Darling Cardigan Knit Tutorial w/ Double Knitted Buttonband

[@junimondify]

I have no intention of knitting a cardigan right now, yet I watched the whole video. It's just nice to hear you smile while you talk about the things you obviously enjoy.

Дякую. Дуже сподобалось пояснення, зрозуміло.❤

I started with her Sunday Brunch Sweater, a free pattern which she has a video tutorial. I wear it so much in fall/winter.

[@patriciadasilva2017]

Saaaame!

[@nickiethesaint316]

You are a wonder! I love all of your designs. I also appreciate you doing these videos!!

[@nancyhomen9347]

Thank you for the instructions for increasing on the knit and especially the purl stitches 🧶

[@jenniferknowles2023]

Kika, I LOVE that green colored cardigan! I don't often wear green, but I would wear the heck out of that! ❤

[@annettebowersox1976]

Just purchased off Ravelry. The only reason is because you took the time to make this tutorial. I am new to sweaters, but I can look at the sweater and come up with a close match….But it takes ma a long time!!! I am most willing to pay a moderate amount to save me all that time. Thank You!!

[@Enig_Mata]

Excellent tutorial. I like the tips you have included like marking the first and last stitches after casting to make it easier when picking up stitches later on.

[@FeistySquirrel88]

Thank you so much for making these tutorials! My brain can’t handle following a written pattern, so these are amazing for me! 😅

[@annac.954]

Thank you for the instructions. I'm a beginner in knitting, and I still haven't done my 1st sweater, but with the video I feel more comfortable and I support your work fully 🙂 I have just purchased the pattern and I can't wait to knit this cardigan 🥰

[@AliciaCabrera-xu2mw]

I loved watching this so much! I love your smile and positive energy. I learned sooo much! Thank you for being you. You are so kind and wonderful.

[@Heyjemm]

What a simple but delightful design :)) thank you for this in depth tutorial!

[@ColleenNichol-n8z]

Well, I've been waiting for this. Can't wait to buy the yarn. Love it in the grey. Thank you for all the work you do. ❤😊

[@saraw6710]

oooo love the green one!! I'm currently knitting the salty days sweater, and its such a fun knit!! I print everything off in extra large and use sticky notes to follow where I am in the pattern lol! love what you do and all the tutorials - Thank you from Canada!!

[@acekreates]

The way you explained M1L and M1R makes me feel confident as a baby knitter that I could do this. It just clicked because you explained it so well. Adding this to my ravelry queue!!

[@MikiCrespo]

Darling Cardigan is absolutely beautiful 🩷

[@светланабелова-в9х]

Hello, Lady! Right now, i am enjoying watching your blog ❤, i guess you are my favorite knitter on KZbin! I have knitted such a cardigan like your pink one! Thank you for inspiring ❤ wish you happiness ❤happiness ❤

[@Hannah-sj7lk]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial! As a beginner it was really easy for me to follow along and the cardigan turned out so nice 🥰🙏

[@AliciaCabrera-xu2mw]

Oh! And I plan to try knitting this cardigan next. Your explanations were pretty clear and i appreciate it so much.

[@louonadventures4312]

Kika, you are such an angel for giving us a visual tutorial with your pattern, I cant wait to start a mindless pattern while spending a cozy day on the couch. 🥰 Also thank you for including the double knitted buttonband! I'm currently knitting the jacket no. 1 by my favorite things and I could not figure out how to do it! I was getting so frustrated that I even considered to frog it all 😅 But now I have new motivation to finish it and show it off to the world! 😍🎉 Thanks to you! ❤

[@NS-qm7oz]

Здравствуйте! Очень красивый кардиган! У вас стильный, эстетичный канал, смотреть одно удовольствие! Я еще только начинаю делать первые шаги в мир вязания и глядя на вас, ваши М.К., у меня огромное желание научиться вязать также❤ Спасибо вам!❤😊

[@bethanysikaras3806]

Love this buttonband technique! Don’t love having to pick up stitches around the whole cardigan, but the end result will be worth it. 😊

[@bsuxeo05]

It’s absolutely gorgeous result. I have never seen such a technique. But pay attention that you pick up the same amount of stitches for both sides. I had to rip out mine and do it again 😂 but its so worth it ❤

[@olgaknit]

Thank you for this video helping a lot go through the written pattern ❤ you’re such a positive person 🤗😘

[@tambiraarmmand598]

Love this and am intrigued by the double knit button band! Buying pattern and stash diving for yarns!

[@LOVEaSYMPHONY]

I absolutely LOVE every single video you did! I am always knitting my own stuff while listening to your tutorials or something, and I am getting instantly calm because of your music and your voice. I am so so happy every single time you're uploading a new video. Thanks for that! *-*

[@Tashaygm]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial, Kika! I just laid my Darling Cardigan out for blocking and I'm so pleased with how it knit up.

[@hannahskiba4886]

I wish all knitting patterns had a tutorial! 😅 Thank you so much for this. This is my first Kika pattern and I am so excited about this!

