CROCHET BLANKET CARDIGAN TUTORIAL ~ BEGINNER FRIENDLY CARDIGAN

[@leliatarasova7522]

Found this last year and now have finally started mine. Chose Beetlejuice as my theme, as I absolutely love everything about it 💚🖤 Hopefully will get this done by the time fall comes around so I can walk around with my blanket cardigan, watching movies and drinking too much caffeine. This is incredible, thank you so much, I'm beyond glad that I discovered your channel!!

[@haleighwanchena3583]

I am almost done with this cardi! Since class is still over zoom I have been listening to lectures while I work on it. It definitely helps me to focus if I keep my hands busy. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@AltKnots]

Absolutely! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!🎃

[@AntisocialAuntie]

Love this wearable blanket! And matching sock, of course. Thank you for your awesome designs. Your cardis this year has this knitter-new-crocheter grabbing hooks more often than needles! 🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡

[@AltKnots]

Dang that’s killer to hear! Good thing this 1 works up quick so u can share time with your needles too😆

[@thuphuong9077]

I'm so glad I found your channel

[@cardcaptormyoki7345]

I've been searching and searching for the perfect cardigan to make for my teacher as a thank you present for all that she has done for me. this is the perfect one! thank you so much. I'm so glad I found ur channel :) loving ur style

[@AltKnots]

This is going to be such a fun gift! Have a killer time creating it🎃

[@Chitchat-i4n]

OMG can't wait to try. Thank you for sharing. This isn't the only project I want to try. Thank you. 🎉

[@bellaanne2402]

you're so informative and !! the fact you're offering this info for free to beginners AA !! you're so cool :( thankkkk you

[@raincloud2656]

I am new to crocheting (I picked it because i needed something to do while I was dealing with trochlear dysplasia and my surgeries that I had to have because of it) and this tutorial was super easy to follow and I love the results! Thank you so much for making this ❤

[@MorbidMalice666]

I’ve been crocheting 24/7 for 6mo now after being diagnosed with a brain condition, and if I do say so myself, I’m doing pretty alright!.. well that’s what I thought to myself as I chose your striped killstar dupe for my first ever sweater/clothing project lol I’m definitely not as good as I thought yet 🤣 but I’m half way through this one and it’s turning out so cute!! From one goth to another: thank you for these tutorials, you’re super awesome and I love your channel 🫶🏻🖤🤘🏻

[@feed8647]

Sad to see you discontinued the pattern. Great video anyways, you explain it very well!

[@EmmiFortune]

Ooooh thank you for teaching me a different way to do ribbing! I usually chain the length I want for my rib, then do blo sc along the chain, ch 1, turn, blo all the way back, then sc into the next stitch of my sleeve, then rep. I find my way so boring! Your way looks like it compliments adhd way better thank you

[@littleblackinkdrop31]

Because of you I started crocheting again. And I felt super stressed out the last few days and this finally helped me to ease down :) You feel like this cool big sister that is teaching me stuff :')

[@littleblackinkdrop31]

I have a nightmare on elmstreet patch laying around so that's the theme of my cardigan :D

[@His-Joule]

Will be whipping up your pattern but in paddy green and deep purple ! Thank you for your time and patience 😊😊

Shut up and take my money! … No seriously, I just bought the PDF pattern and I’m going to attempt making this as my first wearable! Super excited and somewhat terrified haha Also you are such an amazing human and I’m so glad I found someone out there making content for my niche in the world 🖤🖤🖤

Been saving this for a long time, going to unravel my black n red sweater I made that came out a little too short into this beautiful cardigan

Love this cardigan. I don't usually make any clothing for myself. I make a lot of dolls and amigurumi. This will be my first attempt at making one.

I am so excited to get your pattern for this cute sweater. I am making it for my son who loves horror flicks. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern.

[@martelvonc]

How many balls of yarn did it take to make your cardi? I'm a larger size and will need to make it bigger anyway but I need a ballpoark figure to start. Thanks!

[@leesal9862]

Try estimating around 1500 yards to 2100 yards. Depending on your size. I thinks it is best to have more than less.

[@martelvonc]

@@leesal9862 Thank you very much. This is helpful.

[@leesal9862]

@@martelvonc You are very welcome sweetie. I know it is hard to estimate as a larger lady. I'm still learning.

Made this for myself. My favourite thing I have ever made!! Thank you so much. I have just finished making my second because my mum was so jealous. Off to make your Killstar inspired sweater next. No doubt will be making a couple of those once my friends and family see it haha!

[@lia_roger]

Oh no I can't make this, I just freehanded something super similar (it's more of an actual coat with massive balloon sleeves though so maybe I could ...) But I love this and I love your channel, I'm glad I found it. ... sigh. On the list it goes.

[@eyellbrakeu]

I just purchased this pattern and my yarns, furls, plus my etsy patches, I can't wait to get started on this project, I'm so excited yeahhhh.

Ah! Great 13th agenda!

[@luisasoto2750]

I want to make this one so bad. i bought the pattern before i saw this video, but neither says the yards you need of the yarn, at least as a base. How much yards took for your size?

[@crypticmoonTV]

Totally non crochet related: What black lipstick are you wearing? I can’t find the perfect kind.. non are opaque and slightly glossy. I love a good matte black as well!!! Thank youuuu 🥰🖤💕❤️🦴🧶

[@AltKnots]

It’s Mac retro liquid lipstick in the color caviar. Pretty amazing and wears for hours🖤

How many rows did you do for the border on the inside?

