My top 10 favorite hand knit sweaters!

[@stephanienappa8459]

So fun to see all the sweaters together! And it's fun to hear how they've worn over time. I feel like podcasts so often talk about knits when they're fresh but not many go back and talk about them after they've worn in. Nice to hear that perspective!

[@MsAmira1988]

These are so beautiful. I'm still very much a beginner, but something to aspire to

[@Knitterbug]

You can do it! Sweaters are much easier than you would think. :) so many great beginner patterns out there!

[@76suezq]

I can't remember when I have enjoyed a video as much as this one. You are extremely knowledgable, and very pleasant to listen to. Thanks so much for posting this.

[@TaylorOwen]

Wow! Thank you so much!!!

[@QuietHappinessKnits]

It was so fun to see so many of your sweaters, especially with you wearing them all. I always enjoy hearing what people like or would change about their previous projects, it helps me think differently about what I am or want to make.

[@kismetbridgeforth9131]

Your craftmanship is beautiful!!! Some folks would be surprised if they understood how much skill goes into great handknits.

[@marie-agnesbertrand4182]

[@annlarson4916]

So enjoyable and inspiring!

[@anishaislam7130]

My god, these patterns are EXPENSIVE. My broke, beginner self could never lmao. But you have great taste in sweaters. These are all so adorable.

[@TaylorOwen]

I know what you mean... so much work goes into making them for us that in the end, I can totally justify the price. It does require some restraint on my end to be financially responsible and not buy them when they are released but instead, right before I cast on. I’ll be hosting a free pattern giveaway of the knitters choosing very soon, stay tuned!

[@victoriaguerin2851]

There are so many free patterns on Ravelry that it's worth looking for something similar if you can't afford the pattern you want. I also look for older patterns and then check Ebay for the books or issues (Interweave etc.) in which they were originally published. You can often get the whole book used for the price of just the pattern. I've found some wonderful knitting books on Ebay and at thrift shops. Libraries also have knitting books or can get them in interlibrary loan.

Hi Taylor.....How are you? Thank you for sharing your top ten sweaters, you truly are a gifted knitter.....I enjoy knitting very much and TRY to create lovely knitted items.....as expressed, I TRY, but, not every project turns out great, but, I do believe that practice is the only way to become more skilled, plus, I do enjoy the challenge of attempting different patterns. I like that you have tried so many different sweaters, and you provide interesting commentary about each project-----which gives great insight to the viewer (i.e. mentioning that 'felting' can occur under the arm pits).......so thank you for showing all your magnificent sweaters. I would say the only thing that is more lovely than your sweaters is your hair.....it is so pretty. Stay healthy and happy....sincerely, Lynda

It has been the first colorwork sweater I made and although it is a beautiful design I don’t wear it a lot. Thanks for showing!

[@sunnyw4148]

Thanks very informative. Just found you and can't wait to watch more.

[@TaylorOwen]

[@melonie_peppers]

They look so expensive and quality. Wow beautiful

[@Enig_Mata]

They are expensive 😂. By the time you're done factoring in the cost of quality yarn and the time spend knitting, they are far more expensive than most sweaters purchased. Still...I'm all for it. Which is the primary reason I invest in quality yarn so the garment lasts a very long time.

[@tricothon]

[@wandab3843]

The Norah Gaughan sweater is really beautiful.

[@user-fc3sx2cw5x]

I absolutely loved all of your sweaters, they’re very delicate and beautiful; I always get attracted to cropped-isn style sweaters because they suit dresses and skirts much better than longer sweaters do. Just wondering: what knitting needle sizes do you find yourself using a lot and/or which sizes did you use to make the cropped style sweaters in this video? Would you say mostly between 3mm-4mm needles? Or smaller/bigger? Knowing this will really help me buy the right sizes of needles to start off because I am interested in knitting similar cropped-ish sweaters as you :)

[@TaylorOwen]

I typically get gauge on US 4, US 5, or US 7, but I would use a 6 if it gets the gauge. I can’t recommend a full interchangeable set enough. I use these from knitters pride, but everyone has their preference. www.google.com/shopping/product/16597875862603920130?q=knitter%27s+pride+interchangeable+needles&client=safari&hl=en-us&biw=414&bih=719&tbs=vw:g,ss:44&prmd=sivn&sxsrf=ALeKk02ZP_pN4GNNSubGmmyq-S0bmGwTug:1613148540205&prds=eto:15693526112013676077_0,cdl:1,prmr:1,cs:1

[@sueedwards9334]

[@teriadams7398]

Very nice work. Ask Meg or Cully Swanson if Schoolhouse Press about the puckering in that one yoke sweater. Meg's mother is Elizabeth Zimmerman the Queen of yoke sweaters, sadly she's passed now, but they can help you

[@TaylorOwen]

It’s definitely the volume of increasing in a single row. I love EZ!

