A Bouquet of Ranunculus Sweaters | Edible Thoughts Makes

Hello!
Welcome to Edible Thoughts Makes. My name is Stephanie (she/her/hers). In this video I chat about all the Ranunculus sweaters I have knit! Each one uses different yarn and has modifications made based on the fit and function I was aiming for.

So after seeing this video, I decided I also wanted to skip the German short, rows on the front of the sweater, but I’m not sure from the instructions where to start the next step. I completed the German short, rows for the back of the sweater, and I’m ready to go to the front of the yoke. Can you share that information with me please?

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

@@LDunn-kb3po For round one of section three, knit a rnd to resolve the double stitches. There won’t have a center front marker to remove because the front short rows were skipped. Continue with round two as written.

[@LDunn-kb3po]

Thank you I will try this! 😊Love all the detailed information that you share!! I’m very excited to try to knit this the way you made your sweaters.❤ I will share a photo after it is completed. 👍

[@angelaschapiro4268]

I love your detailed video. You are clever. I love all of your sweaters. Which yarn do you suggest for a very warm climate?

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you! That’s really up to you to experiment! How warm someone feels and tolerance for heat is so subjective. That being said I would recommend yarns with plant fiber options! Or maybe try something that results in a looser fabric for more air flow.

[@sharonh9239]

Sun dragon tips and tricks has a series of videos on this sweater.

[@loispatrick2594]

I haven't knitted a Ranunculus yet. I must admit that i was put of too with the fit of the original jumper, but seeing yours knit in so many different yarns and weights gives me the urge too finally knit one and get the lovely fit that your garments are! ❤

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

You can do it! Cheering you on!

[@lynnerobyn]

This was the most helpful Ranunculus video I’ve watched. Thank you so much!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you!😊

[@peggybrown4783]

Beautiful work, but I especially learned a lot from listening to how you modified the pattern, yarn, and needles in so many ways. Thank you for sharing your insights.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thanks! So glad you found it helpful! 😊

[@crec78900]

Thank you so much for showing us how versatile this pattern is! Your sweaters are all beautiful and are very flattering on you. It is nice to be able to customize to get the fit you want and you did a brilliant job of that. I have knit one version of this pattern and am working on another. I think my next one will be more fitted with some waist shaping and without the front short rows on the neck. You have inspired me! Thank you so much!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

You are so welcome! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@maryjolaposta5582]

I, too have made many ranunculi. I love the pattern. I have found myself purposefully purchasing yarn for different pattern …..and then saying…” I think I’ll make another ranunculus ! Most recently I’ve completed some with an unsound yarn. It looks and feels like a different pattern

[@christybray8789]

Stephanie, you are definitely making me want to knit another ranunculus! I love that soft color that you’re wearing and it really does show off the stitches well. My first one I did was a beautiful royal-ish colored blue but I did it really loosely with really large needles and I don’t like it anymore. In fact, I have it in my Goodwill pile, but I’m considering starting a KZbin channel for knitting and I thought I should keep it just to demonstrate. Anyway. I also made one for my mother and then I made another one for myself that I decided to wash it and dry it a little bit and it actually shrunk and felted a little bit, but I ended up loving that version of it! So both of the ones that I have made, I only wear layered over a big oversize shirt and now I want to make one that can just stand alone and be a much tighter weave. I have finally figured out that I do not like a loose Woven sweater top layer. I just end up snagging it on things all the time. And I have two big dogs and they’ll paw me and there goes another snag and then I get mad and I don’t wanna be mad or frustrated by anything that I have on. Life throws enough of that on its own. OK, lots of rambling to say thanks that’s a great Video that I will be referring back to many times! 😊

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

So much we can learn from the process and wearability of each sweater! Thanks for sharing!! Take care❤️❤️❤️

[@RossLeonardy]

Beautiful work!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you very much!

[@lucylai4910]

So glad I found your YT channel! Thank you for doing this video. Love that you made multiples, all different. I am working on mine and it’s been struggle but I’m encouraged to push through because you’ve shown that it’s worth the work because you made multiple versions. Thank you again. Definitely keep up these videos. I love when knitters share what they made rather than what they want to make. They can share their experience and review and that’s valuable to me. Definitely subscribing to your channel.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Cheering you on!!

[@stacya3751]

All beautiful pullovers! Love how you made them in various yarns and the details. The green one really stood out to me.

Love your cream coloured ranunculus- very versatile. Have only knit one ranunculus and I didn’t do the front short rows and I’m really happy with the neckline Super knits 🧶. Thanks you for sharing. 🙋🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

@@magsohara7908 thank you so much!! Yay!!!!

