Crocheting my dream Pinterest sweater

[@savannah263]

Someone probably already mentioned but the reason it was wavy after the ribbing is because you increased by putting more blue stitches than green ribbing rows! Also I would HIGHLY suggest using a single or half double crochet stitch for the ribbing! It will allow more stretch and go by sooo much faster

[@savannah263]

Also is you sew it together on the inside you can’t see the slip/single crochet stitches. Then for the sleeves when you are working in the round instead of doing the stitch from the inside of the circle out work around the circle. That way you see the nice front of the stitches when you wear it!

[@jennamakesbugs]

If you measure your gauge, then you will know how many stitches it takes to equal the height of a certain number of rows. For example, if you measure a 4x4" patch and are getting 18 stitches wide to 20 rows high then you will know to edge with 18 stitches per 20 rows OR, IOW, skip every 9th row.

[@kariowens4380]

Pink and yellow front is way better 💖

[@cactopus6215]

Thank you for almost completely eradicating my fear of making a sweater. You taught me that it is okay to not be perfect, and messups are inevitable. Feel inspired

[@JMBBrasil]

Yeah, if you are making it for yourself it’s definitely not a problem.

[@b00bala64]

I was once told by a phenomenal knitter/ crochet 92 yr old woman….there are no mistakes only character in our projects. If you wanted a perfect article buy one machine made! Love ❤️ your sweater!

[@jetaquatics621]

You are amazing. Thank you for sharing ❤️ I love character, so I'm choosing handmade also 💕💞

[@janakatharina2610]

a little tip.. when you do the ribbing you can do a row of single crochets after finishing it „on top“ like on the side you want your blue yarn to go later.. then it‘s easier to find places to go in with the blue yarn later and it looks a bit more even? I hope I explained it good enough in my bad english🤓

[@bellamy6086]

wow this is such a great tip, i’ve never thought of this!! thank you!! :)

[@bry_crochet]

I do that! It easier to join seams that way.

[@Angeliino]

I appreciate Jenna’s attitude soo much she makes me so happy

[@KateRussellVideos]

Jenna is a whole FASHION DESIGNER

If not she should be

Yes we don’t need no models when we have her 😝

[@angelaoickle5607]

😬😬

[@KirreWayne]

You're such a inspiration. I started crochet 6 days before with years of "no I won't make this, that's to tricky" and I'm pretty impressed by myself how fast I learned and do things, but the confidence to make something to wear is so far away, but today I saw your video and your last words shooted me "I've never done a sweater before" girl you're so cool 😭 someday I will wake up, and I will make a sweater too and I will think about you 💪🧶

[@JuliaPAP-xh9mw]

yessss jenna crocheting is everything

They asked me how I felt abt ur comment.. I said relatable dndjsjsk

@@yourmomsshoebox2803who asked you?

[@joanna6991]

jenna! i came back to this video because it was the first video of yours that i ever watched, about two weeks ago? and i've been hooked on your videos since. what i love the most about your videos is that you show your mess-ups, and having to redo things over and over, and of course the amazing finished products which are so motivating. i am someone that was extremely artistically gifted as a child but now as an adult i NEVER do any art. but after watching your videos, i have found that artsy little girl inside of me and am just allowing myself to let loose with my creativity and have fun!!! something i haven't allowed myself to do in ages. since the start of 2022 i have already started and finished 2 projects: my first ever amigurumi project (a little whale) and just completed a beautiful crochet hat yesterday. i am allowing myself to make mistakes, do things over, play, learn new things, and my brain is buzzing with joy. i have a list of projects i want to do this year and will make a concentrated effort to weave these projects into my daily life and into my self-care routine because it helps SO MUCH. i love how you literally just go for it in your projects without fear of making a mistake, it has helped me to overcome that within my self a good deal. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO FIND MY ARTISTIC INNER CHILD, I HAVE NOT BEEN THIS HAPPY IN A LONG TIME!

[@sofieeisabelle]

Finally someone without a perfect plan! That’s exactly what I needed, totally gonna crochet an uneven sweater 🫶

[@lila-bp9fl]

16:32it's actually called an invisible decrease, there are ways to do that with other types of stitches as well!

[@donatellaandricothecat]

instead of doing slip stitch ribbing you can do half double crochet ribbing which is a lot faster:) also working in the round would be a lot easier

[@CatherineCane]

i always do ribbing in half double crochet, slip and single are too slow! can confirm it works fine, i use it for hat bands

[@marceruiz5039]

me just watching a bunch of her crochet vids to encourage myself to finish my crochet project

[@AlethaOberdier]

Love this and love that you just went for it without a pattern! Very fun 70s vibe to the colors and shape. Well done, i want to try now!

[@FelineOcelotLady]

Watching you make sweaters has inspired me to finally finish a sweater I started back in 2018. Now I'm halfway through the second sleeve!

