everything i want to crochet for autumn/fall as a plus size girlie

[@haleyisfabulous]

As a midsize girlie who also prefers boxy fit, I've gotten so tired of all these recommendations for tiny tops that show everything. Thanks for being a voice for a broader perspective on crochet wearables! I can't wait to see what you create this fall! :)

[@crochetemoiunmonde9397]

As a plus size crocheter I love your contents so subscribing!

[@Amyspawton]

I'm just so glad my youtube algorithm recommended you to me! I'm also a plus-sized UK girlie of a similar age. We also have a lot in common! So i'm really glad to have found your videos. I wish you all the positivity and success in life

[@hannahbrooks4615]

a great size-inclusive pattern I'd recommend is Lydia Morrow's Caveat Crop! It's the first sweater I've made that i actually love, and it's a super easy pattern to follow for a top-down/raglan pattern!

[@Deafkid97]

My bestie is plus sized & I love making her things (sewing mostly) but finding size inclusive plus size crochet patterns that fit her style has been difficult! Thank you for this valuable resource of a video!

[@vittoriasteele8362]

I’m not a plus size but I am big chested and it’s hard making clothing (mostly tops) that actually fit and give me support while helping my figure.. now that I’ve watched your videos, you’ve given me a lot of Inspo on making other clothes😁

[@hannahbrooks4615]

as a crocheter who just learned how to knit, I would absolutely recommend learning the continental method instead of traditional knitting where you wrap the yarn around the needle! it was way easier to wrap my head around holding the yarn in my left hand like I do in crochet and helped me get faster quicker, which helped me not be as frustrated!

[@blu.berrii]

love this video! if you're wanting to make a patchwork sweater, you could totally avoid a lot of the sewing process by crocheting each panel in one go! so front, back, and each sleeve, just by switching colours. you could even start with the bottom ribbing, join it together into a circle, and then rotate it slightly and just start crocheting the entire sweater by switching colours every couple stitches/rows to achieve the same look

[@jazbeth]

i’ve heard about this sort of thing so i think if i decided to make one i’ll defo do this!! thanku!!🫶🏼

[@blu.berrii]

@@jazbeth no worries! i'm thinking of giving it a try myself :)

[@emiliamichalak5330]

If you want to do a patchwork square sweater, but don't want to sew the squares together, you can just join them as you crochet. You basically make a column of squares and then like do the chain for the base of the square on a side, to add another column and crochet up, attaching it as you go ( like instead of doing chain at the end of the row, you go through the stitches of the square you've made already). It's difficult to explain so I hope you got the idea of it at least 😂😂 but I found it's quicker to make patchwork sweaters this way.

[@babispr0ut]

LOVE hearing what other people's crochet plans are, gets me so inspireddd!! 🧶✨

[@jaqsalazar6737]

currently crocheting marceline's cat pullover & i'm a midsize guy! it takes time but we can make things for ourselves 😤 échenle ganas 💪🏼

[@dnikkithebest]

I have it saved to go get the yarn for. I’m excited to crochet it. Glad to see other people doing it

[@mayraxjael]

Thank you for the tips! I struggled with finding things for my size so this is amazing. And may I add, you're very beautiful and have an amazing vibe ☺

[@miajuul120]

When you learn to knit after crocheting for a while, it can be easier to learn to knit continental, because it's similar in the way you hold the yarn :) also just found your channel today and binged all your crochet content! I'm excited to see more

[@jazbeth]

that’s what i’ve heard too! my brain just doesn’t understand it ahaha! thanku sm!!💖

[@ameliamargaurite3150]

Came to the comments to recommend continental knitting too. Its also likely a faster way to knit. Work flies off my needles these days working continental, and as a plus sizer thats what I want. Really enjoyed your video (while i was knitting) ❤

[@Yolanee]

I tried learning knitting long before I learned crocheting and it made no sense but I just learned to knit today and it was so easy! I made a scarf and I will try matching hat soon. I learned continental because I am from mainland Europe so it is just what we do here but I totally understand the point about continental being better for crocheters.

[@Nik-ko9eq]

I’m going to make a spiderweb top for the first day of fall on Saturday!!

[@lorz6878]

wth your aesthetic is so cute?! also would highly recommend trying knitting! i’m not great at it and it takes longer than crochet but they always look so good

[@jazbeth]

thankyou! i’m currently in the middle of making a knit beanie!

[@pinkapoppy]

it took me a few attempts to learn to knit and when i started learning i redid the first thing i made 10 times BUT it’s worth it! knitting just looks so nice and it takes up less yarn, and once you get the hang of it it takes about as much time as crochet

[@jazbeth]

i LOVE the look of knit which is why i wanna learn!! i defo just need more practice

[@blu.berrii]

i learned how to knit before i learned to crochet, and i used to be able to do it, but now whenever i try i fail miserably D: the stitches always fall off my needle and i cannot keep the tension right for the life of me. all the stitches are either slightly different sizes, or i struggle poking the needle into the stitch in the first place because the stitches are so tight. any tips??

