Hiii, i don't know if you're gonna read this, but I've made a shrug using your tutorial and it was easy.😊 I find that you explain and showed really well which makes it easier for me to follow or make my own adjustments. I'm going to try and make this cute cardigan!!!❤ Keep up the good work Erin!!!👍🏼

[@joannperez3828]

BABES NOOO YOU DID NOT OMGGGGG AHHH

[@itserinb]

LOL yes I did! 💖

[@shainesantos3295]

Hiii! Love your video ❤ just want to ask how you made the v neckline 😊 thanks!

[@jygood3718]

Lovely👍👍

[@erikabilledo6635]

Hi!! How can I make the v-neck version bc I love it ahsjfasdfa 🥺

[@bohocottage2495]

This is incredible! How would you add sleeves if you wanted it for winter?

[@itserinb]

Just like my raglan sweater video!! After making the whole cardigan, go back to the sleeve opening and crochet in the round! 💖

[@annag125]

ATE

[@itserinb]

🍽️🍽️

[@malujan]

Yes!!. Yes!!.

[@aileenzuniga4184]

I wanted to use a fine #2 yarn i already have.... can I use it alone or should I double it up ? Beautiful cardigan I am in love and can't wait to start it!

[@itserinb]

You can use whatever weight yarn you’d like! Just make sure the sections are big enough as shown in the video 💖

[@nfaing]

This looks like a great project! Can I use fine cotton yarn to make a light summer cardigan?

[@itserinb]

Yes of course!! Cotton would be great 💖

[@amandarichard4739]

You are too good to us! I do have a question though. Did you actually do sleeves, or did you just leave them the way they were after you finished the body?

[@itserinb]

I personally didn’t add on any more sleeve length, I really dig the capped sleeve 💖

[@abrown9659]

Hi Erin when are you going to start on the community project

[@MissPuchinhaa]

At what point in the rise should I put the marker back in, on the first stitch or on the second stitch?

[@itserinb]

If you’re talking about the increases along the raglan section, put the stitch marker in the chain space!

[@Siphiwe._.1]

Hey
