Crocheting an Entire Outfit (as a beginner) Part One: The Fall Patchwork Cardigan 🍁🎃🍂

[@ikoxun]

🍁 since i forgot to put any helpful information in the description, I thought I would leave here some details of the cardigan! I apologize for not doing this sooner! also comment down below if you'd like a proper tutorial, so it'll be easier to understand the steps on how to make it ~ Yarn used: Mainstays 100% acrylic yarn and red heart 100% acrylic yarn. yarn is medium size 4 DK :) Grams used: 396 grams for each except the beige color, which was only 198 grams Hook size: 5mm crochet hook Square info: each square started with a chain of 22 stitches and continued making rows until i got to 5.5 inches. I'm sorry, i don't know how many rows i did for this ): Each square is 5.5 inches in width and 5.5 inches in length. Mainly everything was single crocheted. The ribbing and the cuffs were single crocheted into the back loops. The panels were slip stitched together. The process took over 60 hours to complete :o I stopped counting after, but it took so long because I was a beginner when making this video :) the more you crochet, the faster you get.

[@senait13]

Tutorial plsss!!! 💗 It looks amazing!

[@plant9288]

i just started making this and of ot helps anyone i did about 24 rows of single crochet to get to 5.5!!

[@jaimegoring7266]

I'd love to see a tutorial on how you made this sweater! It's super cute!!

Thank you so much! you are a goddess!! 💞✨

I can't believe you did that as a beginner the cardigan is so clean and the colours fit so well together woww I'm honestly impressed 👏👏♡

thank you so much! Honestly, i was going to give up because of the mistakes i kept making but i seriously wanted to at least try to finish it and i'm glad i did

I learned to crochet a week ago and I'm still on scarves, like DAMN....

[@FluffyPoopPrincess]

My thought exactly hahaha! "Oh nice, a seasoned crocheter wanting to do an outfit, that's always nic---EXCUSE ME??" I learned a thing or two!

[@weaselarmy5033]

honestly, i’ve been crocheting for about a month and a lot of us just kinda learn a couple of stitches and immediately start experimenting 😅

[@heaven328]

I didn't know how to crochet about a week ago but here I am now 7 squares into making this cardigan cus I'm friggin impulsive 😤

[@-Bbobati-]

The fact that she just learned how to crochet and made a whole cardigan I just amazing to me

[@brittanys1997]

Miss ma’am! I just started crocheting like a week ago and I’m already bored of scarves and blankets. I came on here to see how hard it would be to make a cardigan and seeing a fellow beginner making such a masterpiece inspired me! You’re really great at explaining something you’ve only just learned. Thank you so much queen 👸🏾

[@roonilwazlib5402]

Headbands with a twist and socks are also great beginner friendly things to chrochet :)

Wtf i can’t make a single thing I’ve been trying for months 😢

[@tashirose1244]

This would actually be priced at $1200+ if sold by a luxury brand like Dolce & Gabbana, LV, Diane V., etc. Great job! I'm subscribing just because I know that was A LOT of work and of course it's super cute.. looks great. It surprises how much crochet is under valued...but not by designers, they know no machine can create those stitches. Handmade is a luxury. PERIOD : ) : )

[@miems3201]

you SINGLE crocheted a whole cardigan as a beginner, woww im so proud😩 I’m a crocheter for almost ten years and I think I would rather die than crochet a cardigan with single crochet only☠️☠️ I would have found a way to use half double crochets or even extended half double crochets😂😂

[@ikoxun]

hahaha it wasn't until after i finished the project that i learned about hdc & dc and how the project could've taken less time if I had just chosen one of those instead.

[@RoyaleOrcMoss]

I’ve been crocheting for 2 months and I now how to double crochet but I made two hole ass cardigan’s in single crochert

[@tyblips]

Honestly same but it would be a cleaner look and le less wind thru so I'd probably cave n do it too LMAO. I'm prepping to make a sweater for valentines day... I apparently have a death wish but were headed into another lockdown in my area so whatever bring on the insanity 🤪

can you recommend a youtube channel for complete begginers that u think is actually easy to follow step by step ?

[@roanweasley6657]

i’m a crochet beginner too and this really makes me want to crochet my own cardigan! thanks for making this seem achievable

[@nocturnalmuse24]

Making such a large wearable as your first project! You should be so proud!!! I'd have torn my hair out attempting something like this as a beginner, this is extremely impressive. If you do keep up with the hobby I will assure you, it gets easier and less frustrating. And of course the lovely thing about crochet is, when you mess up you can just frog it and redo!

[@ikoxun]

trust me, i almost did tear my hair out trying to figure out how to do this correctly 😅 but you're absolutely right! I crochet a lot faster now because of how much crocheting i had to do for this project and it taught me so much so that other projects seem less daunting now :)

[@alainey]

What does frog it mean?

[@nocturnalmuse24]

@@alainey Froggin in crochet means to pull out your work. When you mess up you can just take the hook off and pull to undo some stitches

[@sydniee]

i was quite a seasoned crocheter when i made one of these cardigans about 2 years ago. the planning process is REAL. at the time of me making my cardigan there were almost NO videos on youtube of people making them, it was just starting to get popular. i’ve come to this video because im about to make another one and i’m watching a bunch of videos to see what people have learned and discovered as this style spiked in popularity. you say in here that you didn’t weave in the ends on the inside and just tied them and i want to mention that i did the exact same thing, but put a dot of fabric glue on every knot and i don’t have a single loose end after 2 years of HEAVY wear on my sweater. great video, and congrats on such a successful project as a beginner.

