My FINAL SUMMER CROCHET project!

[@chrisc3571]

I DEEPLY appreciate you showing yourself restarting projects until you get them right. As a novice crocheter, you make me feel like all I need to do is try something, think about it, learn from it, and come back better. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@kellywilkinson292]

I really love Vintage. I have used it in multiple projects. It wasn’t intentional but the colors are great and I love working with it.

[@raebae90]

The amount of flops that I have and don’t wear because I could tell I was messing up but I was over half way done and my spirit couldn’t be troubled to undo it! Lol you are a trooper and I love it!

[@caylarivera2804]

Definitely suggest like a merino/cotton or linen/rayon blend if you want something that will drape off you better, and be super cooling to wear in summer. Cotton bamboo is really nice for that too, and like more of a DK weight or a sport weight for the drape factor 🧶♥️

[@charliechristie9916]

Alas. I started making one of these, and I was like, I shall follow Michelle. She made all the different versions so I don't have to! Awesome, I prefer the long stripe, yes, two rows, and I can do this without having to frog half a cardigan... And by the time I had the arm almost wide enough, I figured I want it shorter. So... I guess I'm going to start a second half... And repeat your mistakes

[@meganlaynecrafts]

Frogging and restarting is so relatable. It sure turned out great! ❤

[@MoonbeamAtKnight]

When the RV is a rocking, Michelle is a talking.

[@michelle_jasek]

😂

[@julianalinares9002]

Oooomg I couldn't figure out why I was disliking the hexagon top I am making, but now I know 😅 Thank youu

[@jsapcakrrow]

It turned out great! I like how it looks buttoned & unbuttoned. 😁

[@cranberry420]

To me, summer has ended nearly a month ago, because when first chanterelles come, as well as blackcurrants get ripe, that is when autumn has started! But I also live in a place that's covered in snow like 4-6 months of the year, so I can't really speak on when the autumn starts for most. Love this project! I'm currently working on yule/holidays gifts!!

[@Hooksandsnuggles]

Long videos are the best to crochet and watch!! Also love showing the reality of crochet and restarting!!!

[@ashleyo413]

I love that you showed your restarts and explained your logic behind it!! Sometimes it sucks but in the end, it’s exactly how you like it

[@abaeterno]

Frogging absolutely DESTROYS my motivation to finish something, and I wish it didn’t. I decided to make a bag for myself for my birthday (bc all of my crochet projects are for other people) and I got to row 42 of 44. Looked at it. My finger had rope burn from the yarn. And I took 2/3 of the rows off to restart it. I’m so happy I did, but it was definitely a hard decision. 💀 but I told myself I’m gonna finish the bag come hell or high water! And this is giving me my motivation back, as always. 💕🫶

[@ngozi230]

5:45 honestly I liked it that way! Reminds me of starbursts candy, like in an assorted bag 🍬🍭

[@lilaboss6894]

God bless you for sharing your "mistakes"! You learned with each attempt and ended up with something you really wanted instead of an item that will just sit in a drawer or bin - unused.

[@TheHueTherapist]

My reaction to the notification of your new video to my partner… “oh Michelle dropped a new video” his face 🤔, me “the 80’s style lady”, him “ohhhh” 😂😂😂

[@michelle_jasek]

😂😂

[@patch5383]

Honestly I love watching you troubleshoot issues and work it out, it’s motivating. Also I think since this has a decent percentage of natural fibre in it you should be able to wet block it and stretch it out a bit so it fits the way you want it more.

[@bridgetloosen1188]

You make the most adorable cardigans sweaters you make. ❤️❤️😁

[@crochethobbylot8221]

I love the form fitting on you. It looks absolutely cute on you. Don't change it.

[@quirkyaspen]

This is actually the cutest thing everrrr

[@robinmccamont]

Honestly, Michelle, that top is adorable! I LOVE how you achieved the vertical stripes down the length of the body, too. I really don’t like horizontal stripes on my body (I’m a child of the 60’s, and I was raised to avoid horizontal stripes at all costs!), so I admire your persistence in developing a method to create vertical stripes. You should release a pattern for it! And, btw, the top looks very nice both open and closed on you! Take care…!

[@melodymalone4076]

I love the colors and buttons so much!! Im glad you restarted it until you liked it cause then you have something you like better. Also its called an extended hexagon cardigan when it starts with the longer side.

[@kryysberry]

I'm literally sitting here with 4 different starts to a raglan crochet sweater and honestly... I really needed to see all the different attempts you had to do with yours hahaha getting projects to look -just- how you want them really is a process

[@hbkgirl1982]

The color of the buttons works great for the project as it brings out the pink

[@StetStitches]

Totoro is such a lil stink! Cats like to bite wool yarn because the lanolin, the natural oils from the sheep, smell like their mom did! That and for attention. 😂 love how the sweater turned out. It was definitely worth all the restarts. Also! I’m not sure if you blocked it yet, but it may grow a little, and cling less.

[@eliseelise9711]

I love your videos but also your cat. Shes so funny😂 shes like excuse me i desserve the finest pets now human ! What a cuddle bug ❤

[@bridgetloosen1188]

Do a tutorial on your hexagon cardigans. Saw old videos you actually did tutorials. Love them you are so talented

[@lifewithhollyt]

Oh my goddess, those colors are to die for! I'm currently still working on a SPRING project 🤣🤣I'm going to start my Autumn / Winter / Christmas projects

[@miss_crochet_queen]

❤❤❤❤❤❤..I love ur videos ...keep em coming !! I over think.like that when my vision isn't coming out how I wanted it to.(did that with the new anniversarycakes ) ...sooo glad u did restart , and got it how u wanted ..looks sooo good !!

