Knit This Now! The Beautiful, Beginner Friendly Balmy Cardigan or These 5 Fabulous, Fall Cardigans!!

[@debsterzonie]

I'm in the middle of knitting a cardigan for my husband. It's my first, even though I've been knitting for 56 years. I am very inspired by your sweater designs and the oh so lovely yarn. You make it so difficult to choose! My next project will be one of your fabulous sweaters. Thank you so much for bringing sunshine into this world. 🌞❤

[@susy-adryannafielsch2387]

OH MY 😍! This pattern is the latest to zoom to the top of my very long list of cardigans and sweaters I MUST make! I’m obsessed with making all the cardigans and sweaters! I’m going to have to live to be a very old sea turtle if I’m going to knit and crochet all of them! Thank you for all the patterns and all the gorgeous yarn!

[@sandraw321]

I’ve made Knitted Cardigans before and I never get tired of looking at all the gorgeous projects out there!

[@kathleenhensley5951]

Just glorious. I'm not a great knitter (though I've been knitting for decades.) but that first cardigan, Balmy, is wonderful. Definitely a Christmas gift for myself. I've made at least 4 cardigans over the years,usually crochet because I feel more competent as a crocheter. I'm in my 70s and still learning and improving in my handwork, there is always more to learn. I'm going through a rough time, physically, right now, and handwork gives me pleasure, something challenging and enjoyable.

[@florab6970]

I have made cardigans and am currently crocheting a pullover for one of my sons for Christmas. I knit and crochet but love the speed of crochet, but I am obsessed with the balmy cardigan and have decided that I will have to make it after Christmas! You inspire many of us who have crafted for many years to do new and refreshing projects. Thank You 🥰

[@marthacorona7109]

Hello, I have never made a cardigan. I just started crocheting 2yrs ago. I’m inspired to learn how to knit just so I can create your beautiful patterns.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

That is so great to hear! You're going to love knitting!

[@kevindawg5717]

That Balmy pattern is calling to me. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Your wool is scrumptious and the colours are outstanding.

[@HarlowToYarns]

Never tried a cardigan before! I'm excited to learn how to put on the buttons!!

[@bethrogers5656]

The first item I ever knitted was a cardigan, 50 yrs ago. It too had bishop sleeves and ribbing along the waist that mimicked pleats. Thanks for showcasing these great patterns, would love to try them all!

[@yoshimis3800]

You’ve inspired me to add this balmy cardigan to my ever-growing list of crochet/knit projects. I’ve knitted a pull-over sweater (nightshade tee, my favorite!) and crocheted a few Collette cardigans but this will be my first knit cardigan. You are always so positive and inspiring-thank you for that. I can do this!

[@cdma7sss]

Love the colors of the balmy cardi. I so wished I could knit. Learned as a child, but have not touched a set of needles for over 50 years. Maybe someday. I have crocheted a couple of cardis for others. Getting ready to start one for myself.

[@TaraZamarron]

I have been a crocheter since I was 6. My grandmother taught me knit and crochet but knitting was challenging for me. I got circular needles and excited to try it again. I would love to do this sweater some day.

[@HelloAlinaLai]

I haven’t tried it yet, but if I were given enough yarn, I would definitely give it a go!

[@theMermaidRhonda]

All the colors! Every one of those sweaters is gorgeous! I'm working on a cardigan as I'm watching this, but it's a crocheted one. The ladies at m favorite local yarn shop are teaching me how to improve my knitting, so I will definitely be giving one of these a go!

[@jillpetersen5443]

I have never made a cardigan for myself. I've made them for babies & young children. Top down is definitely the way to go for fit.

[@lorimurphy889]

I definitely have made a few cardigans before in knit and crochet. My favorite thing to make is wearables.

[@tinahairston6383]

OMGOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! This yarn is STUNNING!!!! Give me ALL the wearables!!! I haven't made a cardigan yet but I have done a pullover. Another great pattern, Emma!! Thanks, Chandi!!!

