[@karaskniteng]

Tysm! 💚

[@britanybeauregard7226]

Love it so much! Are u gonna do something similar for rihanon sweater pattern? I have many questions about the pattern and don’t know how to be successful with it

[@jeebs1298]

Love your content Kara! You should write a book of patterns! Thank you for the videos :)

[@karaskniteng]

Ooo I’d love to write a book!

[@mikekongz2609]

And also love ur work

[@fernandasabaudo]

Hello Kara, I love your videos and your knits! I got inspired to learn to knit, so I'm so a newbie with knit. I want to knit this sweater as first try to make a sweater, but I see on the time 7:45 min. that you're using 2 string of brown yarn to knit. For the first part are we supposed to use 2 strings in the same time or only 1? From the pattern tutorial I understood was only one. thanks for the video!!

[@kimititan2658]

Hi! I have a question about the shaping of the neck line? Did you use any short rows or did any kind of shaping? And if you did is it in the pattern pdf itself?

[@camillajensenthorup7395]

I don’t understand the description on how the end piece (6x6 rows) at the body of the sweater is fastened and cast off. I believe you do it differently in the video than the pattern, but I would like the fold?

[@Mehhnique]

Hi a question i have is how long is the orange cord

[@palomatade525]

How many grams or length of yarn did u use?

[@bibisibap7461]

Can one follow the pattern normally when taking a double-strain to knit? And also is this the better days sweater?

[@kyher_]

hi kara! your videos are a huge help !! what brand of needles do you recommend?

[@karaskniteng]

I love knitters pride!

[@shelleybusby]

When talking about removing the jog am I slipping the first stitch purlwise but keeping the stitch marker in the same place for the row? So the slip stich is the first stitch of the next row?

[@karaskniteng]

Yep!

[@shelleybusby]

Perfect I’ve been doing it right!

[@nenavandepas7892]

i have a question! i want to make the better day sweater lite, do you also knit with double yarn with that sweater? and do you use the same amount of yarn as recommended on the pattern if you do this?

[@karaskniteng]

It’s held single! And the yardage should be in the pattern!

[@user-dw4uy8hc1q]

Hi! I’m having a super hard time with the increasing and where to do it (I’m a beginner) I’m following the pattern but I don’t quite understand the part where it says for right increase stop before stitch marker or which ones I do left and right :( I would appreciate help!

[@karaskniteng]

If you have 10 stitches in the section, it should be knit 1, make 1 left, knit 8, make 1 right, knit 1

[@giadacirelli6923]

Hi Kara, I purchased your 'mohair sweater' pattern and I can't figure out how much thread I need. I'm purchasing from the Hip knit Shop site and the measurements for each ball are 50g x 100m, in the file you wrote that 5 skeins of 200g x 80m are needed, how do I deal with the site? could you help me? I need to make a size S sweater

[@karaskniteng]

I usually do 3 of each color when making a small!

[@giadacirelli6923]

@@karaskniteng thank you so so much sweetness🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

[@mikekongz2609]

Wow u look so beautiful n ur voice

[@itsk4ya]

does your pattern also work with a different wool?

[@karaskniteng]

Yep, any wool that meets gauge

[@user-qd1mc5dq4z]

How much yarn should I get?

[@milaeabdo5018]

I wanna know too 🥹

[@giadacirelli6923]

me toooooo

[@tennitus]

Can I use the different yarn and smaller needles?

[@user-cf4vz9ov2i]

please tell me if I can buy your pattern if I am from Russia?

[@timidgeek]

is there no special trick for the underarms, just drop the sleeve stitches and continue to knit around? i didn’t really understand in the pattern or video 😅🫶🏼

[@timidgeek]

i think i was overthinking it - classic me 😅 this pattern is really beautiful and i’m loving how flexible my sweater is working up. using loops & threads marbled yarn from michael’s. can’t wait to collect more of your patterns 💖

[@Medaaaaaakkss]

Hello, ı wish you explain that how you crocet this sweater.

[@karaskniteng]

It’s actually knit!

[@eduardolotivio1544]

Isnt it scratchy? - nichole

[@karaskniteng]

Depends on the yarn you use but the mohair I use is really soft!

[@9722353333]

Beautiful!! Thanks