[@maritzascraft]

Hi Jaz. I just found you and subscribed since I’m considered plus size. Would love to have crochet tutorials on the fall sweaters you make.

[@emilifant]

Plus sized knitter and crocheter here! Lovely video. A tip for picking up knitting: as a crocheter, the continental way of holding your yarn while knitting might feel more natural to you than the English style. Play around a bit and knit a couple swatches and see what style works best for you. Nimble Needles here on KZbin has lots of helpful knitting tutorials in continental style. Wishing you best of luck on your knitting journey! xx

[@marissacarroll]

Large-chested gal here! I just made the Houndstooth Vest by CherilynCrochet and it's PERFECT! The pattern was a bit funky at first cuz there's no size chart, you just have measure yourself and use their conversion to get your sizing but it actually turned out really easy. I did a chain of 80 instead of 70 and it turned into the greatest layering piece without it being too tight. You can easily adjust the length of it too for a longer or more cropped look which I always appreciate. Excited to see what you make this fall! :)

[@airplane_flaps]

For learning to knit, look up continental style it is exactly like crocheting and hooking the yarn through! Game changer

[@carys9829]

Can't wait to see the tie front cardi, I've got one on my list too 🫶

[@vikkusfikkus]

For my autumn/ winter projects I have a ghost face tapestry v neck vest and I’m currently working on a pink cloud cardigan❤

[@jazbeth]

ooo i love the ghostface tapestries! let me know how it goes!!❤️‍🔥

[@dragonsncake9787]

I'm aiming to make a cardigan and a top. I usually only make accessories and blankets so those would actually be the second and third peices of clothing I've ever made

[@icannotbeseen]

for the patchwork stuff, I strongly recommend learning how to carry the yarn to crochet them line by line in the round or however you like, or if you want something like granny square patchwork, look at the join as you go method. you really don't need to sew pieces together at all, even just slipstitching two pieces together can work fine (but you'll have to be careful with tension so you don't make the seams tight and short)

[@icannotbeseen]

oh by the way, when it comes to knitting in the round - I found a great way to get into that is to take something like a crochet sweater and instead of doing crochet ribbing, you pick up stitches on a circular needle and then go around to get confident with rounds. you can unravel that easily without running the rest of the sweater so you can focus on learning one thing at a time. I did that a month ago and now I'm knitting sweaters and leg warmers. knitting is great! and you already have the bonus of knowing how to maintain yarn tension (at least for continental knitting it translates over 1:1) which is reeeeally helpful for even stitches. protip: I recommend getting bamboo needles for your first attempt, they are less slippery so you aren't going to get frustrated dropping stitches all the time. with the right tension you won't have problems with metal needles but it's just a bit easier

[@icannotbeseen]

and the last thing, regarding size: I don't work with patterns at all, I hate having to have something to read that I need to have on me at all times to work on the project. Instead, learn how things are done and then use them for what you want. say you learn how a raglan sweater works and know how to do even inceases. you can now make a sweater in your desired length and looseness (just try it on as you go), vary the stitches/colors to make it interesting, decide if you want bell sleeves or trumpets or fitted ones, just increase/decrease till it looks good. no messing with gauges, no counting stitches, no having to use either the same yarn or having to do math or whatever to make your yarn fit. just vibes till it fits you how you want. I usually start the thing and when I don't know how to do what I want (say I want to make a raglan knit sweater and don't know how to do the armholes properly because it's not the same as in crochet), I'll open some random youtube tutorial for that thing, look at what they do, do it, then continue as normal. suddenly size inclusivity becomes entirely irrelevant because you don't have to rely on a pattern maker including you.

[@jazbeth]

this is such good advice thank you so much!! i’ve started continental knitting and i think i’m going much faster than with traditional, i also agree on not relying on patterns as this is was i do most of the time unless i’m doing something super specific!! thanks again for the advice!!

[@maanknitwear]

Definitely following because I love your bubbly personality AND I need more plussize crafters to follow

[@aliwilson4130]

I love the idea of crochet dungarees. That sounds so fun and cool!

[@MrsMack-bw5qd]

I love your energy you gained a follower from Detroit Mi ❤

[@amaliefrederikkereimerlars4170]

If you haven't tried out knitting continental style, try it out! I could not figure out knitting because of the way english style knitters hold their yarn opposite of what I was used to from crocheting, and then when i tried continental everything bacame so much easier because I could hold the yarn like how I was used to! :)

[@samanthasmith5113]

if you're trying to knit, look up continental knitting! i started with crochet and literally only learned how to knit like two weeks ago but continental knitting made so much sense to my crochet brain

[@assessed]

If you start a knit beanie from top down... You can make a magic circle for the amount of stitches you need to start and pick up from that round to begin knitting instead of trying a fiddly knit start!