[@LotteTopper80]

I made the cardigan and i love it. I am learning how to knit because of your tutorials. Thank you so very much!

[@bethany5830]

Thank you for making these tutorials. I'm learning to knit with your tutorials as I'm not confident enough yet to take on a pattern without very clear visual instruction. Love Lace Tank is my goal... working on Sailor Swift right now and just gauge swatched for this cardigan with two strands for the first time. 💕 Will probably knit everything you have these amazing videos for. Dreaming of a short-sleeved button-up cardigan/t-shirt for summertime... 🙏 Thanks for sharing your pregnancy journey too! 👶💙

[@knitgirl.7676]

I absolutely love this cardigan. I have been waiting for this pattern to be released. I just bought it and I can’t wait to get started. I see a few of these in my future. I also love how versatile this is for different yarns- I have a huge Drops Air stash that I need to use and this is perfect! Thanks so much for such a great pattern!

[@jensbart]

I'm just starting my own darling cardi today! I had another button down cardi that I lost (crying forever) but I *just* have enough of the yarn to remake it in this pattern ❤ so excited!

[@lauris5708]

I love this cardigan, particularly the placket. I've not seen that technique on a placket before and it really finishes the sweater off nicely. I might give this one a try. :)

[@stek.8982]

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

I love your knits. I can’t wait to see what you do in 2024. I definitely want to take on lavender this year. I can’t knit many sweaters since I live in Florida. But lace tops make my knitting extra feminine and just as challenging as sweater knitting. Happy knitting !🧶 😊

Спасибо Кика! Всех благ и удачи. Берегите себя ❤️

Fabulous….. just purchased pattern. It will be added to your knitting book. Thanks Kika 🎶😉🎶

Oh grazie...aspettavo che uscisse il pattern... che ovviamente prendo subitooooo....sei fantastica bravissima 😊

[@Kraftukatt]

I’ll definitely be adding this to my knitting queue. I’ve never made a cardigan before as the button band has always scared me, but I love your tutorials and have made several of your patterns already, plus im currently working on the Love Letter Top at the moment, so I know I’ll be in safe hands. I have some Drops Karisma and Drops Mohair in my stash, so I’ll have to swatch it and see if I can get gauge. It’s such a beautiful cardigan ❤

I have been loving the look of your knitwear since I have discovered you weeks ago.

Especially with great videos like this one to acompany them so thank you for that!

Thank you so much for making the videos. Even as an experienced knitter, I find these very helpful. Especially some of the increases that I never understood how to do. And now I do, so big thank you 😊 Can’t wait for the pattern of the pride and pearls cardigan. What a beautiful cardigan. I can’t get that yarn where I live. But I was recently in Oslo, Norway and got the yarn. They even had it on sale 🥳as they are discontinuing it at that store.

[@Kamilazaa]

First!!! I love all your videos! :D

Hi Kika! Thanks for this great tutorial! This was my first knitting project and I absolutely fell in love with knitting. I followed this video along with the pattern. I don’t know why my front ended up a bit shorter than the back side 🤔 I’m going to do another one with a mohair yarn this time and try to fix what went wrong! Just a huge thank you for your amazing work and for sharing these tutorials, absolute gem for beginners specially! 🧶✨

[@carrotlover7763]

That is impressive, most people start with a scarf or something simple. Congratulations on the accomplishment.

[@dianalopez7345]

I love your passion for knitting. Such precious projects presented by a very likeable and natural person. Great job. 👍 But I've got one (I think an important) question. Did you ever think about where your wool yarn is coming from and how much pain is included? I don't want to stop you from knitting but the wool industry is so cruel and it is important to think and acting with responsibility while buying wool yarn. Thank you for your videos.

[@agnesadyana7344]

It’s beautiful 😍. Will buy the pattern. ❤

Thank you a lot for your videos , best wishes to you. 😊

[@crybabyknots8005]

Thank you🤍🤍 can I use acrylic because it’s that’s the only yarn available in my country

[@JulieLeChef]

Whoa - your Italian cast on for the button band just blew my mind! I have only ever seen it done so that the knit stitch must be knit through the back loop on the first row. Do you have a tutorial for this kind of Italian cast on? Can this be applied in the round as well? Thanks so much, your videos are excellent 💛

[@uteprinz8225]

Very good sample...I like to do that also you have done....bestimmt regards and my best whishes for the Baby you are waiting just in time.....

Thank you I love your tutorials it makes it soooooo much easier to understand the pattern.

[@DivinelyGuided2911]

Beautiful! 😎

[@helenheppel2956]

Awesome tutorial! One question: why not picking up the stitches starting on the right side, so that we can use the same yarn for the start of the buttonband on the left side? Thank you :)

So pretty! How doable is this for a beginner?

[@danielletrottier6699]

I Thank you for all your fantastic work …I enjoy your videos…I really like this cardigan, but the only thing I don’t really like is the decreases for the shoulder… iI don’t like how it looks…is it necessary or I can skip it and do the back a little bit smaller and have less picked up stiches. That’s the only thing that stopped me…. Thank you
