My First Big Comfy Knit Sweater

[@flipvids04]

Marley is a BOSS! knits without looking and talking to camera! Goals

[@crystalsmith2990]

I really like this lady! She's really upbeat and happy. She does a few things different, but she really knows her stuff!

[@MarlyBird]

+Crystal Smith well, you made my day! Thank you so much!

[@pennykobernusz5289]

I like the way Marly shows the different methods of knitting and purling, going back and forth between them. Thank you for a great lesson.

[@MarlyBird]

thank you.

[@dianelap67]

Thanks Marly, I've been knitting for over 70 years now and I'm still learning new things from you. My mom taught me when I was very young, and because I was sitting in front of her and watching her I now knit backwards lol...I tried other ways and for me at my age I'm going to stick to my old ways. You are doing a great job as a teacher for all the young knitters out there, keep up the good work. And also I love your mom, such a good sense of humour you are lucky to have her in your life.

[@Laurabeth9999]

you have become my new knitting guru. You are the first person who has been able to explain everything on the pattern to make it understood!

[@LindaCBMediaGroup]

Just watched this tutorial for the first time, love it. I'm going to make it for my first "full" sweater. I will need to shorten the length of the body, as tunic style sweaters bunch up when a person is in a wheelchair. Being able to knit and crochet my own will allow me to wear fashionable sweaters again. Thanks for all your tutorials and podcast, I've been learning a lot from them.

[@LindaCBMediaGroup]

One of the biggest helps is the section on seaming it up. It's one part the can really stress out someone who's new to making knitted and crocheted garments.

[@fuzzylimefairy]

I can crochet up a storm but was NEVER able to knit till I watched this video! OMG! I can knit. I have watched hundreds of knitting videos with no luck. The way you teach is simple and to the point. I am so glad I came across yours. I cant thank you enough. What a great Christmas gift.... to finely learn to how to knit.

[@tammi67able]

Congratulations that’s the way I feel too

[@pamelareith870]

You are so comforting and upbeat.. I wish I had a friend like you! Thank you for doing this even though it's been years since you did this.

[@margauxwolson4226]

Loving Marly! Wish I had a knitting buddy like her. She’s so knowledgeable and makes everything seem really easy.

[@nuralp1881]

You are very sympathetic.🤗🤗your projects are just my style.😊😊

[@deborahholtgentry1200]

I learned more in these 49 minutes than in the last 50 years about knitting. Thank you for the basics!!

[@MarlyBird]

+Deborah Holt Gentry wow, that is a huge compliment! Thank you.

[@peaches2766]

Just finished my great sweater ! Thx Marly!! This yarn is great, too bad n sad they discontinued it. Grr. Thinking about trying it again making it shorter and more great practice- knitting n sewing together .

[@soulsisterssurvivorssister8463]

I absolutely love your teaching style. please don't stop making videos.

[@gabeferreira2841]

I love this woman, beautiful tutorial , teaches the right way and I love how you explain the pattern cuz I stink at reading patterns and I wish I could understand it , I think crochet is even worse to understand, thank you , hope to see more beautiful tutorials like this

[@sabiduria56gr]

The blue color that you are putting together is gorgeous.

[@annaray5169]

I'm new to knitting, been a crocheter for 37 years but watching you has made it easy to learn. Thank you for the videos. Going to start this sweater, wish me luck 💕

[@mariehodosi3148]

This girl is such an excellent knitting teacher, I'm just learning how to knit and understood everything that was shown and explained. I'm so excited to get knitting this comfy sweater pattern. I pray I can follow this pattern as easily as Marly Bird showed how to achieve completing the sweater. Thank you!

[@nogaly123]

I wanted to say thank you. You are amazing. It's the first time that there's a video that actually explains how to do both sleeves and no just saying "do the other sleeve exactly the same", without actually showing the process. It helped me so much. So thank you very much!.

[@samrenee6632]

Ive always been a crocheter, and have tried to knit, but I was never good at it. My niece was 10 when she learned and when she was 13 started a knit club at her school on lunch hour. When she was 16 she made her Mom a sweater. I was inspired and this year I have been practicing knit stitch only, always had a problem with purl.....but found this video, because I love sweaters and this was beautiful and have decided to make this. I love this tutorial. You show different ways to purl, and I love how you just are so relaxed and so informative.....I cant wait to make this sweater!!!!!!!! I think any future projects I will come to this page. Thank Marly for giving me inspiration for knitting

[@MarlyBird]

+Sam Renee bless you :) mwah! Xoxo

[@xhilr8on523]

Really appreciate your help.

[@YolieW]

I am a left handed crocheter and always have felt intimidated by knitting. You have made this seem so easy. I am ready to start. Thank you

[@beverlymccall7575]

Gathered my supplies. Will soon begin by swatch to determine gauge.

[@stellaraj3741]

Thank you SO MUCH Marly for very patiently teaching us to knit such a beautiful comfy sweater! You also taught to do invisible seam. With your sweet smile, I think you have won the heart of the knitters! Please keep up the good work. Thanks again God Bless

[@herohonda420]

Marly please make more videos with your mom. I have recently learned knitting watching those videos.

