Thank you so so so much for making this. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for days for a cardigan like this one. Everyone wants to make short ones and I'm like 'I need a long one'. This was literally sent from heaven. The instructions were so clear and really helpful. For reference, how long was the cardigan?/How tall are you?

[@SewingWithTAE]

Hey! I love to hear it. I really appreciate the feedback. I am 5'5 and I made it 53" long from the shoulder to floor.

Your son wanting a "son reveal " video with his face hidden in the thumbnail is taking me out little man said mama I need to be announced lol😂 & I actually like the transparency of yarn cost I think it adds a good factor to the video because it adds to the informative aspect of the video.

[@Noneyobud-ness77]

Just a suggestion that you can use a lighter and burn each end to attach a new skein of this kind of yarn it comes out much nicer and it will never come apart and you will never feel a bump of a knot. Just a suggestion

[@Yellowfacetv.]

im so im love!!!😩i just need help with with sizing the length for other people in terms of taller people and the sleeves. please help😩😭

[@SewingWithTAE]

I usually just measure down from the shoulder to the floor for length and from Center of back neck for sleeve. Then make it slightly shorter since it will stretch

[@mementosandmori]

I couldn't conceptualize how to make the sleeves and then I saw you do it. Had myself a little come to Jesus moment lol

[@SewingWithTAE]

Yahhhh I love to hear it

[@tspfull]

it seems like working on the purl side makes keeping an eye on the tension more difficult. your tension is great, tho. wonder if having 2-3 cast of stitches at the back of the neck could be nice for shaping. and look up doing a slipped stitch edge for knitting. it makes a nice finished edge. it’s good for edges that are NOT being seamed together.

[@SewingWithTAE]

Oooh thanks! I am sewist so knitting is new to me. Ill look them up.

Love this am attempting it but my with is getting larger as I go even though I'm counting loops and watching my tension any suggestions?

[@isabelquinones1844]

Thanks for the video. Im having trouble with the width its getting bigger as i go though im watching tension and counting my loops any suggestions.

[@SewingWithTAE]

My suggestion would be make sure your loops are the sane width. Sometimes the bottom is tighter and we get looser as we go up

[@ashtonk-b8438]

Thank you!! this helped me so much…Did you have any trouble with loops coming undone? or holes once you were finished???

[@SewingWithTAE]

The 1 time yes. I have missed a loop. I ended up just taking scrap yarn send tying the loop onto the row above

[@yvettehayes784]

The most helpful video by far. But friend you didn't show us how to do the neck area. I'm on my first front panel but I don't know what to do with the neck area after both front panels are done.

Heyy, I purchased the yarn using the link you provided and it’s not the same size as your yarn. Is it a big difference? It’s kind of hard to work with.

[@SewingWithTAE]

Ohh no, is it chunky extra thick yarn. Or also called blankets yarns. amzn.to/4d7Uns5

[@SackinaGoulbourne]

Where did she get that bernat blanket extra thick yarn from which store.

[@SewingWithTAE]

Joanns Fabrics and amazon

[@Mycrazylyfe]

Hello. I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I love the idea of the coat. I think I will make it this weekend. If you could please I am a size 1214 Yarn do you think I will need?

[@SewingWithTAE]

I cant say for sure. But I identify as a 18/20. And for the width I used half of my hip measurement. Which was 25" and I Made it floor length at like 55". So I used almost 5 of the 75 yard skein. So for a 12/14 I would say maybe at 22 width and length depending on your height or how long you want it. Maybe could get away with 4 of the bigger skeins.

[@chatreesebeckett5528]

Okay, it's a little confusing but definitely better than the last. So, there are three pieces that you're connecting?

[@SewingWithTAE]

There is one backpiece piece, two front panels and two sleeves.

[@chatreesebeckett5528]

Got it! I actually completed mine. It was so big that I doing need to add sleeves or maybe I'm just super short. Lol! It fit my husband though. I just made it my movie watching cardigan and started a new one that will fit me.

[@ketaluv9330]

Great video Watched several videos and started making one then I ran into your video… how many bundles of yarn did you use total? I’m 5 7 and doing the back panel, already on my 3rd bundle and it’s nowhere as long as yours. Also I see a lot of people doing the front panels separately that’s where I’m confused. You attached you fronts to your back ( didn’t do your fronts one side at a time then attached them)

[@SewingWithTAE]

It depends on how many yards are in your skeins. My second one is used close to 350 yard. Each skein had 75 yards. So I used about 5 of those. My 1st one was really oversized. The skeins only had 28 yards. I used almost 17 of those

[@ketaluv9330]

@@SewingWithTAE thank you! I would love for you to do a video showing how you attached the front parts to the back . I watched it several times and still having trouble understanding how you added the fronts without knitting them separately then attaching them. It could be the angle you shot it🤦🏽‍♀️.Thanks in advance! How did you close the neck part ??

[@tluxebeautyllc9165]

Quick question did you do 1 back panel and 2 front panels & 2 sleeves and then connected them ? Or just the back panel fold in half then start the sleeves I’m trying to make one for my daughter 😩 my brain 😂😂😂

[@SewingWithTAE]

Hi! Check the link in description for my blog post there are some good visuals there. But it the back panel splits into 2 panels at the shoulder to make the front panels. Then the sides are closed and sleeves are added.

Hey!!! I’ve started the journey!! I want mine to look similar to yours. I may have missed it but could you list the final dimensions for us

@@cherenehunt3124 i started with the back bottom as well. I went based on half my hip. Which 25, So I went with 27. So there is a little ease and you know its going to stretch a little. So my 27” was about 23 loops wide at the bottom.