[@blissprokop6239]

The shape looks lovely when buttoned. Js. Well done on your top.

[@MaryHill]

Been away so now playing catch up on your videos!! I didn’t think I’d love the colours you’ve used, but I do!! I also love the way you’ve done this, definitely better than a regular hexagon cardigan… going to have to go research more on how you done this 👌🥰

[@hannahlesann1776]

For what it's worth, I think it looks really cute when buttoned up. But the way it looks is ultimately up to you, regarding how you feel about it

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

Good morning 🌄🌞 blessings ☕ awesome 💯😎

[@princessleah9092]

It looks beautiful!!

[@kittycrumplecookie]

Oh to have the patience that you do

[@pamelarobinson1379]

10 out of 10 :) Thumbs up!

[@ASquareGranny]

I’m giving the project a 9.5/10! I think it’s FANTABULOUS but I agree, lighter weight yarn would’ve been perfect. That being said, I also think it LOOKS SO SO GOOD on you BUTTONED or not! It’s VERY flattering!!! I am in love! Thank you so much for being “real” with us and showing the process - all of it; that’s me and always me, lol. It just is really reassuring to see others struggle (& frog) like I do. And the colors?! Chefs’. Kiss. (The buttons, too, of course). Thanks for another wonderful video…I feel like I’m handing out with a pal (or a daughter, I guess, as we have 4 sons older than you are! Lol). Hugs and brightest blessing from Ohio! ☺️🫶🏻🧶✌🏻🧙🏻 xxx

[@michelle_jasek]

Aww thank you so much 😊

[@morningmoondove5065]

I have nvr liked a hexi. Idk why but you have shown me why. I really Love❤ how your top came out. Perhaps i will give it ago after all. Your top really is fabulous.🙂 BTW its cute buttoned up on you. But i get it.

[@GinaAhrens]

What was the tutorial you watched to figure out how to do the sweater?

[@faithdockendorff4747]

I want to know too! I love that the stripes go all the way down. What I dislike most about hexi cardigans is the horizontal bands/stripes right around my hips🤪

[@acutler]

Look up extended hexagon cardigan. There should be a few that pop up. It’s a great way to add the body length while maintaining the pattern.

[@michelle_jasek]

I have now linked the video i used in the description 😊

[@veronicap7105]

This makes me feel a little better cause I've reused the same yarn 3 times bc I didnt like the end project which were 2 different pullover sweaters 😅 I'm trying for a hexagon carigan but I'm taking a pause on it 😅

[@adelacoburn1396]

Hello Michelle, that turned out really cute 💛🧡

[@simpulacra]

hahahaha omfg no joke I went through the EXACT same process doing the shirt I'm working on now 😂 that is too funny. I even have the last square attempt I started before I did the long tail one staring at me while I write this 👀 lmao

[@heidik1757]

You should put brown wooden buttons :)

[@SilverRoseFox]

This makes me want to make a hexagon cardigan, I haven’t even finished my first project yet 😂

[@madzcreates]

Rayon aka viscose is bamboo + synthetic fibers

[@rosateresacastro-vargas8592]

Michelle, could you send the link to the video for the different way of making the jacket. It's not a hexagon, but a pentagon, and I would like to learn for myself. Thanks. I do like your video. I've been crocheting for many years, and sometimes you have to frog it multiple times to make it right. Kudos!

[@lisadrake6165]

Love this! In the middle of my first hexagon top. I would like to attempt this style. What is it called pkease?

[@wallysworld3435]

Oh, I wish you’d have linked the video you used, though I think I know which one. If not a cotton then a cotton blend. And maybe a DK or sport. There’s also a way to decrease sleeve width pretty much from the git-go. But it looks so so perfect.

[@michelle_jasek]

I’ll find the video and link it in the description for you😊

[@wallysworld3435]

not the one I was thinking, but I do have that one saved already. Peppermint shirt by Jenny and teddy does the extended side and bottom the same way.

[@kristalburns3490]

You have a wool content in there. You might be able to block it out to give you a little more room. Give it a good soak and pin it out wider.

[@rachelpalitto8764]

I have a hexi cardi on my list to make for a friend. I like the look of the stripes straight down on the front! What is the tutorial you used?

[@michelle_jasek]

I have linked it in the description 😊

[@MarikoIchigo]

Try this again with a different yarn but Halloween theme 🧡💜🖤🙈

[@JBCohen_87]

this is amazing! I do have a question and I don't know if i've asked it before but where did you get your hook. it looks very comfy and easy to use.

[@michelle_jasek]

It’s from BWA woodturning. I have linked their website in my description 😊

[@JBCohen_87]

@@michelle_jasek Thank you so much. It looks like it's an amazing hook.

[@miajones6302]

I have re-started crocheting the Taylor Swift dress 5 times because I did not know that the length grow all 4 times I chained 136 that reached my knees and when I try it on the dress reached my ankles. Help why

[@robzombie69]

an umbrella academy or mcr themed crochet video when 👀

[@michelle_jasek]

I saw the scarf klaus was wearing in one scene in the new season, and now i have to make it! 😂

[@almadeliagallegosdiaz8802]

Where did you get the tutorial for the pattern?

[@michelle_jasek]

I linked it in the description

[@melimsah]

"It's a shooting star!" .... sure.... yeah, a shooting star... *cough*

[@abbey4750]

Let's just pretend umbrella academy season 4 didn't happen...

[@broella6493]

You talk so fast and jump around with your project..I can’t keep up with what you’re doing. It causes me anxiety.. I do love your kitty though..🐈‍⬛