[@protophotogsl]

Yes, I have knit many cardigans; for myself as a teenager and young adult, then many more for grandchildren and the babies & children of various acquaintances. My 2 favorite designs, among those featured in the video are Sweetgum, with the delicate buttonband detailing and marled/fade fabric and Malvarosa, (the exceptional pullover style in this curated selection), with its delicate floral embroidery at the yoke.

[@angelsbear37]

I have made several cardigans and I love them all. The pattern I like the most out of all these is the long one, although, they are all very pretty. Thank you for sharing these designs with us. God bless, sweet spirit.

[@LombardoAlicia8564]

I haven't made one before! I'm probably going to try out Infinitesimal.

[@Crafty3627]

As soon as I saw the Balmy cardigan I ordered it and printed it up immediately. I’ve only made one cardigan which I crocheted. I’ve only been knitting for a few years, but I would like to try knitting the Balmy cardigan. I enjoy your KZbin channel. The pattern designs are classic with a modern freshness. The color pallets are always outstanding. I’ve crocheted several of your patterns and were thrilled with the results.

[@izabellabochenek8696]

Oh, these cardigans are gorgeous, all of them! I have made the Storyteller and I love, love, love it. Happy knitting everyone. Have a blessed day! ❤

[@chriskramer7004]

You've given us so many great options for Cardigans. They are all gorgeous. I have made Cardigans for my 3 daughters. They were as pleased as I was with the results. Thanks again for all the choices,!

[@karenkahler4957]

Over the years I have made three cardigans. Love this new striped fall colors and design

[@Lexxie45]

I've made many, many cardigans ever since I've learned to knit and crochet at 7 years old. The one I'm most proud of is a knitted lacy top and cardigan set I made for my Mom with a beautiful soft white yarn I bought in Vienna Austria when I was there a thousand years ago. My Mom has passed away 5 years ago and that set probably ended up with one of my cousins. I don't know because I don't live in Europe any more. From the cardigans you showed here today, I like Rubato the best. Thank you for showing them.

[@carolinepaterson384]

The balmy cardi is just gorgeous. Right to the top of my list for cardigans. I have made cardigans before but only one colour. The colours are divine. 🎉😊

[@cindyeldridge6399]

I love the variety of cardigans you have shown here! I have made quite a few cardigans over the last 55 years. I love the small details that your designers have in the patterns on your website! Have a great day everyone! ❤

[@aztigerval1979]

I've made crochet cardigans but not knit. I absolutely love all of these patterns! 😍 Makes me want to learn to knit so bad but I really have a hard time knowing how to get started. I know its a matter of practice. I just need to convince myself that its worth sticking with it!

[@nicolebianco]

I have never made a cardigan, but this new balmy cardi is beautiful! I just love that color combo!!

[@kathleenhensley5951]

Isn't it tempting? I am uncertain I can do it but the colors and styling. Love it.

[@24567423ify]

These are beautiful. I love knitting cardigans because I love wearing cardigans.

[@tanyak4044]

I really like Balmy!! It seems like a possibility even with the kiddos! I have actually made a cardigan (pre kiddos)!! More in the bolero style and I absolutely loved making it!! It is the color of the ocean and I have had it for about 10 years now and it is just as lovely!! Maybe one day one of my kiddos will want me to make them a cardigan!! I would be so honored! Thank you for the video, yarn, and the patterns!!

[@jenmyers847]

I still haven’t mastered knitting, but I’ve crocheted a cardigan (along with multiple ponchos, wraps, and pullovers) and I love it. I can’t decide which of these I love the most, but I think it just might be Balmy. They’re all so beautiful!

[@caro-line3811]

I've knitted 1 cardigan so far and it's the item I wear the most. Your pattern is simple and elegant. Merci

[@arlenelewis7975]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the newest sweater...to the border and to the V neck...perfect cardigan. I have made one sweater before but I need to make more and I think this one is going to be it.

