#menscrochetsweater #ribbedsweatertutorial #knittingpodcast #crochetpattern
Welcome to my tutorial. In this tutorial I will demonstrate the step by step process on how to start the yoke of this men's X-Large Sweater pattern. It starts with a HDC Foundation chain and increases! I willl show you on how to split the yoke for the sleeves! I use Loops and Threads Barcellona yarn, with a size 7 mm hook!

Neck not fitting properly

It came out really looking great.... curious how it’s made so I’m watching.

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Glad you're watching. Terrible lighting and very amateurish, but it's a good pattern, if I do say so myself....LOL

[@DenisEssiambre]

I started crocheting a year ago, and my goal is to make myself some sweaters. This one is def on my list. Where can I get a written pattern to go along with the video tutorial? Im not a regular shape and have to alter as I go lol. Love the video and love this pattern.

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Unfortunately, I have not yet written it up. It will happen eventually. Sorry :(

[@Kimscrochetandknits]

I thought that was bernats wavelength at first then I realized the ball band was white like loops and thread ..I'm going to make one for my hubby

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Can't wait to see it

[@priyarameshottur]

Hats off to u for ur effort taken for the explanation. How much base chains should be made for L size. TIA

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

The chain count depends on the bulkiness of the yarn and size of crochet hook. You want to get a sweater your son wears and measure the neck. Chain enough to go around the neck.

[@beverleysimmons8080]

Gorgeous sweater girl love it

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Thank You!

[@mslinneab]

Such a good tutorial! Very clear and educational, thank you for this. Gonna make a sweater for my dad now!

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Sounds great! I would love to see it when it's done!

[@shezcal]

Love this sweater. How many stitches for medium-large or stitch count repeat please?

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

I don't have a stitch count. I would suggest that you use a lighter yarn (this was bulky) or a smaller needle and just measure the person's neck. Also ensure that the stitch count is divisible by 4 for the increases. Hope that's clear.

[@shezcal]

@@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281 Good suggestions, thank you.

[@peterdauwe7895]

One question for this lovely sweater, the increase in shoulder, do i also include those increases as fpfc and dc before i do dc-ch2-dc. I didn't at first and the shoulder was flat. Tx

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

There isn't an increase "in the shoulder". All increases are the DC-CH2-DC at the four points. You should follow the FP, DC pattern as already established by the row before. The other place this might happen in during the decreases in the arms. I hope this is clear.

[@peterdauwe7895]

@@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281 indeed, rewatched the video 5 times and than it hit me : follow the pattern fpdc-dc. So simple but so beautifull ! Tx

[@Leilaghosh]

If it was an open jacket.. does it have the same dimensions as well as a closed jacket??? And how can we divide them

[@geetadeshmukh8914]

Thankyou so much for the step by step guided instructions for this pattern. I have a question. I am using a size 4 hook. So I may need extra stitches. In that case what should be the multiple for extra stitches?

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

I don't have those kind of details available. I would suggest that you measure the radius of the neck hole you would want and ensure that you have the right number of stitches. Always make sure that it is divisible by four so the increases at the arms are equal.

[@geetadeshmukh8914]

Thankyou 😊 I'll try. When I complete my sweater I'll post it to you.

[@Stephanie0419]

Hi Rosie, greetings from Spain. What other yarn can I use instead of Loops and threads? That yarn is exclusive of Michael's and they don't send to Spain.

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

You can use anything that is a bulky size 5 if it's for a man. I used a size 4 worsted for me.

[@diywithlisa7361]

I would love to make this for my husband, how ever he needs a USA size 4X. How do you recommend to alter the size XL for the size diffrence?

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Its all about measuring and trying on as you go. I would suggest you do a foundational chain and measure around your husband’s neck or one of his old sweaters that fits. The four increases need to be spaced evenly so try and chain a number divisible by four. Do the yoke the same. Measure from the beginning of the yoke to his underarm. When it is long enough split for sleeves. Add some stitches under the arm for the circumference at the top of his arm.

[@GVSepulveda]

Hello, thank you so much for this great tutorial. This will be my first time doing a top down crochet sweater. I have encountered a little issue when finishing rounds though: somehow I can’t get my first sleeve to increase as my second sleeve as I add more stitches. When I am ready to build the armholes ( after 11 inches from the beginning), I always have a lot less increases on my first sleeve ( beginning of rounds) than in my second sleeve. Do you have a step-by-step written pattern available for purchase? Thank you so much!

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Unfortunately, I have not got around to writing a pattern. I think that as you are making the Yoke, you might be missing a stitch where you are doing 2DB Chain 2DB. As you are going counter clockwise, there is a stitch between the increase and the existing DB below that always gets missed. I wonder if that is the issue?

[@GVSepulveda]

Hello! Thank you so much for replying to my comment! That was exactly the issue! I started over about 5 times until I figured it out. The sweater turned out great, my husband loves it! Thank you so much😊

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

@@GVSepulveda I would love to see it. Can you send me a picture at [e-mail]?

[@nochannel2940]

I am following your pattern. We have calculated 23+14+23+14 stitches initially. Are you increasing the stitches till we end up with the cone. Is it increased or end up with 23+14+23+14

You cannot order it. I put up the tutorial so that you can make it. I don't sell my finished work.

[@ariesyakanthi]

Hello, Rosie. I'm from Indonesia. How can I get a pattern for this beautiful sweter? I need another size. Thanks a lot ❤

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

I've never got around to publishing a pattern. I would recommend using a smaller hook or yarn. Make a chain and measure it around the yoke to fit the person you are making it for. Thanks for watching.

[@madeleinecharron5472]

Hi. Sorry for my English but I am French. I need to know if you can larger then XL. I love your patern….. and how many ball you need

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Sorry, I don't have any other sizes, however, I would just add more stitches around the neck and then keep increasing under the arms until it fits the person you are making it for. This will add stitches to the torso and the arms.

[@iamshreyagupta]

How many foundation chains for a large size?

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

I've not done different sizing. What I would suggest is to use either a less thicker yarn or a smaller hook. Or maybe both. Do the yoke and then measure.

[@PSOOKUN]

If I want to make this into a medium size how do I adjust this pls want to make one for my son pls

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

I would use a less bulky yarn or go down at least one crochet hook sizes.

[@palomaquerida604]

The stitch numbers are the same as thus tutorial no matter what size hook we use correct?

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

This would depend on the size you want to make and the size of the yarn. You're best to measure the neck of the person and see how many stitches you need making note of the raglan increases at four points.

[@palomaquerida604]

@@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281 thank you for this. I’ll do my best.

[@barbaramuncie2429]

How many for large

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

I don’t have the pattern for many sizes. I would suggest you go down a hook size or a yarn thickness the other option is to measure the neck of the person you are crocheting for and make enough chains for it taking into account the corners.
