Thank you so much for this tutorial. Nice easy to follow directions for this gorgeous cardigan. I was easily able to make it a larger size.☺️

[@KnitcroAddict]

You’re welcome Donna, so happy to hear that 🙏 Especially that you could make a larger size, did you use the gauge?

[@donnamellow746]

@@KnitcroAddict no I didn't. I just measured myself from shoulder to shoulder and made a chain long enough making sure it was an even number so I was able to divide evenly for the front panels. ☺️. I do have a question for you.. I was trying to purchase the pattern for the green bag you made but it won't let me purchase it.. when I click on it, it brings me back to the main screen.. any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

[@donnamellow746]

Sorry, trying to purchase BLUE circle purse pattern.. not the green.. I'm watching the video for the green purse now.

[@KnitcroAddict]

Very smart! 👏🏼 The blue one requires less hardware so it’s a good choice. It’s working on my end, it does look like the main screen till you scroll down. Try it again and let me know, we’ll get it figured out 😊

I have made so many of your patterns. I follow your tutorials. BTW...thank you so very much for your work to make these clearly understood tutorials. ❤ I am making this sweater for my granddaughter. The same yarns that you used. I have made many of your tops for her. She adores you and finds more tutorials for me from your tutorials and from Instagram. 😊 She is built so much like you and the items fit as they are perfect for her. I was wondering if you wash this and block it before sewing together? I have never used this yarn before. Blessings!❤

[@KnitcroAddict]

Thank you so much for the sweet comment and all the support 😊❤️🙏That makes me so happy to hear. Definitely keeps me inspired to keep making these tutorials. That’s a great question! This yarn and stitches used are very forgiving for this project. I don’t usually wash and block them before sewing them, but it’s always great to block them before you sew them as it relaxes the fibers and stitches. I’m just too impatient for it lol. Keep up the great work! ❤️

[@Mari-B]

❤❤ thanks so much!

[@KnitcroAddict]

Thank you! For this sweater, I wouldn't recommend it because of the collar. I had the exact same thought when I made this design originally, so I did make a sweater hoodie that you might like here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHa1n3SaorGFhqs It's not the same cardigan but check it out and let me know what you think :)

[@poojadas8434]

How do I know which pattern to follow for size xl?

[@cgtzGtz]

Love this project!! But when you spend over a 100 in yarn I prefer to buy one at chipper price

[@KnitcroAddict]

I totally understand, it's not cheap but I prefer to use the yarn that I'll enjoy wearing. You can use any #6 bulky you prefer. Happy crocheting :)

[@sylviaseri4235]

Buy the yarn when it goes on sale in Michaels, sometimes 50% off, or use coupons and buy one or two a week. I have also used maybe 2 strands or worsted crocheted together to save money too.

[@beverlykornegay8587]

To make size large how many stitches

Beautiful....thks ....can you explain me how to make one for my daughter of 4 years old...the measurement to be taken ,front ,sleeves, etc....never done this kind of work before

Thank you 🙏🏽 Yes, you can chain any amount of chains to the length you want, doesn’t have to be an odd number

[@euzinha8737]

Seria ótimo se você colocasse legendas em português.

[@dawnamendola8690]

I have a question.. I've finished the back panel 34 rows , my gauge is correct but mine is 32 inches long as you said but my width is only 14 inches wide, it's suppose to be 16 inches wide ?

[@KnitcroAddict]

Hi, I think you might crochet tighter then me, I recommend crochet 4 more rows and see how it will turn out. Let me know how it goes.

[@KnitcroAddict]

And if it work that’s mean you will have 38 rows for the back panel, so for the front panels you need to add 2 more rows for each panel .

[@dawnamendola8690]

I think you're right , I just ripped it out and started over , I bought the pattern , making a medium and crocheting with looser tension , I think it will be fine ... thank you for quick response:)

[@KnitcroAddict]

What crochet hook and the yarn weight that you used?

[@dawnamendola8690]

Same as you hook size 10 and i used same yarn , I loosened my tension. I think it will be fine now :)

You can find the link to the free pattern in the description below the video and all the details are in there for all the sizes

[@rosemerifreitascaleia6536]

Centímetros. Plays

[@KnitcroAddict]

I don’t know in centimeters but you can convert the measurements in google

[@lizs8711]

Can I use one solid color and a k hook?

[@KnitcroAddict]

You can use one solid color as long as it’s 6 super bulky yarn. If you are very practiced at adjusting patterns, you could use a K hook, but if you have doubts, I recommend using 10mm. It will turn out much smaller if you follow this tutorial with a K hook.

[@felstrans]

Me gustan mucho tus trabajos pero no puedo suscribirme porque no pones en números la cantidad de centímetros a cadenetas para las diferentes tallas entonces no te puedo seguir porque no te entiendo nada

[@anniegoupil186]

small=free, other people=pay. thats is discrimination.

[@KnitcroAddict]

Am I discriminating against XS? XL? M? I made a small because I wear a small. The pattern available for purchase includes sizes from XS-XXL. I don’t physically have the time to make free everything for everyone. I give a ton away for free, including patterns other than small, but I’ve got to eat too. I understand if people can’t or won’t pay for a pattern, so I’ve included the gauge. This takes work to figure out, on my part initially but also on your part, but it allows those that can’t/won’t pay an option to make any size they like. If this isn’t enough, then you’re only discriminating yourself. I’m sure there are lots of free patterns in your size available online. I hope you have better luck with them.

[@anniegoupil186]

if im wrong you don't have to take a entire paragraphe to justify yourself. I now that take time but. my point is why a free written pattern for one size and other have to pay. all pay, or all free. if you don't take the critic, not my problem.