[@debo7101]

Would you recommend the Ola Yoke Sweater for an absolute beginner in sweater knitting? Knitted a lot, but mostly shawls, loops, hats... No sweater yet. I would really like a long lasting colorwork sweater and the Ola Yoke is stunning.

[@TaylorOwen]

I would say so, yes. Especially if you have the patience for fingering weight yarn. It was one of the first few sweaters I think I knit… bottom up sweaters are difficult to gauge in terms of fit, but it is a well written pattern. ❤️🧶😊

[@debo7101]

@@TaylorOwen thanks for your tips - thats true, I didn‘t consider the thickness of the yarn first. I decided on another pattern, which is a much thicker sweater with bulky yarn. I just started knitting - also bottom up. The Ola Yoke is on my ToDo-List😊

[@yeutruyen8146]

I like your dress you wore underRanunculus, could you please tell me where you got it?

[@TaylorOwen]

🎯 Target ✨

[@chrissy24-7]

Would you close up that wide neck line on the long sweater with color work on the bottom? I think you could sew it up on each side? I have long arms too, do you add a certain amount of rows to your sweaters? I haven't done one yet so don't know

[@TaylorOwen]

I usually add about 2” of length to sleeves. 🧶

I can recommend to make your own deodorant. I make mine of sheabutter, arrowroot, cornstarch and a little coconut olie. Ad sage for fragrance and antiperspirant. Thank you for the video.

Great idea!!

[@kellyssimplesouthernlife2174]

These sweaters are absolutely beautiful. I learned to knit 3 years ago but have yet to make a sweater. I have only done basic things such as scarves, washcloths and baby items. How did you learn to do this?

[@TaylorOwen]

I’m 100% self taught through the resources of 1. Well written patterns (never underestimate the power of a well written pattern!!!) 2. KZbin stitch tutorials. 3. Passion and determination. If you want to knit a sweater, I believe you can!

[@kellyssimplesouthernlife2174]

@@TaylorOwen ok, I would have thought that you probably grew up under the wing of a devoted grandmother who taught you all her skills and secrets. I can do this, excuses be gone!! Thanks for the inspiration

[@WandaCasamento59]

Could you line( a breathable material (cotton) the underarm area to protect the wool - take a round from an old tee shirt - sew if you have a machine or hand sew with light thread - I hope this idea helps you

[@annmariebusu9924]

I love how the first sweater fits. The bottom shape looks dIfferent from the original. What adjustments did you make.

[@TaylorOwen]

Oh dang... well, first I ought to re-measure my gauge. I mentioned recently how poor I am at measuring. I knit the contract color in a heavier weight (DK) than the main color (fingering)... I think this gave a looser gauge and added inches of ease I did not anticipate originally... then I knit it a bit shorter than the pattern may have called for. I’m learning that I previously didn’t think much about how to effectively communicate my modifications even while planning to share the finished garment details on my podcast. I’m making an effort to take better notes and be more organized in future projects. Thanks for watching!

[@annmariebusu9924]

Taylor Owen thanks for the reply. I really liked the sweater but was disappointed yours looks nicer😂. When I saw the picture on Ravelry I didn’t want to make it anymore 😅. Your sweater is not straight at the bottom. It’s like a smiley face scoop which I like.

[@rh2618]

Maybe sleeves of Ranunculus shrink lengthwise because they stretch out widthwise as you wear and flex arms?

[@rh2618]

To add, seams stabilize fabric. If knit in round without seaming, fabric not as stable.

[@ginafercho4581]

Do you make your skirt or purchase it? It’s beautiful!

[@ashya172]

I love them

[@purplerain2566]

How wonderful sweaters !!! I ordered the same yarns you use for ranunculus sweater cause I really want to have it. May I ask you the needle size you use for this sweater? I searched your project note, but I coudln't find the needle size. I really want to have exact the same one as yours. It's so cool!!!

[@TaylorOwen]

Thank you! It is a very delicate piece of material. I would make it just a little bit longer inn the yoke and body if I were to do it again. The gauge measures 18 sts and 25 rows per 4”

[@purplerain2566]

@@TaylorOwen Thanks a lot for your kind answer. Yeah, I also thought I would make it a little longer in body part. That's why I ordered 4 skeins of the yarn instead of 3. :) Thank you again for your advice. I can't wait to make it!

How hard is it to knit a sweater?! I m a very experienced crocheter and can knit very basically in the round with the basic purl, knit, and ribbing. HELP!

If you can knit and purl, you can learn increasing and decreasing in seconds. Just take your time reading the pattern and work one step at a time. You can do it!
