I bought this pattern online, but following it was a complete nightmare (front panel). As I came to look for an alternative for the front panel, I stumbled on the video tutorial. Thanks a million for the video. It's a lifesaver!

Hi there does the 2ch count as a stitch?

FINISHED!!!! First project I made following a KZbin video. THANK YOU!! My husband loves his (Bernat Baby sport yarn - grey) and my son now wants one too.

[@damienwilson8689]

was it very easy?

[@nygraciesmith119]

@@damienwilson8689 It was once you got past the first row of starting the cable pattern. You really need to pay attention to stitches and counts for the first row after the band. Once you have the first row set, you are good to go and the rest is easy peasy. I have made this in several different yarns and they all work up nicely. Give it a go, keep re-doing the first cable stitch row until you get the count right, and you won't be disappointed!

[@stinkylizard9207]

I recently started crocheting and I decided to make my boyfriend a sweater and he picked your pattern. I purchased it and the pattern + video were so helpful that even a beginner like me was able to make this beautiful cabled sweater! I just packed it away for him just in time for Christmas. I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand Pound of Love in Claret/Burgundy and it turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for your wonderful pattern and video!

[@Gracious_Gifts]

Let's be careful on how we comment. There are new crocheters, and like myself I challenge myself. Being on the Spectrum and having ADHD, sometimes the comments are offensive, misleading, and discouraging. Keys humility, just because you have crocheted for years doesn't make you an expert, it makes you an advanced (what you do). Some people can't read the patterns, some can. Some can't follow the video, some can. Some can use both. Their is a community, meaning you are not alone. One thing I won't do is clout chase, but I will show respect. MJ gets that. Period. Don't throw shade, we know how to keep things lit.

[@jimdavenport9008]

My name is Donna, and I have crocheted over 40 years. Until I found your tutorials had never attempted cables but you made them so easy! I didn't have much luck with sweaters either. And this is the 2nd Christmas that I have made sweaters with cables for my family and friends! Thank you so much for putting these tutorials out here! Now to master socks!!

[@mjsoffthehook]

Wonderful!

[@mariejuana2993]

Im so glad there are tutorials for mens clothing. Im gonna crotchet this for my brother for his birthday. He's a tall skinny dude and finding affordable quality clothing is near impossible here. He always needs to new clothes 🙈 Thanks for the tutorial :D

[@conniehinrichs4851]

I made this recently and had so many beautiful comments and people asking where to get the pattern! Of course I sent them here and told them of your wonderful tutorials and beautiful designs! I wish I could share my pic. It fit him perfectly and he absolutely loves it! Thank you MJ😊

So excited, finally another men's sweater tutorial! For so long I searched for an easy pattern to make a sweater for my husband, but couldn't find a video. I read some patterns but am better following visually. This was so easy to follow and gorgeously done. THANK YOU SO MUCH can't wait to make him a sweater for his birthday, and Christmas, and everyday wear lol.

[@mjsoffthehook]

You are so welcome!

[@krystle7260]

I'm currently working on this. My husband has sensitive skin so I opted to use bernat velvet and used a 3.25 mm and 3.75mm hook to obtain the correct gage since the yarn is a 5 bulky. We live in Texas so it's not so the acrylic yarn will be fine for warmth. Its working up beautifully! Thank you so much for the video!

[@cookyourownmeal]

Thank you so much!!! After watching your video, I felt for the first time in life that I too can try making a sweater. The pattern is beautiful and you have showed it so elaborately and in simpe terms, I loved it😍

Thank you very much for such a wonderful pattern. I had a query. Is it okay if I skip the blocking step. I find it tedious.

i am using velvet over regular yarn. It turns out pretty cute for man

[@user-tw5to3ik6f]

Hi MJ.... I purchased you pattern that brought me to your video....what a most WONDERFUL bonus to have a video, also. THANK YOU !!! I was looking for the perfect sweater style for my husband for YEARS and he easily APPROVED your design, he is a creative and well dressed man, all by himself, so I needed his approval.....he even decided on Caron Soft TWEED and we are both stoked to get started. I appreciate your measurement chest chart in pdf, TONS !!! I am a large hook girl, crocheting since 4th grade, have enjoyed the J hook as my smallest hook but LoVE K and L and M....soooo for your creation, I will give the G and H a gooooo, using Caron TWEED, if I do not get the correct gage due to my crochet tension, do you think your creation will work up if a J hook gives me the correct gage? Thank you for your assist.

[@katescrochetart]

This is pretty

[@shezcal]

Just started following along with written pattern. Are you working BLOs only of the HDCs in between cables?

