Plz sis share this sweater tutorial i luv it m waiting for it 😊

[@catkemble]

@@ainniibutt great, hope you like it 😊

[@ainniibutt]

Hello sis what is this sweater made of?

[@stephanieguyot]

My baby girl Winter will hopefully have a nice little sweater with her name on it soon. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@catkemble]

Oh I love that name 😍 you’re welcome!

[@erikab726]

Tthank you for the simple instructions so easy to follow beautifully done

[@catkemble]

Oh my goodness I love this 💖 you are welcome 🙏

[@corinnedoudna1997]

Going to give Elle a go for my baby that is due in January. Thank you so much for this tutorial!!

[@catkemble]

Hi Corinne, Elle is probably one of the best names you can do, because of how continuous it is ☺️ let me know if you need help on fonts. Big congratulations to you 🤗

[@MrKayleegrady]

Thank you sooo much! This looks so easy to do. It’s a similar to the invisible stitch I use to sew on my pockets to my scrubs when hand nobs rip them off. Doing this my self is a lot cheaper than the $50 to buy one.

[@catkemble]

You're so welcome Kaylee! :)

[@brittanytummers2550]

So nice. I’d like to make some flowers too. I saw some sweaters with daisies on Etsy that looked cute

[@catkemble]

Aww yeah! I’m doing a heart in an upcoming video too 😊

[@emmanuelivienagbor9564]

🎉😊 This is nice

[@kittenscozycreationswithka6218]

Thanks, my niece wants this in her new baby’s sweater.

[@catkemble]

😍😍😍

[@lexiepalmer5060]

I will be doing Witten for my best friends first baby!!

[@catkemble]

Aww such a pretty name! Let me know how it turns out 😍

[@alexisbridenbaugh9028]

Hi! Thank you so much for the tutorial. How long did this take you to do?

[@catkemble]

Hey Alexis! Hmmm, I would say a few hours 😊

[@user-uk6jq6gf8t]

Hi what did you do for the dot on the top of the i? Is it one single chain stitch or a knot? X

[@catkemble]

Hiya, I did a knot for that :)

[@joannfuller1643]

What size embroidery thread did you use? Brand that you prefer?

[@catkemble]

Hi Joann! Nothing fancy, I got it from eBay 😊 it was cotton and the size was 3mm thickness.

[@jn7068]

Hi! What type of yarn do you use for this and type of needle?

[@catkemble]

Hiya! It's a metal darning needle, and 3mm cotton :)

[@erinfreeman4787]

Does it need any backing when you’re finished or is it soft enough to not bother a baby’s skin?

[@catkemble]

No it doesn’t need backing 😊

[@user-np8nc3qi8y]

Do you go in the same hole or make a new hole next to the one the needle came up in?

[@catkemble]

You can do either, as long as they are close it doesn’t matter 😊

[@saraaae23]

I have a pink sweater (so a light pen won't work), what pens can you use that will be able to wash out nicely?

[@catkemble]

Hmm, maybe a highlighter?

[@Raekch5]

You can also use a water soluble marker for embroidery! They disappear when exposed to water 🙂

[@clairemarrow6027]

Hi complete newbie here. Does this class as knitting or embroidery, what kind of needle do I need for something like this? Finding it to be a minefield 🙈

[@catkemble]

Hello, just a tapestry needle ☺️ It is embroidery.

[@amymegx5243]

This is brilliant! The exact tutorial I’ve been searching for🤍

[@catkemble]

Thank you so much Amy!! 💖

[@user-cm2gt6cl2w]

Where the r makes the loop, did it cross over, or did you stop the stitch and start it over so it didn’t have thick stitching there?

[@catkemble]

It crossed over 😊

[@crismeza1]

what font did you use and where did you find it?

[@catkemble]

Hey, I used a Canva font called Nexa Script 😊

[@aimytran2142]

Thank you for the video. Can you show how you thread your yarn slower, I see there’s an extra piece of yarn hanging but am not sure how/why

[@catkemble]

Hi Aimy, it’s doubled over, is that what you mean? 🙂

[@aimytran2142]

@@catkemble yes! I think? Lol. Can you show us a short video of how to do it?

[@catkemble]

@@aimytran2142 yes I’ll do it as a short ☺️

[@Atlas_Iris]

@catkemble Did you do a short of how you thread the yarn to start this? 😅

[@gerrilynkoontz]

Hi! So pretty What weight yarn do you use?

[@catkemble]

It’s 3mm cotton yarn

[@yvettedelmonte-madrigalmrs5579]

What do you do with the underneath stitches

[@catkemble]

Nothing just let them be as they are 😊

[@Katelynhudson_01]

What is the best way to wash/care for this?

[@catkemble]

Hi Katelyn, hand wash setting is probably best 😊

[@savannahherron6771]

I put mine in a mesh garmet bag and wash on gentle. The bag keeps the yarn from getting hung up or stretched too much in the washer.

[@mandyhumphrey8471]

Can I ask where you purchased the jumper please

[@catkemble]

Hi Mandy, you can get the jumper from Amazon. There is a link in the description ❤️

[@user-fi1oq2wk6z]

Where did you buy the sweater from?

[@catkemble]

Amazon 😊

[@marybuehlsaghafi4123]

Making one for Delaney

[@catkemble]

Yes Mary!!! 🤩

[@lisareneecairo123]

What weight of yarn are you using gif the name?

[@catkemble]

It’s 3mm cotton yarn I got from eBay 😊

I know you’re very skilled in this, but how long does one name take you typically?

[@catkemble]

I would say if you set aside an hour that would be plenty 😊

[@mariatenaglia5891]

That is not the correct way to make a chain stitch and an easier method make your font on canva and place your sweater over the iPad and trace and use a water soluble marker or disappearing ink.

[@catkemble]

Thanks Maria that’s a great idea 😊

[@zuleikadutfield1967]

Can I ask how you trace over the iPad? I can’t seem to figure it out?

[@mariatenaglia5891]

@@zuleikadutfield1967 yo must go on canva and the font I use is very berry enlarge the name and place it under the sweater trace with water soluble pen and then embroider
