"Zephyr" means a warm and gentle breeze at the time of the summer solstice on the Mediterranean Sea🌬🌊

I think it is so smart to do a video to help us newer knitters to fitted garments and also a good way to sell and promote your patterns. I am so insecure to buy a fitted garment pattern and know exactly what to do without a tutorial. Thank so very much!

[@Juliapiro]

You're absolutely right! Tutorials are a great way to build confidence with fitted garments. I'm so happy the video helped - that's exactly why I create them! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions.

[@maxx6050]

I'm a fan of your patterns with assist tutorials. 🤗 Thank you!

[@Juliapiro]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I put a lot of effort into making the tutorials clear and helpful, so I'm happy they're working for you ❤

[@jennar4933]

Super excited to work on this. Thankyou!

[@Juliapiro]

So glad you're liked it! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

This is such a GREAT pattern, I can’t put it down!! I have like 3 or 4 more projects on needles, and I literally can’t put this down to work on anything else! Fantastic job!!🩵💜

[@Juliapiro]

So glad you're loving it! That's the best kind of problem to have 😀. Enjoy getting lost in this new creation!

I love your video. It’s amazing how you explained the steps so clearly and make it easy to undertstand even for a beginner like me. Thank you for sharing this.❤

[@Juliapiro]

So glad you found it helpful! Makes my day to know beginners can follow along 🥰

[@maryjane12]

@@Juliapiro definitely the best tutorial I’ve ever watched. Never felt bored watching the entire video. Thanks again.

Stunning

[@Juliapiro]

Thank you 🧡

[@lisawhite-kc8is]

I would really like to try this pattern, I really like this sweater

[@Juliapiro]

I think you'll do fantastic! It's easier than it looks, and so rewarding to make your own sweater 🤗

[@photoaddict555]

Thank you for such a detailed description of how to make this lovely jumper. In the pattern is there a schematic with all the measurements? I see that you have a written document for the bust size etc? But is there a full detailed schematic included? This is if one wants to make alterations to the size of arms etc.

[@Juliapiro]

Great question! To keep things super beginner-friendly, I skipped a schematic. The pattern is a little tricky to adjust for size changes, but choosing the right bust size should give you a great fit.

[@terid3569]

I love it

[@Juliapiro]

Glad you enjoyed it 🤗

[@fashionstyle99t]

Can I use this pattern for a summer short sleeve tee? Thank you so much, it's so beautiful! 🤗

[@Juliapiro]

Hello, thank you 😊 Absolutely, you can modify this pattern for a summer tee. In the video description, I've included a link to Ravelry, where you'll find projects from test knitters who made short sleeve versions. Additionally, the written pattern itself includes instructions for short sleeves.

[@Monique-TheYarnCurator]

Sooooooooo beautiful ❤ Please can you consider doing this pattern for babies 🙏

[@Juliapiro]

Thank you so much! A baby version of the Zephyr sweater is a great idea! I'll definitely add it to my list of future projects to consider. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Monique-TheYarnCurator]

Thank you@@Juliapiro ♥️

[@TMjNP]

I want that silicone cord! 😢

[@Juliapiro]

I bought it here: www.petiteknit.com/en/products/maskewires?variant=39465656320055 You can also visit your local craft store and ask for the plastic tube cord🌷

[@peaches7551]

Your knitting is beautiful, sweater also beautiful! I'm working on his mellow mood now :-) if I can successfully complete it, I want to try all of your sweater tutorials. Learning tons ....thank you! What stitch markers are you using?. I would be so worried that cord holder would come off the needle while transferring but, it is pretty cool. It's also nice to use different yarns you have chosen and they don't cost a bazillion to make a sweater :-) nice job all around. Very talented and sweet to take your time to help us. Thank you ...thank you

[@Juliapiro]

So glad you're loving the tutorials! The stitch markers are actually by Cocoknits (they come in a set of 60, 9mm size). Yes, the cord holder can be a bit slippery, and can drop off the needle tip, so I sometimes have to pick up stitches back on the needle. But I still find it more comfortable than scrap yarn. Drops yarn is my go-to for all my tutorials because it's a fantastic combination of quality and price, plus it's available almost everywhere!

