Hi everyone! So sorry but I made a mistake in the video! The Front Panel section ends with row 14 and the Back Panel should have 32 rows! The total rows number is correct. You can find the pattern on the blog - forthefrills.com/chunky-textured-button-cardigan-free-crochet-pattern Happy crocheting, Grace :)

[@ImKodiBrooks]

So the pattern online has the correct number of rows and everything? I just thought I finished the body using the pattern but I’m noticing my rows and even the final number of stitches are off. I’m gonna have to redo it but I wanted to make sure I’m getting it right.

Hi Gracie !! This cardigan looks lovely, purple is a nice color on you 💟 I hope it doesn’t get you down, but it made me really sad to see dislikes on this video. They really don’t understand the talent, effort and patience it takes to create an original design, complete it, nor do they know the kindness to share their hard work with others, FOR FREE. Please know that there are so many people, myself included, that so greatly appreciate that you make this accessible to us. I love your designs, and teaching, it would be so sad if you stopped. Don’t let the haters stop you from doing what you love!! And thank you for sharing your pattern and giving us a tutorial. 🥰♥️

[@BecBec2015]

Agreed! You’re my have crochet tutorial on KZbin!

[@silviasantana1654]

👏👏👏👏

[@khadijaaboo9184]

Thank you so much . Hoping I crochet a cardigan for my daughter. Trying hard acquiring yarn In South Africa .

[@ruthdavis1376]

I love how you explain what you are doing when you do it thanks so much my favorite color is purple looks very nice on you thanks for your video

[@minini5571]

The construction of this cardigan is absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing!💕

[@BonnieShaljean]

I love this! I was just looking for a chunky cardi for my next winter project, and this one's perfect. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

[@angrypanda5042]

Thank you for another lovely wearable garment. Take best care and stay safe.

[@summerwhitlock6698]

Thank you so much for this video! I just made it for the upcoming winter season in a burgundy color and everyone tells me it looks so professional - of course it's all thanks to your pattern and demo :) this was my second successful piece of real clothing (other than scarves and hats I mean) so I really appreciate that you make your designs so accessible.

[@createdbycaroline]

Oh my goodness the stitch is so beautiful, as is that purple yarn! This looks so pretty, I’m adding it to my list 💕

[@ginareyeswoo1705]

It’s a beautiful chunky cardigan & very easy to follow as well. Thank you for sharing your pattern, I very much appreciate your step by step instructions!!!😉💐🤗

[@suzannewlaschin7900]

Made this for my daughter in the bamboo green colour. She LOVES it! Wish I could upload a photo of her wearing it.

[@2307]

This is the best pattern for a cardigan on You Tube. Absolutely lovely. Would love to see more exciting stitches like this video for other garments. Love everything about this cardigan. Excited to see your next video🥰💋💋

[@Stretch-bh8pd]

I like how you are making the body in one piece and how you do your rubbing at the same time. I have never crochet anything in bulky yarn in all my 35 plus years of crocheting

[@penneyburgess5431]

Cool stitch. Never seen a 1 1/2 stitch crocheted like that. Thank you.

[@eltsimpidi]

that's the best cardigan crochet tutorial I've ever seen 😍 VERY pretty and great instructions, thank you!

[@christieverarde3350]

I’ve made 3 of these so far. My friends love them. Easy construction. I finish each in about 5 days without much effort.

[@shraddhabayar]

That’s amazing Christie, Could you please tell which yarn you use normally to make this? Since biggo is discontinued, I was thinking of using Lion brand scarfie..

[@jaznz53]

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. Your cropped cardi is beautiful and quick to make. Thank you 😊

[@doreenfrederick4749]

I love the looks of this stitch .

[@heidiheidibobide]

This looks so achievable! I think I'm ready to graduate to clothing other than hats and scarves! Thank you!

You are so talented and so generous. This is gorgeous. LOVE the stitch pattern!! (So need to play with a pullover with this stitch as well.) Thank you so much!