[@joshondadroomsbabyy7852]

Now I totally got to HOOK IT up, a crochet joke jajaja

[@amandagratrix9724]

Hi Alt Knots please could you tell me how many yards you used of each colour to make this blanket cardigan ? I have seen so many projects of yours I want to do this one and the Halloween cardigan for definite.

[@Wrong.one.again.]

Can you make a form fitting cardigan? I don't like it so big

[@Chloe-mt6jk]

OMG LOVE IT!!!

[@AltKnots]

Thank you!🕷

[@shellthomas2474]

I started on mine today and I'm very excited! However I will say about when I got to my second color my work had stretched out by an additional 10 inches??? It may be the yarn I'm using but I wanted to let other know to double check your work row by row as with any project!

[@AltKnots]

Thank you for mentioning to double check rows. Tension is always a big factor with airy stitches

[@greenblob1437]

How much yarn did you use for the full cardigan, love the colors 🖤❤️

[@Ash_Ars0n]

I want to do this but with saw patches, like billy the puppet+ more but idk where to find them:C very sad day :c

[@AltKnots]

Hellz yeah! Thanks so much and welcome🖤🦇🖤

[@bookswithb2684]

Would I be asking for a headache if I try to do this pattern in their 5 weight yarn?

[@alexvela1521]

I'm trying to make this and it seems pretty easy. I have a question if anyone can help. My measurement for the back panel is 31in. I tend to have tight tension so I used a bigger hook for the foundation chain and did it to measurement. I've done a few rows and measured it again and now it went from 31 to 36 in. Can someone please explain why it got longer?

[@crochetcat6107]

Is there a multiple for the chain? Since your second row establishes the base of the pattern...

[@laace2003]

I'd like to know that too.

[@t1naba1ley]

Wonderful!

[@Theknittinglesbian]

Would this still look good without the ribbing?

[@callen1970ca]

Love this pattern so much that I bought it! Love your channel as well. Where did you get your stitch markers?

[@AltKnots]

Thank you so much! The stitch markers are from Witch Crafter Cult🎃

[@sofiab327]

do we attach the pockets by mattress stitching them too?? also did you did solid colors for pockets or stripes

[@AltKnots]

Yup continue with the mattress stitch. I use all black yarn for me pockets🖤🎃🖤

[@rosie01ism]

Hi sweetie that look so beautiful, well done 👽🖤👻👏

[@victoriafain7396]

I am very new to your videos. I love this pattern; it is so cool. I there any way you can do videos explaining how to do the measurements for cardigans. I know this is from a while ago, so you may not see this question.

[@AltKnots]

I totally can do a breakdown in a video🎃

[@xXAlexOrWhateverXx]

Now there needs to be a matching one for nightmare on elm street in the colors of Freddy Krueger's sweaters

[@sannakay4142]

Just got my yarn and I'm ready to get started on this! 🤟 Just one question, maybe a really stupid one but won't the slip stitch increase in the third row make it uneven? Like the third row willbe longer than the foundation chain and cause it to get wonky? 😱

[@slowbutscattered1567]

I was wondering how many skeins do you need for this project for both colors? I didn't see the number on your pattern.

[@AltKnots]

I don’t normally put a number since everything goes by measurement and is totally different for everyone🖤

[@moghunt99]

How much yarn (in yards or meters) did you use for each colour?

[@OsomlyStitched]

I just finished it and it's SO big in me. The pattern had no measurements at all sadly, and no gauge. I'm gonna have to unravel it to make something else. The stitch is really pretty though, and the idea is cool.

[@kschemenauer]

So when you say elbow to elbow across the chest do I put my arms out like a T and measure elbow to elbow or with my arms down?

[@AltKnots]

Arms out like a T and measure across🎃

[@victoriarosehosker6140]

@@AltKnots Yes please, I think it would make a cute cardi.

[@HeyItsGriffin]

I like this pattern a lot! Very inspiring. I know you said you can chain up to the length you measure but I've seen similar boxy patterns to this that required chain multiples of 3 or something akin, will this just work regardless?

[@gwladysleprince1196]

Hi ! It may be too late but I tried to follow this tutorial and it didn't worked because I didn't use a multiple of 3. So I'm thinking about following another video tutorial for the stitch, but I will follow the instructions given in this one

[@socorrespecial]

Does the tutorial work for having the sleeves like yours in the beginning? Like hooking over your fingers

[@socorrespecial]

Or do we not do ribbing on the sleeves to get that look?

[@AdrianaruizAdrianaruiz]

do you have the graphic of this work

[@MELON._.06]

What measurements did you use? And what measurements are good for pluz size people? I’m kinda new to crocheting! ( as in how long you made the back panel and how wide you made it!) ^^

[@Atlas_Reid]

When I started out I would measure a piece of clothing I had that I liked the fit of. So take a sweater or hoodie you like the size and fit of and start chaining. You just keep chaining and hold it up to the sweater (or whatever) you’re using slightly stretching the chain a bit (don’t pull too hard!) until it’s the same width! And for the height just keep checking every few rows to see if it’s the same. Hope this helps!

[@laurenh2583]

Where did you get that perforated blade for the rotary cutter? I have a Olfa brand 45mm rotary cutter with regular blades. It would be great for some dark denim fabric that I want to crochet on.

[@AltKnots]

I purchased mine from Joanns🖤 it’s been pretty helpful!