[@LottaSocks]

Lovely! I too bought the pattern after it was “updated”. Even tho the neckline pattern is the Star of the Show, I really like your pink-y speckled yarn! Flower-y pattern + flower-y colors = Summer!!! (to me, anyway) Thanks for the show & tell, Ranunculus is The Perfect Pattern for any yarn, size, body! (…big shawl done, sock toes + new sock cast-ons…THEN I will make a Ranunculus-Linen Quill & 90Cotton/10wool fingering…for next summer !!!)

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you!! Whoohoo!!

[@ThePattiw]

They are all gorgeous Stephanie!!! I will look at your project pages and get some tips because I am not into the super oversized Ranunculus either!! And the colours you chose 💕

Thank you so much!!!💖💖💖

Very helpful - I love your most recent version. Looks so cosy 😊

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@chrissy24-7]

I'm doing my first one, and i had no idea why there are front short rows, so thank you for explaining this! It's really nice to see so much variation. I'm loving that cuff variation, going to look for that one 😊 ❤

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

You’re welcome! Happy knitting!

[@goswamigeeta]

Liked each of your Ranunculus. I have knitted 3 last year. It allows you to play with yarn and sizing. It has great versatility. Whoever has knitted one has knitted at least two. You are a great knitter.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! Awesome - What colors did you knit your three??

[@ptoste1]

Your sweaters are amazing. I bought the pattern and I want to knit one like yours. Thank you so much for sharing your samples ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for another interesting podcast. I have made one Ranunculus and after watching your podcast you have inspire me to knit another.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

You are so welcome! What color did you knit your first one?

[@michelleg6899]

Hi again, Stephanie! Loved this Ranunculus parade! I have knit 1 ranunculus when it was first published and have never updated the pattern. This podcast inspired me to do that, finally! 😄 I especially love the look of your winter version and am brain-browsing my handspun stash for a possible version I could knit. I also, wanted to add that even though you knit a very different size of garments then I do, I still always feel inspired and never excluded when watching your podcasts. Thanks for the time you spend sharing your makes! 💙

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

A handspun Ranunculus! How special!! 💙💙💙 Thank you for spending some time with me!!

[@gailfirenze4760]

Great video and very helpful Stephanie. 🙋🏼‍♀️🇦🇺

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thanks so much! You're welcome!

[@HeidiSpear-oz6rw]

I don’t have my yarn or tags with me but my first was a golden yellow and second a deep blue that my friend picked out. I have the teal my stepmother picked out for me to knit another for her. I am contemplating a cooler weather version for a 4th for a very knit worthy friend (who taught me to knit) using Magpie’s new Quartet Fingering base. It is plump and just might work… not sure if I will be brave enough to try the match up but certainly thinking about it. Maybe you can try it first! 😂

[@kendi2551]

I am really grateful for this video. I knit the Ranunculus almost entirely (was waiting for more yarn to finish second sleeve, the rest was done), but I was not completely satisfied with the fit. It was going to be slightly more snug than I thought would be comfortable, but I kept going thinking I could block it slightly bigger. But then I just kept thinking about it as I was waiting for the other skein of yarn and decided to frog it and start over. I watched this video a second time just to gain some more insight on fit and things, and then I heard you (for the second time) talk about skipping the short rows in the front to make it slightly more scooped. Since already knitting it the first time, I understood what you were talking about and so decided that I would prefer that neckline. So it worked out well, since I was already going to redo it. Anyway, thank you for your videos! They are helpful and good inspiration. :)

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

So glad you tried again!!!! 🥳❤️

[@shrinkshy]

I’m so glad I stumbled upon your page and video. I really want to make the ranunculus but your green cotton one has convinced me to save it for a spring summer knit!! Now just to think about the colour.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you! Happy knitting!

[@janeteberlin5261]

Your work is beautiful - every single one! I’ve knit 3, and you’ve inspired me to do one more for summer….and then a winter one! Thank you!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much! Cheering you on!

So interesting and useful, thank you for putting together this video. Your ranunculii are all gorgeous!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!

[@maureengould7310]

I really appreciated you mentioning the yarn weight & needles you used & # of stitches & rows. I’ve hesitated making a ranunculus because I didn’t want to be too loose & baggy or too open of a fabric. I like the way all of yours fit you & am going to aim for that type of fit as well! Thank you for this video!!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

You are so welcome!

