*Heads up for any larger friends, including those with large busts!* You want the bottom of your sweater to be able to go past your widest parts until it's on all the way! Make sure to measure your WIDEST area for the bottom ribbing, not just your waist! This way, if you have a large bust for example, the bottom wont get caught on your bust and be unable to go any further! Also, because th3 actual circumference of the sweater is determined by the size of the bottom, you want to ensure that the sweater itself is large enough to fit comfortably over your whole torso! And if that's larger than your waist measurements, I say it's better to have a bit of a looser bottom than not have a sweater at all! However, I'm not an expert, I don't make patterns, but I'm guessing that you could also do a similar thing with the bottom ribbing that you do with the sleeves, if you want the bottom to be just a bit tighter than the rest of the sweater. I mean, you could probably do some increases directly after the bottom to make the front/back panels a bit wider! Also, as someone with very large upper arms but significantly smaller wrists and forearms, I'm going to try to see if I can alter the sleeves to start increasing again just before the elbow, to more tailor-fit my arms. I will be sure to update with if it works, and how exactly I did it if it does!

[@Life_With_Lady]

Yep thank you, Im a 2xxl and I was trying to figure out how to take care of that problem!

Thanks for this comment! Did you ever end up increasing on the sleeves? I want to make more baggy sleeves, I don’t like tight-fitting ones like she made, but idk how to go about it

[@MicahRion]

This is great info, thanks!

[@ChickOnRadio]

I was thinking the same thing especially about the upper arms to wrist.

I’ve been a knitted for years and recently I’ve been looking to try out some crochet projects, but this is the first I’ve seen where I actually want the end product. Most beginner projects are ugly and have no shape. I really love that you teach us how to fit it to our body and not just follow a pattern. Just casted on and subscribed! Would really love more content like this

[@bakingcookies420]

Ive made two sweaters by this guide this month! They’re so much warmer than a granny stitch sweater and you can make em as big or small as you want. Excellent tutorial! Thank you for posting (also your nails are 🔥, idk how ya do the claws and crochet! 10/10)

[@itserinb]

Ahhh thank you so much for this!! ❣️

[@bussraaydn]

Louis Partridge knitted this sweater with help from your video. 😭😭😭😭😭it is my turn

[@trees_louise]

I commeted a few days ago but just came back to say thank you. I just finished crocheting it, it was my first sweater and it turned out great. I had a little difficulty with the sizing of the arm. I just added a couple of increases as I got to the upper arm and it worked out perfectly!

[@itserinb]

Yes great idea! I mention in the video also that in the future if you want a looser fitting sleeve to add more increases on the increase row! ❣️❣️

[@trees_louise]

Yeah I tried adding the extra stitches at the beginning but it made the forearm too baggy in comparison to the top. So it worked out more evenly for me to just add an increase at the start and end of a row further up the arm! I only added maybe four rows of increases with five rows in between so you couldn’t even tell! I’m so in love with the sweater, might have to make another. Thanks so much for the tutorial, it was so helpful

[@itserinb]

I feel it, but welcome anyway I appreciate the support!! 😂💖

[@barbbrandon4634]

Have crocheted for over forty years but never attempted clothing. For this I decided to use a different stitch for the body of the sweater,....SC then DC in same chain, then skip a stitch and repeat. It gives it a fuller feel. Excited to complete the sweater and see how it turns out.

[@bettyweng1333]

I’ve always wanted to make a crotchet sweater ever since I started crotchet but have always been intimidated to make one or even start one since it’s rather a large project, so I don’t want to waste all this yarn and having to frog the whole thing and make the yarn unusable anymore, I’ve always been afraid of making one but your tutorial made it so I am confident to start to make my very first sweater your video is very informative on each and every step and made it easy to follow without confusion, very clear and to the point instructions I really am glad about that part. I’ve looked at many crotchet sweater tutorials before I found this one and each of the other tutorials they are all confusing and not as easy to make and they just like to make the whole ribbing part and not separate the body parts like your tutorial which makes it harder to follow and the instructions are not very clear and very cloudy it’s kind of almost making my mind fog up like I am afraid to make it but really I’ve always been afraid to make it and don’t want to waste yarn. So I’ve made it a point to actually start a crotchet sweater once I saw this tutorial. So thank you for making this tutorial I love it and I know it will turn out wonderfully I might take some pictures and post it

[@anagha8238]

Congrats girl! 😭🖤

[@helenmichelbach2345]

I just finished crocheting this sweater on holiday and made a matching hairband with the same yarn. I love how it turned out! The pattern was very easy to follow (also for beginners) and it looks great! If anyone wants to crochet the sweater and is looking for tips: make sure not to make the front and back panels too small, even if you want a form fitting sweater, because it might get pretty tight under your arms. Thanks for the pattern!

[@joriss3130]

Found this tutorial while looking for an easy pullover to crochet and I am so happy that you show us how to make it to fit our own size (which we then can convert to other sizes should we wish to make one for a friend or family...) All the other tutorials I have watched use a certain pattern which is leaving doubt if the fitting will be good. As a beginner I will put more hours into a project and if there is too much risk the project doesn't fit well, it becomes a bit of lost effort I think. In the end we want to wear the sweater and show it off instead of giving it away or leave it in the closet. 🤭 Especially the very first one ☺ So thank you for the explanation and for providing that bit of courage needed to start 😁

This is a fantastic video. Your instructions are so well explained. The only thing I'm wondering is how much total yarn is roughly used.

I've been crocheting for around 5 years on and off I'm self-taught through KZbin lol So I've obviously watched hundreds of videos and this is literally the best instructional video I've come across

[@leahian962]

I finally finished this sweater! your pattern and video were super easy to follow, it ended up looking cute. however, if you have a larger chest i would definitely recommend using measurements from the width of your chest rather than your waist because mine ended up pretty tight around my chest. also, i ended up adding more stiches for the width of the sleeve as i went (more width towards the shoulders) and i would recommend this too, because even with the extra stitches it is still tight around my upper arm. but for my very first sweater, not bad! i love the yarn you used in the video btw

[@Jaqueli9er]

[@graced.2174]

I loved this pattern but the first time I made it the panels ended up being wayyy too small to make a well-fitting sweater (didn't fit over my chest even though I am pretty average sized). I wouldn't recommend following the video exactly for people with any sort of bust but it is easily modifiable and I restarted and ended up with something awesome! I wanted an oversized sweater so I increased the width of the panels by about 50% (so multiply the panel measurement by 1.3 to 1.5 when doing the ribbing depending on how baggy you want it). It's also helpful to hold the ribbing over your bust to check size instead of waist as this will probably be the widest part the sweater will be fitting over. For starting the extended half double part of the sleeves, I worked three stitches into each row of ribbing which made good oversized sleeves and also gave it a cute puff sleeve effect. My usual sweater size is between medium and large and this turned out perfect (and also looks great on my sister who is a typical size medium). I used Caron macchiato and blossom cakes for these sweaters (took me about 3 cakes to make oversized sweater) because the color change is just perfectttt for this pattern (not like a weird self-striping situation). Macchiato is a wool blend and blossom is a cotton blend---I've made this with both and love both, but blossom is definitely easier to work with and snags less.