[@louiiza]

Magnifique. Merci. 🌺

[@moradekeadeola1770]

Great tutorial, I have a question though, are the panels supposed to get wider with every row of stitches? This is my first time, and it's getting wider with each rows I've done. Thanks :)

[@zartashakiren2973]

its lovely neck design ..... but i started attatching it 2 stitches before ... that gives a better shape at end

[@christinedodsworth5787]

My neck band didn't turn out nice.Seemed too long.Any advice?

[@mehnazhassan4889]

Superb. The collar is so special. Wonderful. Please tell how to shape this neck for the same size. But i want to knit. I don't know crocheting.

[@emma-leewinters2303]

Hi MJ, I am following along with your pattern and need to use a 4mm hook on 8ply (what I think is worsted weight, I am from Australia and don't have yarn labelled as worsted, just in plys) on the band for the front and back of the jumper. I'd just like to know if the band needs to have an even number of stitches or a certain measurement length ways, as my band is looking rather short at the half way point for the small size jumper. Thank you 🙂

[@salehafaizurrahman5687]

While crochet gauge, is it fine if there are gaps in between every stitches but got the correct no. Of stitches in gauge?

[@christineirving4258]

When you are doing the HDC in the pattern, are you only working in back loop or going through both - beautiful pattern.

[@asiastaysathome]

It looks like she does the HDC only in the back loop, but around the 37 min mark it looks like she does the HDC through both. Other than that, it looks like it's through the back loop throughout for HDC

[@salehafaizurrahman5687]

Is the measurements of gauge after blocking is done? Or before blocking?

[@worldgurl6957]

Hi MJ.....I mafe this sweater and it is gorgeous. Made it as a gift for my brother. Thank you for the pattern and tutorial. Btw.....what is the name of your nail polish?........Gorgeous!!!!

[@veni5756]

Hiii, im making one for my dad but it seems that it has holes on the pattern is this normal?

[@muslimahmuslimah3494]

Hi, thank you for sharing this. Now I'm in the making of the front neck. But I found the front panel is shorter than the back. Should I add more rows or just seam them together one row by another?

[@muslimahmuslimah3494]

I found my stitch at the back panel is looser than the front. How should I fix it without frogging it all😱?

[@sarahrozell4533]

I am almost done with the sweater, you do a great job...but could you please be more clear about what is the right side and what is the wrong side? It's obvious on the front panel, but for the back and the sleeves, I just can't tell! lol.

[@basiliadelgado9897]

Very nice sweater! But I'm just curious what stich is in your pink sweater on the 40:22 sec?😊

[@franciscagarcia4851]

😍😍❤️ super super padre

[@Suze8408]

Does anyone know if the 2HDC in between Fpdc is back loop only or through the whole stitch? Pattern says through stitch but video looks like back loop only

[@corlissseabron9522]

Back panel is curving a bit as I work HDC rows. Bottom band is a bit narrower. The sides are straight and number of stitches per row are the same- 100 for xl. Will blocking correct this

[@mjsoffthehook]

Yes, blocking should fix it. I’m not sure what you mean by it’s curving if the sides are straight.

[@paolasantamaria7488]

how many grams of wool did you use for a medium size? Thank you

[@kellyrandolph3254]

This is very nice! I've been looking at patterns to make a ski sweater for my husband. I do have a question about the Sugar Bush Shanty yarn. Is it soft? The reason I've put off making a sweater for him is because he is allergic to wool and even says most of my synthetic yarns are "too stiff". I just know he won't wear it if he finds the yarn irritating. Great job. Thanks!

[@mjsoffthehook]

Sugar Bush Shanty has wool so I'd go with an alternative acrylic I've listed in the blog post. I think he'd like Brava worsted. It's only $1.99 a ball with lots of colour options. Very soft and silky. I'm thinking I might use it for a kid version.

[@druidsongevergreens]

If you use acrylic yarn that's stiff, you can soak it in a combination of cold water and hair conditioner (just a cap full). The wash and dry as usual for that acrylic yarn. Also, I don't use acrylic much but the crocheters in my groups all swear by red heart as something that starts stiff but softens after the first wash.

[@darrylrowe9260]

This is such a gorgeous sweater but I am making a small. I have 76 stitches and when I followed the tutorial on her website, I got the cables and didn't have enough to mirror the other side. Okay, so I tore it out and redid it, making sure I had 76 stitches. HDC 5 stitches and followed along with the video with better cables but for some reason I am still short on stitches! I dont understand, I am following along and making sure to put the right stitch where it shows in the video and as in the website but it comes short! Somebody! Help!