[@Ali-xj8lf]

You should try knitting w chunky needles ! I find it way quicker X

[@waanrasita4543]

I just want to say you are so chill and made crochet looks super easy!!!!! Some vdos made me stressed by just watching it!!!!! Thanks for the this!

[@asaltyem0826]

Some advice for other people who want to try this. For ribbing you can the same thing she did working only in the back stitch but just with single crochets. You can also go along when you finish the rubbing and to make stitches to crochet in you can single crochet twice in each hole she showed.

[@wlammy4ever]

I thought Benson was your husband and when you called him little and wanted to take him on walks in a matching sweater, I was just nodding along because it sounded like a great idea 😂

[@angelbarker5544]

Omg this comment!😂😂

[@kayla7562]

@@angelbarker5544 this just made me smile so much reading her comment. 😂💙

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Turned out fantastic! I am inspired to do this too. I made crochet socks with no pattern - they get better each one I make. You can use a smaller crochet hook to work the ends in instead of a needle.

[@joycehunter7435]

The sweater really came out nice. I love watching you crochet and sew. Can ‘t wait to see Benson’s.

[@annavanderwal990]

You already saw it... it the dog😂

[@christine8394]

I just love your attitude to crafting. You just go for it and you're so entertaining. love watching you although not sure I'm brave enough to try your patterns

[@annecanright4890]

One thing you could do is to thread needles with different colors and stitch patterns into the surface of the sweater. I am a huge textile fan and even tho I don't knit sweaters I do a lot of other work with fabric so I love working a surface with different textures. You could even sew patches of cotton fabric onto the surface of the crochet.

[@annettelundy7426]

I'm SUPER inspired by this. I think I'll try making a sweater, today!! Thanks so much for this video.

[@anushreeburagohain9867]

if you want the ribbing to work up faster, you can single/half double crochet into the back loops instead of slip stitching:) also, about how many yards of yarn did you use?

[@shell0653]

I love how chill you are. You do it for fun and love to create. It’s amazing

[@shell0653]

Omg it was your first sweater!! Niiiice

[@KaitKait]

Crochet is life 🧶

[@xuchianicolefernandez1838]

I love watching these types of videos

[@juliepetersen8711]

a great tip i use a lot is, when starting the stitches from the ribben, make the first row the same color as the ribben. That makes the final product look much more put together :) hope it helps

[@notgonnasharemychips7372]

I just wanted to say I've noticed when double crocheting and turning your work my edges are straighter when I just chain 1 instead of 2. And also I crochet so much I love these videos!

[@sheripride428]

Wow! I’m so impressed! I can make the heck out of blankets! But never tried a sweater

[@missbelle9159]

I actually like growing the arm from the sweater. It gives me more of an idea of how it's gonna look and fit and I like having a big project on my lap. I like making bigger things like sweaters bc of that reason. I watched your sweater vest video too and you are very skilled! It's nice watching people get into the hobby and make things they are gonna wear. You are creating a memory with yourself.

[@jilllarson5010]

To decrease it, you could also put your hook through the first loop of two different stitches and put your double crochet in those two

[@GrammieWilliams]

You are just too cute... I love how you just do your own thing.... They are all adorable...

[@TarotLadyLissa]

for ribbing, i count my rows of ribbing, and do that many stitches across. So if you did 80 rows, then you'd make sure you have 80 double crochets across (include your chain 3 at the beginning).

[@sarahb.6475]

That is just so amazing that you made an entire sweater so quickly!!

[@l.r.6826]

HDC in back loops create my all time fave ribbing I think c: Loooove the colours you chose for this sweater! Can’t wait to make my own this year :D

[@shirleycarter2451]

Love that you just make it up and never seen ribbing done like that,have you ever followed a pattern? I'm making a Habitat cardigan by "Make do Crew" they do writen instructions and a video. Most crocheting will stretch unless using full cotton, if it was me I'd have frogged back so colour didn't run out half way threw a row. I've made most of my patterns connecting straight under the arm and alway s/c first, then you decrease as you go down. First time ever I'm doing a large cuff by using a hdcflo (Half double crochet front loop only).🥴🙂🙃 Jumper looks so cosy and warm, can't wait to see Benson's sweater. Xxx

[@joshmomo2917]

I love your sweater! And i love that you developed your crocheting skill

[@laurelgirard8475]

Don’t stretch the ribbing. If you stretch it too far it won’t bounce back. It might be easier to do a row of single crochet to even up your stitches before you do the double crochet stitches. It takes practice. Your sweater is looking really long. For a small size it should be about 19 inches front & back , so about 38 inches wide. All of the measurements are on line if you need them. For a first sweater, its easier to do panels. A rectangle for front, back, and each sleeve.

[@svetlanabarshtein1783]
