I just finished my first cardigan following this tutorial and I am in love! Thanks so much for sharing your pattern 🩷

[@elinsDIY]

Wow! That’s so fun to hear, good job! 🥰👏🏻

What an awesome pattern. ❤ wish I could knit along, but I am at work. It would be so nice to have a written pattern if I can. It's beautiful.

[@elinsDIY]

Thank you so much! ❤️ I wish I had it written down, but then I need to learn how to write patterns😅 I should try look into it… I’ll update you if I get to do it!

[@Cherylcoder]

Yay! Thank you for putting this up again Elin!

This is a very pretty pattern design. I may attempt this!

[@elinsDIY]

Thank you so much! Good luck if you do🤗

[@maryjowilliamson1276]

Am I the only one who wants the written pattern to follow along with this tutorial?

[@elinsDIY]

Hi, that’s very understandable! I just freestyled this cardigan so I don’t have it written down sadly, except for details like number of stiches and so on.. maybe I could write that down in the description box, if that would help? 😊

[@lissablue176]

No would be helpful. Basic well I’ll still need help.

[@amyahdocq8835]

I have a question, please. I am used to the Drops' site but I can't find this pattern. Would you have the name of this pattern or it's number please? Thank you ... your cardigan is beautiful

[@elinsDIY]

Hi, thank you! ❤️ I made this pattern myself, and unfortuntaly don’t have it written down yet as I have never written a pattern before😅 but I will update you if I get to write it down!

[@bakingwithkids527]

When working under the arm, do you do increases or decreases? If so, how many cm should I knit before I begin my increases/decreases, and is it different from the purple sweater ( I'm knitting the purple one).

[@stellanbrandy]

Hello, I’m making the thinner yarn version and just wondering do you still pick up 28 stitches for the front panels or pick up more? Thankyou

[@karen-wo9td]

This looks like a wonderful project to cast on soon. I am however a bit confused about which technique you use when knitting stockinette stitch, i see that sometimes you knit through the back loop and others through the front. is this a special way of knitting? I am surprised you don´t get twisted stitches. Just curious. Looking forward to knitting this soon 😊

[@elinsDIY]

Hi thank you so much! Haha I understand you are confused, I knit the stiches in the back loop because I purl them in a weird way when knitting stockinette (which I find to be easier)🙈 so I figured if I knit them in the back loop they end up not being twisted😆 happy knitting!

Nice. I subscribed your channel.

[@elinsDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@illummise8436]

How do you go about sizing this? Do i just hope it fits?

[@aariyachowdhury8776]

Gauge??

[@Chaashaqahya]

Question when finishing one shoulder panel & moving onto the next..are we to face the work on the wrong side towards us so that the cable can be correct and stay to the neckline as the other?

[@Chaashaqahya]

So on the other shoulder (after completing the first shoulder) you start on the cable pattern first, then the increases after the cable? To flip the design to be the same correct?

[@elinsDIY]

Hi! Yes that’s how I did it😄 you could start on the other side as well as long as you make sure to get the cable and increases in the right spots👌🏻

[@forget-me-not-lover]

thank you for the pattern! im so confused, on 4:42 from which stitch do i need to count 6 stitches?

[@elinsDIY]

I understand, it’s a little hard to see, but from the last twisted stich you count 6 loops including the one on your needle, hope it helped! You could search up a tutorial spesificly for twisting if you are still unsure☺️

[@blessedprincess6186]

Sister in the first part....after how many rows do we have to decrease the chain (2nd decrease at what row n 3rd decrease at what row did u do...I have done the 1st decrease (2 chains on each side)

[@elinsDIY]

Hi, did you mean the decreases on the sides of the top panels? If yes, then I decreased the second decrease about the 15th row and the 3rd decrease on the 24th row I think😅 but it doesn’t really matter as long as you do it somewhere before connecting the back and front panels🤗 Hope that helped!

[@blessedprincess6186]

Tysm sister... please allow me to bother you again ...if I have any doubt while making it 😁🤍

[@elinsDIY]

@@blessedprincess6186 yes, please do😄

[@tamannourzaman8301]

Whats the gauge?

[@Minimaddie08]

I was working on the picking up stitches for front right shoulder section and I got confused 😢. Do you know how many rows you did for that part? Thank you so much

[@elinsDIY]

Hi, sorry if it was unclear! Not sure exactly what you were wondering, but I started doing the cable on round 3 I think, after 5 rows I did the first increase and kept increasing every 4th row. 18 cm in total. Feel free to ask more if something is still unclear🤗

[@Minimaddie08]

⁠@@elinsDIY thank you so much for replying. Do you happen to know how many stitches you ended up having?

[@elinsDIY]

@@Minimaddie08 35 stiches for each front panel before connecting the body☺️

[@Minimaddie08]

I’m sorry for bothering you but how many stitches did you end up having after decreasing? (The joining the body part)

[@elinsDIY]

No problem! If you mean after all the decreases on the body then I had 132 stiches (and then decreased some more for the ribbing) 😊

[@neovity9915]

7:28 hey, can i ask what do you mean you did "3x2 increases" and where to do them?

[@elinsDIY]

Hi, sure, I even wrote it wrong so no wonder you ask🫣 I meant decreases. And that I had done decreases on either side of the body (2 per round), 3 times. (Where you see the markers) Hope that clearified🤗

[@neovity9915]

@@elinsDIY it did! Thank you ^^ I love this pattern, it's the prettiest cardigan pattern I've seen in youtube. I'm also looking forward to make the other cardigan you posted.
