Hi Crystal, is this pattern available for purchase yet? I am having trouble finding it. :)

[@noplacelikehomecrochet5335]

I really wish you would have done two more rows I the beginning. it would have made all the difference to have confidence in the edge.

[@samanthamurdock3752]

This Stitch Pattern is FUN!!!

[@peche140]

Finished! Super easy! Wore with a scarf! Thanks Crystal for another great project! 🧶❤️

[@heidimcglothlin8424]

😍 I am so in love with THIS 💓, I can't wait to make it. Thank you again Crystal for all the amazing videos and tutorials you put out there for all of us.

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thanks so much Heidi 😊

[@joannhandsford7579]

I love her videos. I’m so glad I found her and subscribed!

[@heidimcglothlin8424]

I honestly have to say out of all of the tutorials and crochet KZbinrs out there Crystal has to be one of the best in "My Opinion" for beginner and advanced crocheters, simply because she takes the time to show you every little thing and goes step by step in each one of her videos not just the beginning friendly ones and I love that because there's times I'll forget how to do a step or stitch and instead of having to go back and find that video, Crystal will actually demonstrate it and walk you through it whether or not you know it. Cuz I've noticed with other KZbinrs they'll just assume that you know and just speed through it. And there's just something in her voice and the way she explains things that make it so much easier, like it gives you a boost of confidence. All I know is I wouldn't be as advanced in crocheting if it wasn't for her ❤️. And every time somebody asks me how long it took me to get the hang of crocheting I simply say "Bag-o-Day"....lol... And then I tell them about crystals super super easy videos. I was confident crocheting in front of people in about a week or so, she really makes it that easy to learn. ❤️

[@traceyloewe1744]

Beautiful! If only I crocheted....I knit.

[@patrickmckinley9937]

Hi 👋 Tracey, can I talk to you for a moment?

[@conley1205]

You have to be one of the most heartfelt and wonderful person on here.

[@cherylsmith5307]

Your card's looks so soft and comfy. I love the clean lines and simplicity of the design. You explain and demonstrate this pattern so well that it doesn't appear it will be overwhelming to make. Thank you!

[@NorCackalacky]

This looks like a sweater I may be able to do. 😬 Got you on slow'mo Crystal!!

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thanks Loretta ❤

[@susiejones336]

I can see this in my next project. Thanks for the different sizes. I am a bigger woman and directions for women’s sizes is great. 🌻

[@deb.b.6400]

That is one of the reasons I like to watch you. Thank you for taking your time to put the other sizes on here, that's a lot of extra work that shows how considerate you are of your crocheters.

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thank you 💖

[@roserenik6375]

Absolutely adorable and beautiful color and beautiful work. Will be adding this to my make list. Thank you for including the larger sizes.

[@annwickham4332]

I love how simple the stitches are. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of chunky yarn so I think I'll try it in a 4 weight. Thank you so much

[@jf8080]

Ann, I'm making it for my teen granddaughter in the 4 weight and it's turning out great! My granddaughter didn't want it so chunky. She also wants a hood on it, and a longer length, so I'm improvising! 😊

[@angiefarmer3945]

What size hook did you use with the 4 weight yarn?

[@annwickham4332]

I used 6.5 mil or k hook

[@YARNBARF]

Wow!! That will keep you warm as toast!! Beautiful, Crystal!!

[@LaceyMad]

It is simply FABULOUS! Thanks Crystal 👌😍

[@patrickmckinley9937]

Hi 👋 Lacey, can I please ask you a question?

[@donnarussell6142]

Yes! This one is next on my list to make. I'm going to make sweaters and cardigans for Christmas next year. This is beautiful Crystal.

[@cathymickelson2727]

Love this sweater. Perfect for our Wisconsin winters. Looks easy enough for me, relatively novice crocheter.

[@unagohery-loose6778]

Lovely!!!! Even better with 2 sleeves! Glad you stayed going 😉

[@jodyfink1924]

Beautiful cardigan. I'm going to add to my list of projects. I'll eventually get to them since my son was recently diagnosed with ALS. I'll need to be within reach for him and crocheting has always been a stress release for me. Hugs and thanks for helping keep me happy. 🤗😇 I wish I would have found you years ago. My bestie said she's seen my renewed love for crocheting since I found you and a couple other channels that do this for the true love of teaching us. ♥

[@carmenvegas8387]

It is so pretty thank you Crystal. You are an excellent teacher. All your projects are so easy to follow and they come out perfect.

[@kellip625]

I’m making mine in the green puzzle 🧩 yarn! Can’t wait to see it finished!!!