[@Button24]

I bought the pattern a year ago and it’s still lying in the desk drawer as I don’t understand it , I admire your skill and dedication and I hope to find some videos on how to make it x

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

You probably won’t find a step by step guide on making the sweater since it is a paid-for pattern. That being said, the designer has many video tutorials linked for different methods used in the pattern. Hope you find what works for you!

[@jillpohren4801]

Check out Sun Dragon Tips & Tricks KZbin playlist for the Ranuculus - she (Rebecca) has step by step instructions for each section - really helpful!

[@hollydingman7455]

This is so helpful! I haven’t gotten into playing around with gauge and stitch count very much yet, but I HAVE knit a very loopy, summer-weight, cotton ranunculus. You have given me some inspiration to perhaps knit up another one soon and not be so glued to the pattern this time. Thank you 🤗

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Glad it was helpful! Cheering you on!

[@cherylclough4309]

Loved your Ranunculus show and tell. I haven’t knitted one yet, but I can feel it coming. I was most interested in your comments concerning short rows. I have knitted the Love Note and it has no short rows. I love the fit of it. Wonder what would happen if all short rows were eliminated…

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Hi Cheryl! The Love Note does have short rows but along the bottom hem. I have knit the Love Note with and without short rows (including adding them at the neckline). It's personal preference on desired fit for sure.

[@whitneygloger5455]

Hi Stephanie :) I started watching your videos this year and I am so glad I found your corner of the internet! Every video is like checking in with a friend. Thank you for sharing what you do and I hope your December is cozy and full of warmth.

Nice Ranunculus parade! I do love that pattern, and have made 4 of them, although only 2 for myself. I have actually been working from the original pattern. Sort of. There was an addendum of sorts that gave instructions for larger sizes. I want to make more of this pattern, and use the updated version and your idea of omitting the short rows in the front!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you! Happy knitting!

[@KPknits]

What a wonderful collection of Ranunculi! They are all so beautiful and unique. I've only knit three but maybe a winter one would be nice....Thanks for the music alert for your written corrections. You're the first KZbinr that I've watched that uses that alert system. I would have missed your correction as I was concentrating on the icord bind off for my first half and half shawl.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you so much!! I’m not always very consistent about it but I’m glad it was helpful❤️

You got me on the Ranunculus and Santolina train and I am about to knit my third. Such a great summer garment and such a great gift knit! Love it. Thanks for always inspiring and informing!

YAY!!! I'm so glad you gave Santolina a try and enjoy the yarn for the Ranunculus. What colors did you knit yours in?

[@gleannemarie]

Hey, Stephanie! Like you, I was not interested in the Ranunculus initially. It didn't appeal to me at all. However, after the bouquet you have shown us and a friend of mine churning out 2 that I like the look of, I am definitely giving the pattern another look!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Yay!!! Excited for you!!

[@christineferoli1750]

They are all so pretty. I have made one with linen quill but it’s too loosey goosey. I’m gonna try a fingering with smaller needle. Thanks for the variety. It is a great pattern.

Thank you! I plan to knit one with linen quill held double at some point.

Hi! This has been extremely helpful! I LOVE the detail on Ranunculus sweaters. I do not like the very loose short sleeve style. You posting this is very helpful to me! I have been knitting for years and slowly learning new techniques. I am knitting a worsted weight long sleeve, yoke, top down eyelet sweater. I saw the pattern on an episode of “ Grocery Girls.” The body is done I am going to start the sleeves today. I am also working on finishing a quilt. I like working on both on the same day.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thanks! I’m not sure how to answer your hypothetical question - the video links are there to watch on the designer’s pattern page if you want to watch them and see how you feel about it. I don’t think the techniques are complicated but that’s subjective.

[@bsfb3ar]

Did you decrease the sleeves it look so slim i❤ your crème version the texture showed so well. I only wear long sleeve or at lease 3/4. You do inspired me. Frames are hard to gauge the yardage. Great you mention 390 grams @ 190 each hundred grams. Thsnks😊

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Modification details for each one are noted on my Ravelry project pages of that is available to you. They are linked in the description box below the video.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

The cream version has no shaping in the sleeves - knit at a different gauge it’s a smaller circumference to begin with.

