Crochet Cardigan for Men and Women

[@gailmckenzie9174]

I'm almost finished my first one. Very simple recipe, I'll definitely make a bunch of these. Easiest sweater pattern I've come across yet, beautiful. Only thing is I followed this one to the letter but it's smaller than I thought it would be. Making for my brother's birthday but might have to make a larger one. Anyhow, it's gorgeous and thank you for sharing with us...

[@fashionista.talenista96]

Amazing work, I'm definitely thinking about men's wear too. Cause I get nervous when Crocheting. I make women things for me but when I start my business, I don't wanna' leave the men out like that. I thank you, are an Inspiration in this video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@deescreations]

Yes,men shouldn’t be left out sis😍,thanks for watching ❤️

I'm a guy who started crochet about 9 maths ago. I'm going to have a go at this, I feel confident enough. Love your work.

[@deescreations]

Wow thank u so much for watching 💪🏾

Dee.... what am I gonna do with you? You are like the “Energizer Bunny” ... you just keep going & going & going with these lovely 🧶 crochet pieces..... Thank you Very Much.... again & again...

[@deescreations]

Thank you for your kind words ❤️❤️

Not telling you what to do, but Walmart now sells the ring lights for KZbin.an led light over top of you would help us to see your work easier, or use alternative colors just for your videos. Like a light blue for the black and pink for white. The bonus is you get yourself a cool sweater of feminine colors for you. Thanks for your time.

I'm going to try to make this. I'm pretty new to crochet, and most crochet videos are for babies, kids, and women. I've been able to crochet things for my daughters, but never for my son. I'm hoping I can make it right .

[@danacampbell2960]

So I measured my chest at 57inch, but when we get to the arm holes to continue the back do I still count 27 stitches? Or do I count the stitches and then half it then half it again to get the count to know where to start for the backing of the sweater

[@creative2716]

Extremely hard to follow your stitches using black yarn. Tutorials should use lighter colored yarn please. Very nice sweater!

[@andrealee5699]

May I ask what’s the length of this cardigan you’ve completed? I’ve tried making 24 rows but it seems way too short.

[@merlemcdonald2397]

Well definitely make one, easy pattern thanks for sharing

[@deescreations]

You’re welcome and thanks for watching 😍

[@dianagarrison1869]

I started making this cardigan. I am doing 48 inches long. When I count my stitches for the back up to the neck do I still count 27 in on both sides or what count of stitches do I do? Thank you so much for this tutorial looking forward to finishing this for my husband!!!

[@deescreations]

Hello thanks for watching. Measure your husband shoulder to shoulder and mark on the sweater (back) the inches you get. Then the rest should be for the front making sure you have the same number of stitches on both sides.

[@dianagarrison1869]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate your help!!

[@deek6913]

Diana, did you figure it out?

[@dianagarrison1869]

Yes I did!! I just finished it last week due to the yarn I was using being sold out so I had to do changes to how many rows for colors!!! My husband loves it!!! Thanks again for your help!!! I really appreciate it!!!

Not sure if you check comments on older videos but I’d love to know how many yards of yarn is needed for this pattern (if using a single strand instead of doubled)?

[@deescreations]

Hi, u need 1,140 yards, I am not sure but if you’re in the USA u could use 4skeins of Big twist yarn for a size large. Anything smaller u will need like 3 skeins.

[@alexnolaningham]

@@deescreations Cool! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for making such a beautiful cardigan. I was searching the comments to find how many yards this cardigan will take. And I found it in this comment and you also used my favorite yarn, big twist lol. Thank you.

[@andrealee5699]

Thank you for this lovely video. May I check if we should start with the base colour which is black? Or do we start with colour B (cream)? Didn't catch this in your video.

[@deescreations]

Hi, you start with any color you want. I started with cream for video purposes since black is hard to see on camera

[@doreenauma2948]

I made 24 rows but it seems very short compared to yours. How many inches must they be before I start working on other parts? Please respond because am stuck. And how many stitches in total do you have? Are the 27 stitches standard?