[@Pitoonya]

I need some bulky yarn. Love this cardigan. I live in FL in my landladys house. She doesn't turn heat on in winter (fine with me..I can't breathe when it's on.) So around the house it would be perfect. Also to go outside. Thank you for ur hard work Crystal. xo

[@tammygualtieri3980]

I just finished watching the whole tutorial, I already know which yarn I'll be using. Crystal, I need this cardigan in my life. Thank you for breaking it down and being awesome at explaining. As soon as I finish my grandsons Louis "Buton" sweater, I'll be starting this for myself. Much love darlin! God bless

[@claraingram5744]

[@Caligrlknits]

Loved watching this tutorial you're the best! I'm so excited to show this to my friend, she is a crocheter but only does throws. She is a breast cancer survivor and in addition had to have some glands in one of her arms removed so... one arm is permanently a lot bigger then the other. She has to buy way oversized clothing to compensate. Anyway I am so excited to show her your video and help if she needs it. Thanks again for all you do so well in teaching others.

[@samanthak5831]

This cardi looks so comfy Crystal. I am watching the whole tutorial to get this down pat. I'm looking at my yarn now. Blessings

[@sylviascott4051]

Beautiful, Crystal. I want to learn how to make a Cardigan so badly. You make it look so easy. Thank you. I love your tutorials. You have taught me so much about crocheting that I want to take the plunge and make the Cardigan. Now I need to purchase the yarn and hook size.

[@stephanierobertson8733]

Thank You so much for your beautiful tutorials.Your work is beautiful.And enjoying your videos.

[@kathymiller9956]

HI CRYSTAL, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CARDIGAN. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO💖🙂💗🎄

[@alettavannieuwenhuizen]

Beautiful thank you Crystal. I hate doing panels, I love one piece crochet, going to modify your cardigan to a one piece and do the arms separate😜 this is the only way I can make a garment for myself 😍

[@lesliethurman7717]

Time to go search the stash to see if I have enough of any yarn to make this!!! Looks super easy and quick, my kind of project. Thank You Crystal

[@traciperdue]

Thanks for sharing. 👏👏👏Yay!!! I have another one to do. Have a good night!!!

[@sherrylesina7224]

Years ago my mother requested a vest. I made it from scratch (as I can't read a pattern) She loved it. I think I could do this one...thanks for sharing

[@SusanFHeywood]

Thanks for posting this tutorial, Crystal and for mentioning in your live chat that you could use double strands of thinner yarn. I made one cardigan for myself and I'm now making one for my mother-in-law for Christmas in a smaller size. They work up very quickly and I was able to use up some stash yarn that I had by doubling up on the strands. This stitch is very fast to work and very easy to do. No need to stress over the repeats because they are very simple. It was pretty funny cuz when I finished my sweater I looked on some ads that have were popping up and there was one for sale that looks almost exactly like the one I ended up making. My yarn was variegated and in cakes and so the stripes don't actually match up but where they are match up so it looks like it was meant to be that way if that makes any sense. Anyway thanks again this tutorial is quite easy to work with and makes a beautiful gift when you're finished.

[@frozenstone1787]

I am going to make this maybe putting ribbing around the neck and down the front. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial ❣🙏🙃

[@BKLYNGIRL222]

Yyyyyeeeesss!!! It’s lovely! When I’m able to get some yarn, I will make one for sure. 🧶🌟🧶🌟🧶🌟🧶

Beautiful cardigan. I should problem learn to crochet. I'm a knitter. Love your videos.

[@2boys2boys56]

I know I can do this. You have confidence in me

[@HappyNannyDeb]

Hi hun, I buy most of my wool from The Wool Warehouse here in England. I particularly like the Hayfield brand, the DK, Aran and Chunky are all amazing. They have a huge range of colours too. I really love this cardigan, the pattern is very effective. Looking forward to seeing this and wearing it. I like to work 2 strands of DK yarn together, to make chunky thickness, I sometimes use different colours and it creates some gorgeous colour combinations. Also by doing this you get much more yarn to use. How fab is that 😃. Looking forward to my next project to make from your patterns. Take care sweet, big hugs. 😍😘🤗 Thank you Debs XX

[@amyking2597]

You take the cutest pictures crystal!!❤❤ I will make this for sure after my sweater. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@vikkisoderquist6013]

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thank you... unfortunately my Aunt passed away today 😞

[@Sar10Isr]

@Bag-O-Day Crochet I'm so very sorry to hear that, I don't really know what to say except may her soul rest in peace and you and your family will be comforted by heaven. ( that's what we say in hebrew, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart). Take your time dear. Sending comforting hugs your way. English isn't my mother tongue so I hope nothing I wrote is translated in an offending way. May you know only happiness from now on Chrystal ❤.

[@melissakilburn7395]

How have I not seen this video? Beautiful..I will be making this after I finish my blanket project 🙃
