an oversized crochet hoodie sweater tutorial

[@DanaBold]

Disclaimer: I switch up the hood pattern as I go, quickly watch through 19:04 before beginning. I make up all my patterns as I go. I’m sorry about the noise I’m a SAHM, no idea this video would recieve a million views otherwise I would have set up a better filming space and wrote the pattern out fully, thanks for following along ❤

[@daniellerodgers6493]

Can you make an updated video?

[@GachaVid-js3xm]

Can you please rewrite the pattern? Your patreon is locked

[@icewater4725]

Omg.....I love this... so so cute. Between you and the marshmallow sweater I think it's gonna be awesome

[@Kiera-cc7qe]

I cant find the hood video

[@hediyejabarzad7883]

I loved the result but the process was too confusing for me and because I am a beginner i couldnt make it 😔

[@afroyogabyangie]

Just finished mine and I an IN LOVE. If you pay close attention you shouldn’t have too many issues. She does change the hood without warning but I watched it all before I started so instead of chaining 36 for the hood I chained 30 and it came out great, could have probably gone down to 25 because the hood is still roomy! I will say for someone who has never done a jacket I kinda had to figure out how to add the sleeves in because she doesn’t go over that part but it’s pretty easy to figure out! Totally worth it, would make it again. Thank you!!

[@rochellenoah-brunklaus5243]

because you did 30 did it look close to what it looked like in the end for her video after she altered the hood, or do you think 25 would be closer to her finish product for the hood??

[@icewater4725]

Nice job. I'm excited to make mine!!!

[@jamajochiara4919]

Sorry, how many balls of yarn did you use?

[@kateluna7]

i started the project making the sleeves then i watched the entire video to find out she changed it which was heartbreaking but it was easy to king of map out the hood that she ended up changing - instead of decreasing, make the top of the hood all square!! (I chained 34 which turns into 32 double crotchet bc of skipping 2 with beginning. Then i went up and down the hood part 6 times and it looks great!) loved the video gave it a thumbs up just wish she gave us a warning at least halfway in the video that she cut her pattern down 💗💗

[@Nekohibi]

Do we still need to attach onto the back of the hood where she decreases? Or can we continue the pattern without it

[@lindaterrell7920]

Thanks!

[@cassa6416]

@@Nekohibi I believe the decrease is so that the hoodie looks pointed at the back and slants down front to be wider, if you don't decrease you do not get that slant. which depending on how you like it, it should not make a big difference.

Hola, cree que podría ayudarme con las medidas 😢

[@agustinacaliva981]

​@@yetlacabrera5456 A mi igual, alguien podría ayudarme??

[@ChristinaFenerty]

Love it! Worked up fast, the revisions to the pattern are easy if you understand the basics of shaping. If you dont, it's still a great tutorial to pick up some new troubleshooting skills! I really appreciated the tutorial's realness of family, pets, and crochet chaos! Half the time, I'm distracted as my kids destroy the house, and i end up with something weird. Instead of frogging I can usually fix it but it took a while to build those skills ❤❤

[@megan7292]

I love how this tutorial was both super calm and super chaotic at the same time. The kids and the cat are an adorable addition to a great tutorial haha

[@icewater4725]

Everytime that cat would pass, it was like CAT COMING THROUGH!

[@mayahsworld.]

Who else ignored what she was saying and listened to the kids singing😊 "Oh!, we need to be quiet!" that was sooo cute!!