[@dianapulido1807]

I have not knit a cardigan, made one in crochet. I have always wanted to knit one, but I always chicken out. These are all so beautiful. I want to make them all. I don't know if I can because I always have a hard time with gauge, that is when I chicken out. I love how you combine the colors and make the fades look so effortless. I think I at least have to try and make your new sweater, you did say it was easy. Good luck everyone.

[@judithsmith5392]

All those cardigans are lovely. I have made many cardigans and agree that top down are easiest

[@jcsreader]

Yes, Ive made a caedigan before. Just finished one for Christmas. That duster is beautiful!!

[@debbiek9554]

My first cardigan was a Mary Maxim kit back in the mid 70's. I still wear it! My next cardigan is going to be Robalto. I'm a sucker for cables. Just love doing them!

[@ladyglittersparkles9354]

Nervous crochet/hooker here.....having only venturing into the knitting side of the arts late. I have not as yet tried my hand with knitting a cardigan. But Balmy , is the one I think I will try. The colors and also the contrasting textured border .....OH MY!

[@eileendavis1062]

I made my daughter two cardigans and myself one. Currently working on the second one for me. I enjoy them better than a pullover because I can pair them with different outfits.

[@susansackett2135]

I made a cardigan when I was a kid, but I outgrew it fairly quickly. I found it in my mother's cedar chest after she died. So I got to see all the creative fixes of my mistakes. Love these designs and your yarn.

[@mariedesoto1767]

Though I've crocheted dozens of cardigans for babies and toddlers, I have not made one for an adult. My sister is requesting a cardigan in Moongleam so I see one in my future. Thank you so much for your wonderful yarn and patterns !

[@brandiwitmer6015]

I have not made a cardigan before but I am loving all of the ones you showed in this video. Thank you for sharing your lovely patterns and making these videos I look forward to them every Friday.

[@barbarawiltz9453]

Yes, I have made cardigans before! They are so fun to wear!

[@GailL0266]

OMG - you had me at BALMY, the pattern is downloaded and ready to go! I am a prolific knitter of socks, sweaters, shawls and cardigans too. Nothing better than putting on a cosy sweater that I've knit myself and yes, being able to say "I knit it myself" is such a great feeling. I used to work Customer Service in a Bank and loved getting compliments on my hand knits. Thank you for the Balmy pattern - looking forward to starting it very soon.

[@adaquinoyortiz6334]

I love to crochet top down cardigans and shirts I have crocheted a cardigan or two but now I want to try to knit a cardigan for the first time. I am teaching myself how to knit.

[@catherineleatham7374]

I made the Balmy Cardigan and it knits up quick and easy. It fits great!

[@cassandrabrown6440]

Yes I’ve made cardigans before. I love the look of balmy. It will be the next one that I make.

[@beccahohneck7541]

I've crocheted a Cardagon years ago ( my husband calls it my mom coat) I haven't tried knitting one yet but after watching this, I can't wait to try❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@KittenWAW]

Such an elegantly simple pattern, perfect for showcasing those beautiful colors. Including the variegated between the tonals is eyecatching. My go-to daily cardi is over 10 years old now, and in need of replacement - or lots of repairs. I can never quite seem to part with it. I have a chunky weight cardi on the needles, but I want a lighter weight one too.

[@weavrmom]

Longtime knitter who still has to take the cardigan plunge! Love that Sweetgum pattern; it looks like one that I could just live in. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@masz10676]

My head is spinning with sweaters and colors. You need to give the photographer a big raise. The colors of EFA yarns are to die for. The Balmy pattern and the colors are definitely Fall season wear. Thanks for offering such delightful designs.

[@jenniferwilcox2525]

Happy Friday! Yes, I have made a crochet cardigan and have a pullover knit sweater in my WIPS, but have never knit a cardigan. Thank you for so many options!