[@dimitriacrosse2468]

So excited to create! I always appreciate video with written pattern and the photos should make it real simple. I got premier anti pilling bamboo chunky in the color blueberry pie! I had to go buy a hook cause I usually don’t do size 9 hook and I ended up with same hook as yours. Now to finish reading g pattern before getting started!

[@silviahirschmann8717]

Beautiful and Perfect! 👏👏👏👏👏👏💟💟💟💟💟

[@linedanzer4302]

Yes! I love this cardigan! I just purchased the pattern on Etsy and can't wait to get started. Thank you!!

[@trisviktor776]

Beautiful work! Love the stitch and textured look. Brilliant.

[@Twinkley1981]

Love this. Great job. 👍🏼 Finally I’ve found a beautiful V neck cropped crochet cardigan that I like the look of and would wear myself. These type of cardigans are perfect for this time of year autumn/winter. I like a cropped cardigan so I can wear as is, or with a jacket over the top when it’s very cold. Now I will have to buy some yarn in the same weight then get it on the hook. Thank you 😊🧶

[@stephaniemcdougal6190]

[@soc0zepal479]

Es hermoso!!!! 😍👌 Puedes hacer más suéter en cuello V por favor? Saludos desde México! 🇲🇽👋♥️

[@alicenorvilas7183]

The rows count isn't right to me.... You stared the back panel at row 15?

[@suzannewlaschin7900]

I am making this cardigan for my daughter. I notice that you say to crochet "front loop hdc and then back loop hdc" until right before the increases end, and then you switch to saying crochet "back loop hdc and then front loop HDC" after that. Is this deliberate? It's a gorgeous design and I am eager to complete it.

[@newyorkhouse]

Wow, this is so beautiful and I have some chunky yarn to male it with! Just one question, how many grams did you use for the small pattern? Thank you so much!

[@neidelimamartins2933]

Parabéns seu trabalho é sensacional 👏 incrível 🤩

[@Wishing.Impossible]

Beautiful 💞😍

[@leticiacastillo6550]

Beautiful. Can this be made with a longer torso?

[@darcyhess1947]

Hi this cardigan is so cute! I’m wondering if it will turn out okay if I use a #4 medium yarn and a k/6.5 mm hook? Thanks!

[@laurelgirard8475]

You can try 2 strands of weight #3 (dk) or #4 (worsted) to achieve this. Just one strand of4 weight might not give the same definition. Even a strand of #3 and a strand of #4 would work.

[@carolkoussaya1543]

when you end with front loop HDC on one side then turn your work, when you get to the HDC's do you start with FLHDC or BLHDC to make this pattern?

[@artisfun6587]

Thank you so much for the patteren. Is the foundation chains that you are doing, the width or the lenght?

[@artisfun6587]

I want to change the lenght of the cardigan so should i just work in multiple of 2?

[@shraddhabayar]

Beautiful pattern Gracie! Since biggo is discontinued, I was thinking of making this in Lion brand scarfie. But I see that they recommend a 6.5 mm hook. I’m not sure if it’ll give the same look. Can you please advise?

[@murielengelskirchen1548]

Magnifiqueeeeee ,j'adore quelle beau travail🐞🌹🌻🌺 ,désolée ,je ne trouve pas la taille 38\40

[@santhiyasuresh5226]

Hi it's me Sandhya from India....awesome work I jus it... I want to dis one...is dis pattern used for medium sized ppls also...could ple explain...tq

[@marichat8086]

please do a collared cardigan tutorialll

[@Allia1609]

Hello, thank you for such a lovely pattern, I absolutely enjoy making it. However I'm having an issue with the row count. I'm making size M and according to your guide the front panel has 24 rows (8 + 16 until the sleeve opening). The back panel only has 34 which is only slightly wider than the front panel. According to my logic, the back panel should have at least twice as many rows as the front panel in order for the two front panels to not overlap each other...right? I'm really lost here, please help 😲😲

[@felixmariagattuso5773]

Lindo me encantaría seguir tu tutorial, es posible traducir al español?

[@anavieira392]

Its wonderful, but couldnt find the xs pattern. Anyone knows? Thank you