[@carra_simply_crocheting_2451]

This sweather is so easy to knit than I thought. Thank you for teaching this 😊 can't wait to make one for myself 🧶🙌🏽💖 you're a awesome knitting teacher and Crochet teacher 👏🏽

[@nicoleiannuzzi449]

You are such a great teacher! I am crochet person now trying knitting. I feel I can do this because of your lesson here! I am so excited 😁

[@MarlyBird]

I'm glad I could help. I plan on doing a solely Mattress Stitch Seaming video sometime soon but I am happy that this one got you where you needed. :)

[@kellycoleman7898]

Wow. You are an awesome instructor. You are awesome. I think I’m just shocked that it’s been explained so well. Thank you

[@robingirard5423]

I learned to knit before crochet. I haven't had the desire to knit til this video. Gonna pick me up a set of needles and practice. I'm excited to try. Wish I had s at of needles Ty for video.

[@lindalangeheine5787]

Thanks to your wonderful teaching, I have tried many new projects and patterns. If I hit a hurdle, I just see what Marly Bird has to say about it. And I'm off in the right direction again! Thank you.

[@wvalohaful]

Great sweater for a beginner. Looking forward to a tutorial on a basic top down, raglan sleeve sweater. Thank you. Your instructions are very clear.

[@vickie5394]

Hi Marly, I taught myself to knit a few months back, still learning alot of course, and I just want to tell you that you are a fantastic teacher! Keep up the good work! Thank you!

[@Jennifer-oz8ec]

The nicest pattern I've seen in a long time. I have downloaded the pattern and will be making that for me. You are an excellent instructor and have a lovely smile. You break down every detail to ensure that nothing is misunderstood by demonstrating each detail very clearly. Thank you!!!!

Thank you Marly Bird for this wonderful tutorial, I've been knitting for several years now (self taught by watching youtube videos lol) I've knitted baby blankets and hats but I've never knitted a sweater, I've always wanted to, but to intimidated to try, until now, I love how you go step by step with the pattern and make it simple to understand. You gave me the confidence that I needed, I'm going to give this a try, cannot wait to get started. I think you are an amazing teacher, thank you for all your hard work, love all of your tutorials. Keep up the great work. God Bless

[@herohonda420]

Hi Marly, I have watched your video just now. I have had a bit of a hard time with learning to knit and understanding the stiches. I have found your video very helpful and easy to comprehend! So thank you very much indeed for the time and efford you have made to show us and thank you for sharing! I now feel confident enough to try it our 🤗

[@jenitude1]

You are a great teacher! great video!!

[@intheparlance]

I've been knitting and crocheting for many years. I make afghans, dog sweaters, and scarves mostly, because when I attempted to make garments for myself they were so heavy and pulled out of shape (big girl here). I've been browsing lately for something that might work for me, and this sweater looks fairly light. I'm going to try it! Wish me luck!

[@khaley37781]

Wonderful tutorial! Clear and easy to understand. Thank You!

[@HappyCat3096]

Great discussion on finishing.

[@alisonzaccagnini1528]

Thank you. So clear instructions. Nice beautiful hands! Will be tasking this knitting project.

I love your teaching technique. Really looking forward to making the sweater.

[@muniraismail1158]

Thanks really good teacher I will make one this, you have great patience and I appreciate how you teach step by step.

[@JK-bb7wc]

This video is sooo good. I just started to learn how to knit and I have finished a small scarf. I wanted to do knit a sweater for my mum and I couldn't find a good video for beginners. You have made it so easy and the design looks so beautiful. I am definitely going to try this and I will let you know once I have finished. Thank you!!

[@iotaultsch]

How divine! My Mom taught me your exact long tail method for casting on. I didn't know what that casting on method was called and got terribly confused with the method shown on Wool and the Gang youtube channel which totally complicated the method. I LOVE your tutorials Marly. You're knowledgeable and kind. Thank you.

[@sheilaspick]

Really great way of teaching!..bravo..thank you marly, i’m starting my big comfy sweater today..God bless you

[@amaalahmed4366]

[@samstrainstation2220]

cool I'm going to try this sweater for next winter I've been knitting for 4yrs.

[@visaharris]

Thank you. It was really easy to follow along and took the stress of trying to understand the written pattern away. Look forward to more videos...hopefully one on seed stitch ruffled wrap :)

[@needlepullingthread1573]

Marry you ROCK. Thank you so much. I started my sweater today Micheals had Red Heart Soft for $2.50 a skein today! Whoop whoop

[@QUEENIEUNIVeRSaL]

Thanks for giving and sharing on knitting sweaters.

[@mosaicmagpie5640]

The yarn in your long tail cast on looks like a heart as it is wrapped around your fingers. Perfect for Red Heart yarn!

[@MarlyBird]

I’ve knitted hats and leg warmers and scarves but that’s as ‘advanced’ as I’ve gotten. I would love to knit a sweater. This pattern was confusing to read but if I follow along with this video I should be able to do this! Thank you! It’ll be my first real garment!