[@jillyrosex6099]

Hi, love your videos, how did you do short rows just to back without getting a whole ? 😊

Thank you so much! I use German Short Rows and just pull that double stitch pretty tightly! If the stitches are still a little wonky in that area after resolving the double stitches, I'll use a yarn needle and gently even out the tension between the stitches around it.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

different type of project but the same idea as far as evening out the tension in the stitches in looser areas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGGwZWmsrqamn7s

FYI I think it was a few years ago she came out with sizes 38 and up in a modifications release she did in 2022 I believe. It’s called mods for larger sizes or something incorrect like that. I know because I made the 38 and the 40. :)

You sure looks like 1/2 of size one and fit so beautifully, please tell me how many yards of yarn you used I intended to use Aran yarn, 🧶 @very about 7 of 50g . I started everything the pattern I cast on over 25 times and can’t get through my head so I gave up I dump my yellow Dk cotton yarn . I’m used by yards and the designer no mention the amount is f yarn needed . But decided to knit a different sweater. Since I’m not familiar using pattern. I learned knitting from a Romanian lady only spoke Romain and a little French all by looked not by pattern. Since you knit size one and done so many perhaps to can shade sine light these way to encourage starting again every one seems to said it was easy😵‍💫🫣thanks

Yardages are listed on the designer’s page for the pattern - www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ranunculus-3. Note that amount of yarn used and will vary significantly depending on yarn weight, fiber content, and modifications. I have all yardages listed on my Ravelry project pages for each of my projects and recommend you check there if you’re able to. Best wishes!

The Santolina is a fingering weight.. . and I love the Green Agave color too. Did you use two strands held together or just one? Thank you.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Held single. It isn’t a very thin fingering weight - a little closer to sportweight in my opinion. Plus I knit at different gauge than the pattern.

[@winterwoodcottage3657]

Thank you for sharing. This was very helpful. Do you think the pattern is beginner friendly? I've only knit socks and a single cable vest so far. Will the lace be difficult?

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thank you for watching! I'm not sure what criteria one would use to assess a pattern's level of difficulty but I can say that I didn't find the instructions to be difficult to understand and there are lots of video tutorials offered (though I haven't used them). Best wishes!

Hi Stephanie. I just bumped into this video and now I'll need to follow your channel, and knit a Ranunculus! Could you talk to me a bit about ease. When I heard you say that the smallest size is 46" I was immediately put off. But you are petite and it works for you, clearly. I have a 34" bust and don't like things that are super oversized. I know you said you knit the size 1 in all cases. Are you sweaters 46" at the chests? One of them you said is 39". Did you knit everything to a different gauge than the pattern calls for? I can see that would work but then also starts to get complicated....any intel you can provide on this front would be appreciated! I love how yours fit on you - they do not look oversize, just nice and comfortable with drape. Thank you!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Hi welcome! All the Ranunculus sweaters have the Ravelry project pages linked in the description box so you can find all the details on gauge there. I do believe I noted their gauges on the screen in the video as well. And with varying gauges, the resulting positive ease varied. Because the pattern is written for such a loose gauge, there's a lot of wiggle room to size down with a tighter gauge. You just need to know your preferred yoke depth to see if you need to adjust that section when knitting the pattern (and so that the arm holes end up being at a circumference you like). In general, I feel that with airier fabrics, more positive ease doesn't feel as cumbersome as more dense or heavier weight fabrics with that same amount of ease - but it varies by preference!! Hope that helps!

[@mgy32]

@@EdibleThoughtsMakes Thanks so much for your helpful and quick reply. I was thinking that the fact the yoke depth/underarms aren't so far off of where your underarms actually are is likely a big part of why the fit is so nice and doesn't seem big and shapeless. I will definitely give this pattern a try -- you know, along with the other 22K Ravelry knitters! Thanks again, your variety of takes on this pattern is inspiring and helpful to see. Can't wait to see your next one!

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

@mgy32 you’re welcome!

[@myhappyspace4533]

Thanks for sharing. Are there actually videos link in the pattern?

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Please check-out the designer’s Ravelry page for the pattern (www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ranunculus-3) - they’re all listed there.

[@formervalentine]

Super helpful - thank you! Just checking: did you leave off front short rows on that last Ranunculus?

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

You’re welcome! Yes, no front short rows.

[@arunaraghu4453]

Isn't there any vdo of Ranunculus.. This looks so good that I would like to make one.. As am not so good at knitting I would like to learn making a one. Pls help.

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

It is a paid-for pattern. The pattern comes with multiple videos on different techniques. You need to purchase the pattern and if you have additional questions I would recommend asking the designer.

[@maureencapotosto9257]

A great overview. Approximately how long does it take for you to knit one?

[@EdibleThoughtsMakes]

Thanks! No idea. I am not a monogamous maker so I’m always rotating between projects!