[@Vakentz0r]

This is stunning. Also thank you for not editing out kitten purrs and little kiddos - it really made this extra cute and calming to listen to - I giggled so hard at "oh we gotta be quiet --- MUMMY"

[@ahmednaveed4328]

Mummy is so calm, the kids are playing and the cat want to knit, a very very beautiful video, a real video, unique 😘😘😍😍🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️i love it 👏👏

[@heathernicole892]

I made a few changes. I connected the front two panels, added a pocket and fake hoodie strings (ch 12, single crochet for one row) and I made a drug rug style cropped hoodie and it ended up sooo cute, I used a 6.5 hook and I ended up having 5 1/2 skeins left after buying the 18 originally. I made a matching cat ear beanie and leg warmers and I have gotten ENDLESS compliments on all of it! This is an amazing pattern and I just purchased more yarn to make another

[@charlottesmom]

I adore this and 15 years ago would have give it a go without question, BUT I haven't picked up a crochet hook for that long (until yesterday) seems I forgot quite a bit. 😢 Will be practicing and getting the muscle memory back then will give this a go! I love this project completely!! ❤

[@doodybird5766]

Love this sweater, not trying to be ugly... I hope you can do another one, my ears crash with multiple sounds going on and I couldn't hear a lot of this but thank you for showing this

[@christinecooper4377]

I’m a beginner crochet this tutorial was everything. This was beautiful

[@morganjolley5179]

For all of you complaining about how she changes the pattern midway through- it's really not that hard to figure out how to fix it once you stitch it together! It took me a bit, but i was still able to seam mine together using the original pattern 😀

[@CuteAya-i6h]

Why are y'all hating she is trying her best like be grateful that she can even show you a proper tutorial she is a mom she is trying her best and her tutorial is so fun and good she deserves more!!!❤

[@ameliapisano4779]

Lost my comment. Love this sweater, easy to make. Definitely chaotic mess, had to replay several times. Perhaps laying it on a table and standing over it to give everyone a good look would be great. All the changes while crocheting were unnerving and I’m an experienced crochet. Wish you all the best. Your talented.

[@benlindner5501]

love this sweater so comfy I used wool ease thick and quick and it came out amazing thank you people in the commits for telling me about the changing in the number of chains in the hood i would have never known i made mine in black (I'm not emo) I'm definitely making another one in a different color thank for making such an easy pattern oh, and I LOVE your cat so cute

[@StellaShadowmoon]

I haven’t crocheted for probably 20 years and I was only a beginner but I’ve always thought of piecing together crochet clothing like normal sewn clothing. Even though the pattern was switched up it’s very simple and I understand what you did. You just have to put the puzzle pieces together. And WOW that’s a lot of yarn but so worth it 🩷

[@felicialusterino5523]

This is so cool love this little jacket! Kitty is so cute, glax to seem I'm not the only one with jealous cat & dog that wants my attention, same when my grandsons come over, like when i crochet they both getin the middle of everything Lol.

[@jencrochetingradtech5913]

I love how you didn’t edit out the kids talking to you🥰. Also your kitty is so cute. My cats want to bite the yarn so I have to be watchful of that

[@patriciaoneill3116]

Hiiiiii, so I actually made this, 3 diff yarns 1 sparkly. Diff colours for sleeves and back. I guessed the hood and it turned out large but funky! Still a bit short .. I did 46 chains fr length I think, but I'm gonna add ribbing to the bottom 😊 cheers ❤

[@shariwatson9824]

Hi! What kind of seam did you use to stitch the pieces together? Great tutorial, love this so much!

[@Anna-ov4ty]

1:30 to about 4:50 - makes the sleeves using double crochet

[@Anna-ov4ty]

5:00 making front panels, length is from your shoulder to however long you want. Used double crochet as well

[@Anna-ov4ty]

At the end of the 4th row: chain off ( hoodie) She chained 36. The comments say its kinda too long

[@Anna-ov4ty]

Continue on, says she would increase by 2 everytime she goes back up (to the end of the hood)

[@Anna-ov4ty]

8 rows of hood and stop. Make 1 more

[@Anna-ov4ty]

Chain 34, like the front panels' first row. Make 5 rows of DC. -> no increase?

[@ql3790]

As soon as i figure this out i will do this

[@TaniyaJames-n7h]

Hey Dana Do You Mind Making A New Video Of How You Make The Oversized Sweater, I Took Some Notes On The Important Parts Throughout The Video But Because There’s So Much Other Background Noise And Being That You Change The Pattern Mid-Video I Think It Would Be Best To Upload A New And Improved Version.
