Thank you for marking the different parts of the cardigan with timestamps! And also providing different sizes! This video was perfect for me! It had a video instruction, as well as timestamps, and written instructions! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do!! I look forward to seeing more amazing patterns from you!

[@SkeinSpider]

No worries at all. Timestamps always prove super useful as a youtube watcher, so I want to make sure to include them in every video. I have a few more clothing projects in the works so I hope they don't disappoint :)

I love when two of my obsessions meet! Anime and crochet is a beautiful combination. Love your version of Shinobu's haori💜

[@SkeinSpider]

I totally agree. I might have to do some more anime/crochet mash-ups!

[@IBubblesTV]

Id absolutely love to see a zenitsu haori so badly! He is my favorite character and haven't seen anyone do it yet! Would be a fun challenge for sure!!

[@SkeinSpider]

I will attempt a Zenitsu haori at some point but the next piece I'm working on is something Rengoku inspired.

OMG, Ive had similar ideas. I keep wanting to come up with an entire closet full of Asian / anime inspired garb.

[@SkeinSpider]

Go for it! One of my goals this year is to crochet myself a wardrobe of clothes too.

This is where I especially love the differences in the Englishes. I would have said 80's, 90's, and 2000's. But you said 80s, 90s, and naughtys (sorry if I am spelling that wrong, I know naught/knot? Means 0) So now I know how to say 2000s without saying all that 🤣 And I am.sure to getba few odd looks but I am positive atleast 90% of people will understand what I mean and its awesome 🥰

For the sleeves, you could always fashion yourself a Tusuki to pull them out of your way.

Absolutely amazing! I'm currently working on a cardigan, but when that's finished, yours will be next!

[@SkeinSpider]

[@janedaniel7288]

I've never made a cardigan for myself but you have inspired me to really consider doing so. I love your design. No idea about the characters, but really love the look. I was thinking it needed an edging, then you mentioned it. Also you could leave a unsewn gap at the bottom where the side and the back join. Sure there is a technical term for it but no idea what it is. Also just watched your Poke.on inspired cardigan. I have a grandson who would love that!! Thank you for your inspiration. xxJane

[@ascoisasdejoana]

Love it, my daughter want one, i will do it for her. Do one of Nezuko.

[@SkeinSpider]

I want to do something Nezuko themed. But I'm thinking of incorporating her design into something else, like a dress or a skirt.

[@cmkaminski]

you could always add a cuff at this point. It would balloon at the bottom but still give the illusion of a larger sleeve.

[@kikithepupper6774]

omg.. thank you thank you... I've been wanting to see someone make this because I loveeee shinobu. Thanks so much

[@SkeinSpider]

No worries :)

[@samiraadams6980]

Ohoooo my god, this cardigan / kimono is the bombe, I need one, and thank you for the video.

[@multidebbie1]

A tip because she did the colors a little wrong. So she went with 50% white when in reality it should be about 75% white and about 7.5% blue 7.5% black 12% pink that way itll look a little bit more realistic and closer to Shinobu's actual design. Oh and remember to make the bottom more flared up too. Ex: if your shoulder length if 45cm do 60cm for the bottom. Its similar to the sleeves but a little less flare. But its personal preference so you can make it even more flared!

[@nikkichick83]

This is awesome! My daughter's favorite character.

[@SkeinSpider]

Cheers!

[@AnneKathrine94]

i wish this was in writing aswell :) i work best while watching tv xD

[@SkeinSpider]

It might be one day. I've just started out crocheting clothes, so I'm not confident enough in my skill yet to be doing a full written pattern. If/when I get to that point I'll for sure revisit this.

[@Pinkystar2]

[@valenti9291]

thats amazing but i will make the sleeves very big to give that butterfly effect when spreading the arms

[@Nobody-fh4wv]

Crocheting has made me realize I can’t count lol

[@SkeinSpider]

I feel that. Nothing has driven home the fact that I suck at maths like crocheting has haha

[@catmumcrafts]

Ill be doing this sometime next year (yes i am that booked up with projects). With a couple of slight differences, tapered sleeves because flappy sleeves get on my nerves, and flower motifs instead of butterflies

[@SkeinSpider]

I love how we have to schedule our projects. Tapered sleeves sound like a good idea. I would've done that too if I wasn't trying to be pretty accurate to the character design. Can confirm the flappiness is very annoying 😂

[@CajunLady337]

If you do another one, please do nezuko. My daughter is obsessed with her and I would love to make her one. Also! Like this is really beautiful and plan on making it ❤️ but I hope you make all the characters lol

[@JennCampbell]

When doing the edging, front post sc, back post sc for a few rows/rounds will look similar to ribbing. 😊

[@SkeinSpider]

I need to remember this one! I've only ever used one technique to create ribbing, so it'd be nice to try something new. Thanks for the tip 🙂.

[@labyrinthgirl17]

Simply stunning! I hope my future attempt is half as good as yours. : D

[@SkeinSpider]

Thank you. I'm sure it'll be great! If you can double crochet and change colour, you'll be right :)

[@EliAlexaSamaniego]

I've been planning to do crochet so i looked online and saw this and Demon slayer is my fav anime of all time...this made me wanna do it more but idk how to start ╥⁠﹏⁠╥

[@Kelseywartooth]

This will be my next project I've already purchased the yarn for it I got the Lily sugar and cream cotton yarn. Could i ask why it would be easier to block before they are sewn together? And what the purpose of blocking is? This will be the biggest project I've taken on so far and I'm a little intimidated but your video is so in depth I've convinced myself I can do it! Thank you for taking all this time to not only create it on camera but teaching me all the things you did to make it as beautiful as it is! Very well done!

[@SkeinSpider]

Blocking is used for a few reasons: to stop edges curling, to help maintain size/shape and in clothing it can help your piece drape better so it looks more flattering when you wear it. I thought it might be better to block the panels separately because it's easier to work with one or two pieces individually rather than five already sewn together. Good luck with your haori!

Would it really mess up how the cardigan comes out if somehow the back ended up 4 cms longer than what I measured for across my shoulders?

[@SkeinSpider]

I don't think so. If anything you may want to adjust your sleeve length because the extra cm's across the back will translate to extra length across your shoulders and the top of your arms.

[@SkeinSpider]

This cardigan is made to people's own measurements/preferences. So if you wanted to make it larger, my suggestion would be to follow the instructions for taking your measurements but than add some additional length/width. For example, if you measured shoulder to shoulder take that measurement and add Xcm to increase the size.