[@gaylesommerfeld204]

I have made one cardigan before, a few years ago, and I still wear it! This new pattern, well the colors are just amazing! 😊 I really want to make this one

[@6866361]

This will be my first knitted cardigan. Looking forward to the challenge. All the patterns are inspiring; I’m drawn to Balmy the most.

[@Sar10Isr]

Thank you Chandi. I have almost all the patterns but I didn't knit a cardigan just yet. We moved and I knew I'll need a calmer time to concentrate, hopefully soon. I did crochet a cardigan though and I love it. Knitting one is my next milestone in my knitting journey. Have a happy, calming weekend 🥰

[@WhiteLotusOm]

I adore every single one of your cardigan patterns and the choice of yarn colors you used…..beautiful ♥️

[@hazelwitherspoon2721]

I am currently working on my first cardigan-a charity baby cardigan. It is a lot of fun. I have always wanted to do one for myself. I am in love with the stunning Rubato pattern- it tickles my geekiness. It is definitely going in the queue.Have a fabulous fall day, everyone.

[@Kayemwhy]

I have never made a top down cardigan. These are beautiful, especially the newest pattern.

[@salliedavies8784]

I have made a few cardigans. The balmy is calling me I love the colours, so autumnal which is my fave season. And I have knitted the rubato which is the first time I knitted cables, which just so beautiful.

[@bonniedurie3050]

I have never made a cardigan. The Balmy looks like something I could make. I really like the seed stitch trim, it pulls it all together. Thank you Chandi! Continued blessings!

[@FayeBranton]

Oh wow, Chandi! I’m smitten by Emma's Balmy cardi pattern and the beautiful autumn colors you modeled. The other sweaters are beautiful, too! I’m a newbie knitter (only a couple of scarves so far), but look forward to growing my skills and venturing into sweaters and other wearables. Your yarns are total eye candy!!

[@donna5521]

I love cardigans. These patterns are gorgeous! Don't know how to knit but I've made several crochet cardigans, sweaters, and tees

[@christianthornton4714]

Yes! One of best feelings to wear it out for the first time

[@Ashleybrooke667]

I have never made a cardigan before but seeing all these gorgeous ones makes me want to try! I'm going to start with the storyteller, I love long flowing cardigans!

[@ireneherrera3896]

Well I have to say I have never done cardigan, all are beautiful, I like the storyteller best is hard to choose thank you Chandi for another fabulous pattern good luck to all.

[@haruejules]

BALMY looks very therapeutic!!! I made two Ciottolos... it is still one of my favourite patterns EVER!

[@SusanBaker-b1n]

These are stunning patterns! Cardigans are fun to knit, flowing from one section to another.

[@debbiepower3844]

Every one of those cardigans are gorgeous! I've knit a good few pullover sweaters but only one cardigan and that was years ago.

[@teresaanderson9119]

What a beautiful showing of your cardigans! It makes me want to cast on all of them! I have made several cardigans but all of them have been crocheted. I have two knitted ones on needles but haven’t finished them yet. 🫣

[@Arlene3M]

Balmy and sweet gum are on my list for sure. I have never knitted a cardigan.

[@arpitapal8157]

Yes I have made a few. Last one was your Sweetgum. It came out a little large fit for me.

[@tessa5]

The first cardigan I knit was the Sweetgum and it's still one of my favourite knits! The Rubato has been on my to-knit list since it came out, and I love the colourful stripes on Balmy!

[@KnottyBunny-2208]

I have made a cardigan & I will make more soon!

[@lisas7025]

I have only knit one sweater so far and love the look of this Balmy cardigan. It looks like a pattern I could do when I get the time!

[@dawnsabo5664]

I am a fairly new knitter; I have just completed my second sweater and I am so ready to tackle my very first cardigan!! ❤❤❤ Because of you, I don’t feel so nervous! Thanks Chandi!!