When did you stop increasing the sleeves or, how many more increases are done for the front and back when you stop increasing for the sleeves & can I apply the same to Mellow Mood For Him?

[@Juliapiro]

Hello! The Zephyr sweater uses an 8-row repeat due to the cable pattern and is designed for plant-based DK weight yarn. If you're having trouble with the sleeves for the His Mellow Mood (which uses a 2-row repeat and aran weight yarn), feel free to send me a message at [e-mail] for specific help with that pattern.

[@peaches7551]

Hi My cable stitches look loose. Suggestions? I tried to knit tighter and oops ! I broke my needle tip very sadly ! HeLp. :-) Thank you Julia

[@Juliapiro]

I’d recommend using a cable needle that's the same size as your knitting needles.🌷

[@peaches7551]

@@Juliapiro okay, I will do that ASAP. :-) I couldn't believe that I snapped the needle tip off ! Live n learn the hard way . Grrr

[@teresadumpe1661]

I have a question. If my breast measures 35 inches do I then add 5-7 inches for positive ease to determine my “size”?

[@Juliapiro]

For a 35-inch bust, you can either choose size S with less positive ease or go for size M if you prefer a more relaxed, looser style. It depends on the fit you’re aiming for 🌷

[@rajniarora9527]

[@nlforest58]

Is this pattern has short rows for scoop neck line as in picture ?

[@Juliapiro]

Hi, this pattern doesn’t use German Short Rows. The extra length is added at the end of the yoke for a balanced fit. The neckline is round, and its width is based on your cast-on stitch count. To make it narrower, cast on 8 fewer stitches and add them in the first round. 🌷

[@adrianaverstappen4460]

Hello, is this pattern still available? I have tried three times to buy it on Etsy and it produces an order number, then says download is pending, then pattern is unavailable. Hoping for a link that works. It's a beautiful pattern, and I've just finished the Mellow Mood sweater and looking for another challenge.

[@Juliapiro]

Hi there! The pattern is definitely still available. It sounds like you might be having trouble with the Etsy checkout. I'd recommend trying to purchase it on Ravelry instead. Let me know if you need any help! 😊

[@adrianaverstappen4460]

@@Juliapiro Thanks so much for the reply - I have the pattern now and have added it to my project list (we are in winter in NZ at the moment so I'm looking forward to starting that one in the spring). Really enjoy your patterns and your videos, great explanations and I learn a lot.

[@brigittelebreton2824]

Hello. I have a problem with the sleeve. I knit 24 rounds just under the arm . The first brown stripe is not in front of the first stripe of the body (6 rounds under the arm.. ) is there à mistake in the explanations ? Excuse me for my bad english. Thank you so much

[@Juliapiro]

Hi there! Don't worry, it's not a mistake in the pattern. The sleeve stripes don't necessarily need to match the body stripes exactly. This is because we have different bust and shoulder widths. If you'd prefer the stripes to match perfectly, you can try adjusting the number of rounds knit before starting the stripe on the sleeve.

[@EK-kd6tz]

So pretty but too difficult for me.

[@Juliapiro]

Try the Mellow Mood sweater first 🌷

Hi, Tried to use the promo- code on Etsy it doesn't function. Please help Thanks

Hello, Double-check for any typos or extra spaces when entering the code 🌷

@@Juliapiro thanks. The code functiond on ravelry. Thanks

[@teresadumpe1661]

I am on the sleeves (done right now) but the pattern says SSK in beginning of decrease round and then K2TOG. She that is what I did but actually I now see it is backwards from our video (52:30 ish). I hate to pull it all out. I guess the other sleeve I should be the same? Anyway else do this?

[@Juliapiro]

Hello! It doesn’t actually matter whether you start decreasing with SSK or K2tog. The pattern says SSK at the beginning of the round and K2tog at the end. In the video tutorial, I start with K2tog and finish with SSK. Feel free to use whichever method you prefer and repeat it for the other sleeve!

[@teresadumpe1661]

Ok- I was thinking the decreases not aiming inward was a mistake. Thank you- this is only my second sweater. Your video is AMAZING!
