thepattersons9397]

love the colors

[@sharongodbout9014]

I do feel your pain!!! ( if you throw the ball of wool against the wall a couple of times it makes you feel better! LOL!!! :) We call it a pullover in Canada eh!

[@rebeccesaunders1873]

just for reference I'm an aus size 18-20 and I added 16 chains under the arm and it's pretty comfy there~ ^^

[@carladejaeger6077]

[@diannedesroches2672]

I love this sweater,but have spent 2 hours trying to figure out the change of color at 2 different sides.I guess its just me,I need to see the complete video of the change coming around.I am just visual I guess.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Dianne, are you doing it different to the video ? I am not too sure what you are talking about, are you using the main colour and a contrast colour ? Or are you trying to add a third colour ?

[@magicalcrocheting5171]

I tried to make the bust bigger but when I got to the size I wanted it wasn't lining up to the corners to start the tummy part...

[@packofwolves3576]

To answer your question on how it would be called where one lives... Over here it would be a "Trui" cause I live in the Netherlands. So here we know it as trui... but we also use the word sweater although not when it is knitted or crocheted...

[@francislair8672]

I Enjoy your video. I am looking for a superman crochet pattern my daughter seen one and wants me to make it if you have seen one could you do a video on it. Thank you

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Francis Lair Hello, sorry I have not got a any superman tutorials, I am not doing any items that are copyrighted

[@وحيدةلينة]

very nice thank you

[@pillarofclouds77]

Hello! Do you think this Sweater would be work in the Red Heart Boutique yarn?

[@kameshkrishna99]

nice top

[@nadiahraoui632]

nice l love it

[@sarahesther2324]

I love your video. I just have one question how many rows did you do for the body? From the armholes down.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Sarah, I have given this item away to charity, but looking at the video at around 22:17 mark , I did 24 rows of the DC before I did the edging

[@annikagroebner7534]

I prefer to use a half double crochet stitch or something more solid looking. Can this pattern be done with those stitches as well? I'm assuming so but it's a question of doing something comparable at the junctures etc...

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Annika Groebner Hello, yes I think you could do it with the HDC stitch, just make sure your tension is not too tight so it isnt really stiff

[@tonyawalker7286]

Hello Claire I'm a size 18-20 my arms are not large just mid section. When join the arms I'm confused do I just chain the number I feel comfortable with or follow what you did in the video..... please help Claire I'm confused

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Tonya Walker hi, you would still make your chain to go along with your beginning measurements of your neck and the measurements for your armholes. this amount will differ depending on the size yarn you are using. you will still follow the same directions until you get to the armholes where you begin to work in the round and join the arms. you can then always increase in the middle of the sweater to make it larger.

[@lizs8711]

How do I decrease at the elbow part? Need a video

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, to decrease you can do a double crochet decrease stitch, the more you do the more it will decrease, I usually do them on the beginning of the round

[@mari_arts2974]

How can I change colors if it 2 strands of colors

[@CrochetwithClare]

if you are crocheting with 2 strands doubled together you just drop whatever colour you want to change and then continue with the color you want to add. you do this by just looping the yarn around the hook and then just pulling it through your stitch like normal. then just continue as normal

[@mari_arts2974]

@@CrochetwithClare What happens if you add more color to this?

[@CrochetwithClare]

@@mari_arts2974 you would have a very colorful jumper

[@steviecounts357]