[@McKaylasCrafts]

girlieee just knit, I always suggest to my girlies who crochet first that learning continental will be easier than english style depending on how you hold your crochet hook!

[@helsweb99]

Love u

[@mymelu]

I love watching you💖 tons of love from argentina

[@lucylolo2535]

Loved this video! Thanks for sharing your pattern ideas, you make me want to switch from knit to crochet 🧶 SUBSCRIBED!

I also do not feel cool nor slay in a summer halter top and I am excited that fall is coming lol

[@caro_owo4315]

very inspiring! also i luv ur vibe sm

[@Ddalgiichigo]

I mostly knit but it’s tradition for me to start several crochet projects every fall and finish them by winter 😂

[@stephkrahe4458]

Have you tried Tunisian crochet? It’s super fun, and was a great segue from crochet to knitting for me!

[@jazbeth]

i’ve made a poor attempt a long time ago but i think i need to give it another try lol

[@catarinalucas]

This is such a cool video for inspo! I’m a midsize girl and I can relate to your struggles, most patterns around are made for one specific body type 😅 Just a feedback, on upcoming videos could you maybe leave the images on the screen a little longer? When I turn around to look the images are already gone and makes it harder for me to keep up 😢 Thank you so much 🧶🧚

[@HannahRubenArt]

Granny square dungarees 😮 yessssss

[@bananafishlover1248]

these projects look so cute

[@yinglabrador]

OMG!! I love your ideas. 🥰 Will definitely do some of them. Thank you XOXO

[@karly2190]

If you wanna knit and are impatient, I'd recommend something with colour changes.. motivates you to get to the next step.

[@justineallen8293]

Great ideas! I can't wait to see you make them ❤️

[@Anne-rj4bk]

Tunisian Crochet a beanie in the knit stitch. Very easy and looks just like a knit beanie.

[@grimsdoll]

it's kinda insane to me how much crochet patterns are specificly made for skinny/smaller bodies. it's rare to even see a medium size, let alone a large. i'm not plus sized but, have a big bust making the stuff i make not fit me at all due to my size so, tysm for this video !!

[@micaela.herrera]

Knitted hats can be really easy because you basically just make a rectangle and sew it up on the side and then pull it together on the top. Definitely would watch a tutorial for that first though because it took me a second to get the hang of.

[@jazbeth]

that’s actually one of the projects i’m in the middle of!!

[@Dearest.Allison]

Heard on the body issues with summer issues and crop tops. I have an amazing crochet sweater pattern I'd love to share with ya that has balloon sleeves and is done in the round (I hate sewing those pieces together!!!!) Lemme know if you want it! ❤

[@infinite_sandwitch]

I've seen some people make patchwork cardigans by making it like a regular cardigan and just changinf the colors to make the squares, so you could do that if you don't want to sew it all together.

[@dae6034]

Forthefrills has great patterns that go up to 3x and are beginner friendly!

[@jazbeth]

thanku!! will defo be checking them out!!

[@emcarson]

Are you actually like sewing with a needle or crocheting your pieces together? As I crochet together like do a chain/single stitch the bits together and it’s so quick!

[@jazbeth]

i try avoiding projects that need to be sewn together most of the time but if i do need to, i learnt how to do a mattress stitch and i prefer that look over slip stitches and single crochets!!

[@reine2212]

we have the exact same taste in crochet projects lol. i wanna make all of these too, so bad, but i just can't buy so much yarn at once )):

[@sophiehendrich2669]

If you're considering learning knitting try learning continental style. Having the yearn in the left hand makes it so much faster to knit instead of for each stitch throwing around the thread

[@addalilspicecreations]

omg babes I’m currently looking for plus size pattern testers for my granny square pullover if you’re interested !!🥹💕

[@aichalechat]

I love this video ❤

[@grim_bacon]

i think im mid size, but i tried the spider wed top and it did not go well lol i am also incredibly busty and the further you go the longer the chains links go and the more that say awkward on my body when it was done :/ ive tried two diff styules and couldnt figure out how to make it look flattering on my body type. could also be a skill issue but i love that top so much and im desperate to figure it out for my body type

[@crystal672]

I think you can definitely knit:) you got this! I used to knit before I started crocheting and I used to think that crocheting is harder lmao but now that I do both I have no idea

[@jazbeth]

thanku! i think i’m just impatient and having to start from the beginning is daunting ahaha

[@sofaoofa]

I cannot crochet haha! I can only knit and beanies are my favorite, especially in chunky yarn. They just knit up so fast :)

[@patriciagriego75]

for easier knit beanies: look up beanies that are knit flat! you'll have to sew a rectangle together and cinch the top of the hat, but knitting in the round is something i still don't know how to do and i've made like 3 knit beanies with the knit flat tutorials!

[@jazbeth]