[@magwithlove5725]

Love all these cardigans and their colours! Have yet to work on a cardigan but Storyteller stole my heart and would love to make it

[@julericwebster]

I totally love, and will make Balmy. The colours in this video are gorgeous so will be purchasing the yarn. In my 73 years I have given up how many cardigans I have knitted, and am still knitting.

[@lindahinds8388]

I have crocheted a few cardigans and have knitted several pull overs. I love long sweaters. One that goes past my bottom. This is way I love knitting and crocheting. I can always add extra length if I want to. Plus I can find the perfect color and what type of yarn I want to use (with a few exceptions).

[@melissaemery8686]

I have never knit a cardigan before. I made a simple sweater last year for my niece. I’ve been looking for a cardigan pattern for beginners. Thanks for the wonderful suggestions

[@sueemmons5658]

I've knitted a few cardigan s, they're my favorite, and I've not done a stripped one before, so I'll probably do the balmy one next. And, wow, all of the yarn specs for different amount of strips is just awesome! Thanks for that!

[@michellevangurp2827]

I have not quite acquired the skill yet to make a cardigan, but I have many that my mama has made me and my kiddos over the years. Someday, I hope to try one out on my own!

[@TinaVerdugo]

Oh my goodness,they AND you are so inspiring ❤. I've made a cardigan, my husband was surprised and pleased that I had made it. 😊

[@mhaen7539]

I made a basic cardigan many years ago. With all the pretty ones you just shared, it’s time to think about making another.i love the cables on the Rubato.

[@ainsleymorris5729]

I have NEVER made a cardigan before. I don't know why. It's my favorite sweater style as I can get it on and off in a hurry. Chill? Put it on. Hot Flash? Take it off...QUICKLY! LOL All of these patterns are beautiful!

[@PamelaCooper-r6p]

I'm totally in love with the new Balmy pattern but I love ALL of EFA's patterns and yarns. Yes, I've made cardigans and I'm looking at the site now to add Balmy to my list!

[@monglingwong6253]

I haven’t made a cardigan before but I’m planning to make ‘Marine’!

[@LoriHolcomb-y8b]

I have made a cardigan that was pieced together, but have never made one that isn’t it seamlessly bottom up. All of these designs are beautiful.

[@janetcannonteacher]

I love the EFA cardigans! I've made several as a tester, and it's so fun to see them finished and modeled!

[@QuentinAkazie6573]

Already did one cardigan - Ibisco. Sweetgum cardigan, here I come!

[@KKemperCheesebrew]

Balmy is Gorgeous! I Love those Fall colors!! I have made a Hexi Cardi but that's the only one.

[@karenfable6468]

Love love Balmy and sweet gum. So inspired by these patterns

[@angelamosley1108]

I am in the process of making my first cardigan (crochet). I've never done a knitted one (yet). That long duster one is my jam 😊

[@lauralesko1255]

Cardigans are on my to do! I love all these options; the Infinitesimal and Rubato are gorgeous! Heck, so are the others! 💗🥰😍

[@tormakhmariajulia955]

All of them are ….. amazing, gorgeous, adorable and all positive things I can think of. Your yarns are so …special

[@EvieO1950]

Such a lovely fall color scheme that really shines in that new Balmy cardigan. The Sweetgum is beautiful too. I’ve only made a few tops and haven’t got up the nerve to try a cardigan yet. I’m saving this pattern though! Thank you Chandi!

[@jenniferwlasniewski8089]

I tried to make a cardigan years ago and frogged the attempt. I've decided since then not to let anything intimidate me, and now I'm ready to go for it again. I have infinitesimal in my sights!

[@christinarae5603]

Oh goodness, I love those cables on Rubato. I've not been brave enough to make a cardigan or a sweater. But I adore making cables. Have a glorious weekend everyone!

[@susanarvidson457]

Those are all beautiful. I have not made a cardigan but I recently made my first pullover. It was fun!

[@rossyfarina-strauss2815]

Balmy is just gorgeous, just like you! I truly love your videos and your products!!!