[@vannessa7481]

Is it only me? 😢I have to increase my chain from the measurements of the chest at first before during the arm hole. It’s really small

[@TheRoby73]

Very cute cardigan. Great color choice, but I am unable to see anything in black.

[@deescreations]

That’s unfortunate but if you pay more attention to what I’m saying I’m sure you can make it.

[@marynour9278]

Please can you make a video on how to take these measurements

[@cherylheart8132]

Hello how are you doing today? What if you are making a smaller cardigan. Do you still count out 27 stitches

[@omarsabri6807]

Thanks so much! I’ll start my first ever! I’m just used to making funny in comply stuff! How long did this take you? You finished it in one day?

[@deescreations]

Thank you for stopping by, no I didn’t finish it in one day because I have a habit of working on many other projects at the same time. So I keep switching them up but it is possible to make it in one day.

[@robyndavis7159]

@@deescreations Did you use two strands of 4 weight yarn throughout the project?

[@sangitapai]

Very nicely explained.I would like to make for my husband with chest 48, how many chains should I take for making the armhole,it would be better if you let me know.Also should we take yarn in double as you have done or single strand is enough?

[@deescreations]

Make your foundation chain 48 inches long or u can take off 2 inches on both sides which u will add later with the ribbing. My yarn was thin yarn and I needed my sweater to be warm so that’s why I doubled it. If you have chunky or yarn size 4, you can use that and don’t need to double it.

[@sangitapai]

@@deescreations thanks,but how many chains for neck to armhole?

[@deescreations]

I think I’m the one who’s not understanding your question because I didn’t make chains around that part, you could send me a picture on any of my social media platforms (check the description box) so I can help you better.

[@claritacollier2270]

I would like to know this answer as wel

[@rae0521]

I measured the chest then made a foundation chain 36" long (133 ch). Then added 4 (3 for the turning chain) and began DC in the 4th chain in the back loop only. After completing 2 rows, my material measured 41". I double checked my work - no stitches added - no unusual tension. I'm using a chunky 5 and 6mm hook. Can you tell me why this grew by 5 inches? Do I now need to start again and start with a foundation chain of 31" to achieve my 36" chest measurement?

[@deescreations]

Hi,it could be that your foundation chain was too tight, consider changing the hook.

[@rae0521]

@@deescreations Thanks for getting back to me... I took out chains in the foundation until I had a fairly loose chain measuring 31". Then began again. The foundation chain didn't look too tight but after crocheting into the BLO on it, the material widened. I've now completed the 9th row and the material now measures 39"! and is clearly curved (widening from the foundation row to row 9). I've resisted changing the hook to 5mm because the Patons Shetland Chunky I'm using calls for a 6mm and even using that it makes a fairly tight "weave." Perhaps I should try using a 7mm hook? So, I think I'll frog it all and start again. I have 116 sts consistently in each row, so I know I'm not adding. I don't consider my tension either loose or tight. But somehow I want a piece of material to be 36" to match the chest measurement of the model. BTW... a question. How much does the additional ribbing ADD to the width... it looks as if it could be several inches? Thanks for your help.

[@camillajackson2623]

Hi I’m just about finished with this project and I noticed that it’s not quite long enough how can I add length without having to start over

[@deescreations]

Hi, you can add more length from the bottom part. Like attach yarn to the first row and add more rows.

[@camillajackson2623]

Thanks!

When you are decreasing in the front panel, after the first decrease you chain 3 and turn. Do you decrease the first two stitches in the next row or do you just dc in every chain?

Hi, here’s what u need to remember while watching tutorials or trying to recreate something on KZbin. the first thing is that our our yarn is different, 2nd thing the gauge is different among other things. So use your own measurements, I made my part of showing you how to make it and it’s free. You also have plenty of options on KZbin to choose from if this tutorial is not working for you. Thank you.