[@abi_rose]

this colour scheme is so nice! definitely gonna do something similar once i actually finish my last crochet cardigan i started 6 months ago haha

[@ikoxun]

ahhhh do it!!

[@valeriegonzalez4316]

Oh what!?!?! She said "FIRST I need to learn to crochet!" -mind blown- Mad courage and tenacity.

[@kkyulmin]

this one of the cutest cardigans I’ve ever seen 😭 I’d legit buy it in a heartbeat

[@AcrophobicPixie]

I wouldn't change a thing! The chonky sleeves seem to be coming into fashion, so you are ahead of the trend! Very well done for a beginner! Make your tails longer so it is easier to weave in the ends, or use them for the sewing up.

[@emeliaramirezsegundo3875]

Hola buenos días tengo una duda, cuántas cadenas son los cuadros

[@mimiz7937]

I like chunky sleeves, regardless if it is in style or not 😊

[@Views_of_Eight]

I’ve been crocheting for 2 years. 2 YEARS, and I’ve only just started trying more ambitious projects like this (mostly only made amigurumi plush toys) and THIS was one of your first projects?! I’m super impressed and love how it turned out

[@biillis..]

as someone who just crochets stuffed animals this is so cool, i am amazed with what you can do! i kinda wanna try to make more clothes now!

[@ikoxun]

definitely do it! you have no limitations on what you can create

"Just crotchets animals" WHAT I have seen how difficult it looks. Way harder than a blanket or something.

[@avapappas3650]

I started my first square legitimately a year ago, gave up, and I’m back this fall with 30 more squares and I WILL be finishing this cardigan! Thank you.

[@-wandering_soul-8778]

How is it going? 😊

[@andreyalves3040]

i need the update

[@emeliastern3180]

If you crochet over the ends while attaching the squares together it means you don't have to weave in the ends while also securing them!

[@eloisamena7863]

the amount of dedication, consistency and patience it takes to do this... I'm crocheting a tote bag right now, I could never do this. and yarn is so expensive and the whole process is frustrating and tedious, I'm so impressed and proud of you 🤧 the colors are so fcking pretty and overall... it took my breath away how amazing it looks love. i love the fact that the sleeves are chunky and puffed, I love the color combo and how cute it is, keep doing what you do

[@averywilson1076]

Wow I’m so impressed I saw the tittle and thought you’d be an experienced crocheter, you did an amazing job! I hope you continue crochet work

[@ikoxun]

thank you so much!!

[@sadiebeast97]

I have been crocheting for a lot of years, probably more than you have been alive. 😋 I have never successfully made a sweater. So, here you are, just decided to figure out how to crochet and then created your own pattern, and made this really cool cardigan. Please continue to crochet, you have a real talent!!!

[@Doink935]

I am speechless. It’s beautiful, literally amazing. I here to stay after that, that’s raw talent and you really made that entire thing on the first try. I screamed when I saw it at the end

[@ikoxun]

thank you so much this means so much 🥺 🥺

[@darkenroses]

Quite literally, this was the first video I'd ever seen by you and whenever I feel like I'm in a slump, I'll rewatch it. I grew up around a master crocheter who'd tried teaching me, but no matter how many times she'd showed me the stitches, I couldn't get it right and would give up. You and your videos helped me figure it out. And currently, I'm taking the plunge and making my own cardigan.

[@notracheal]

finding it hard to believe you’re a beginner omg it’s soo neat you did an amazing job :))

[@BallerinaValkyrie]

I love that your first project was an entire sweater. Mine was a poorly done rectangle, and then a lopsided fox made of circles.

[@brandibucko]

1:58 in and I can’t NOT subscribe. You’re wonderful! Also, you did this as a beginner?! I am years into crocheting and I’m still accidentally increasing and decreasing on every project 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@marceybee119]

I got recomended this video on April and i immediately got into crochet because of it, my goal was to make this exact cardigan with crochet, i practiced doing scarves and mittens, but then i got into knitting and oh boy! Although i do like crochet stitches, i personally find stockinette stitch way more cute and fitting better on a sweater/cardigan, so recently i got my straight needles, practiced doing some projects that came out beautiful; I am ready! I bought the yarn! Its been only 2 weeks with me only having the time to knit on Sundays and i already have both front panels done, this is so fast! I'm so excited to have it done, its looking so cute so far!! Thank you for getting me into crochet and knitting, i didn't know i could like this so much nor i could do such cute wearable things with my hands, you're a great inspiration!

Just a tip, if you’re having trouble with the hook or the other hand holding the yarn, mess around with it and hold them differently. I started holding the hook knife style and found out I suck at it and can only crochet now in pencil style. This is so beautiful! Looking to do it in a chunky yarn and I’m using this tutorial to figure out how to put it together!

Don't know if you still crochet, but corner-to-corner is a great and quick way to whip up blankets. Even a queen size can be done in less than a month (I take lots of breaks) but baby blankets can be done in a day or two if you don't do much else.

Great job! Yes the weaving in the ends takes a lot of time but you sew in the ends every time you finish a block it will help. It’s cleaning up your room .. if you put your dirty clothes in a basket each time you take it off you spend less time cleaning. I hope that helps. I like the over size sleeves.. .when it’s cold outside they will keep your hands warm. Happy crocheting!
