🍂☕Rory Gilmore’s Cable Knit Sweater Knitting Guide (perfect for beginners!) | Full Tutorial

[@therealdonnawagner]

I'm impressed with how well this turned out despite you being bad at math. Nice work! For what you were saying at 44:38 about the seed stitch section in the center diamond, idk if this helps but my grandma always taught me to do at least 1 reverse stockinette stitch on either side of every cable so it sets it apart from other stitch patterns that might be going on. So, as soon as you end that cable, reverse stockinette, and before you start the next cable, reverse stockinette. As you're forming your first diamond and you have 2 stitches between the cables, they would both be reverse stockinette stitches rather than the seed stitch pattern beginning. Keep up the creative work and thank you for sharing! 😊

[@ikoxun]

omgg this is so helpful to me!! i always wondered why the middle of my diamonds would come out the way that they do and see photos of everyone else’s and it not being like that. i’m definitely going to do this for my next one

[@ikoxun]

Some notes: 🍁Take a shot every time i say stitch 🍁 For the arm measurements section, my swatch was 10 inches in width, yet I divided it by 5. I have no clue why I did that, so I recommend taking the width of your swatch and dividing it by 2 so that you can get a larger cast on amount so the sleeve can be slightly oversized. This number can be used as a leverage point in a way so that if you want to make it larger, you know the minimum you need for your arm size. 🍁 I’m literally so bad at math so I truly hope the calculations I show works for you. Definitely MAKE A SWATCH!! I don’t want you to make the whole sweater and it not be the size you want 🙁 🍁 for the swatch, i realized i didn’t say how to figure out the specific seed stitch amount to do so i would just do 10 seed stitches, 1 stockinette, 2 reverse, an 8 cable, 2 reverse, 1 stockinette, 2 reverse, 4 cable 🍁 This pattern is the most accurate I could’ve gotten to the one she wears in the show and it is only my 2nd time making it, so hopefully you like it. 🍁I love you so much, you guys are literally the sweetest people on this earth 😀

[@zoe.nothando]

Thank you soooo much mijanou

[@Mqu-v6z]

@ikoxun 16:05 Im sorry just a question you did 30×17=170 in fact 30×17=510 did you make 30 instead of 10 cuz I really don't get it its my first time knitting by the way so idk what to do

[@emilyader7371]

Just wanted to comment to help promote the video. It’s obvious to anyone watching that there was SO much time put into this. I know I’m not the only one out there that is very appreciative of all the work you put into every video! You rock!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@annavanderwal990]

I hate tutorials but I watched this with joy even tho I know I’m never going to make this and I absolutely loved it

[@idontjudge222]

just finished knitting this! I had so much fun learning cables and now I have a cute chunky sweater for the cold :) The amount of work you had to put into making this tutorial is not lost! Thanks again :)

[@knotsofcrochet]

Can you crochet this sweater? ITS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL thing EVERR and i only come across the knitting tutorials for this. Is it beacause its not possible to crochet or COULD YOU PLEASE try crocheting it looks SO MAGICAL

[@ruby8698]

i’ve seen some tutorials for crochet cables, they just don’t look the same at knit cables! but i’m sure it could be done :)

[@knotsofcrochet]

@@ruby8698 omg really? I have to check it out

[@apandagamer530]

Okay so this is gonna be a little confusing, but I’m sure if you look up the Taylor swift cardigan crochet tutorial you can diy this into crochet for the most part, you might need to look a few more stitches up but it’s pretty much the basics

[@knotsofcrochet]

@@apandagamer530 Omg THANK YOU SO MUCH i have actually seen those but never thought about making it into a sweater!!!! It SEEMS pretty doable will def try it

[@lilly2123]

@@knotsofcrochetomg same!! i saw that tut and was wondering if i could make it a sweater since i don’t wear cardigans. i hope urs turns out good!!

[@АнастасияМакарович]

girl you're an angel i was going to knit this sweater when you made the first version (even though I've never even seen Gilmore girls) but now I'm very happe to find the new and improved version! totally gonna make if after finishing my first knit sweater that I'm working on right now (your video was a perfect background for me to knit to)

[@stef1478]

Same!

[@Wormzzzzz]

My husband has been begging for a cable knit sweater but I didn't see any patterns I liked. Also, I saw you modeling this in the video you did that was everything you need to know as a beginner knitter. (I think it was the seed stitch part) and ever since I saw it I was DESPERATE to find your tutorial for this. Soooo cool and cute and cozy and CHONKY ❤❤❤

[@Hollysattic]

I am making this sweater and I am in row 4. I can already see you put a lot of effort in your videos. They are so detailed and so aesthetic and warm. So talented you❤🎉. Best tutorial!

[@nathalielvr]

i just bought a lotttt of yarn and some proper knitting needles. i AM rory gilmore this month !! love this tutorial

[@StaticSunflower]

Okay so I think I’ve figured out the issue mentioned at 44:00 what I’ve done is started my seed stitching on the wrong side beginning on row 6. Then on every wrong side row after I make my seed stitch section one stitch wider on both sides each time. This fills up the entire diamond with the seed stitch pattern instead of getting a cluster of knit stitches! I hope I explained that well I’m a pretty new knitter but I’ve had so much fun figuring this pattern out. 😊

[@ataraxiastemple]

i am a BIG seamstress and crochet worker- but I have never learned how to knit and I am genuinely weary about starting. but then again- i’ve ALWAYS wanted a cable knit sweater and don’t wanna spend 60$ on a princess polly one🙂‍↔️. time to buy some needles and crack down.

[@junoismad]

oh lets go!!! ive been waiting for this since the recreation video, thank you so much! i think i could finish it before christmas and gift it! also, i think the fact that youve made a begginer friendly video and pattern for a relatively complex sweater is incredibly cool. if someone were to knit this as a first project, they would learn so much just from this tutorial and its just so neat

[@rebeccabercowitz8592]

i am new to knitting and wanted to do my first sweater, but tutorials for all the “beginner” ones look very complicated to make. you managed to make cables look easier than a raglan! i will be attempting this, thank you very much!

[@scaramouche_lov3r]

You inspired me to crochet my first ever cardigan, and then you inspired me to learn to knit by watching your own tutorials, I love watching your videos while crocheting/knitting myself, you've really helped me a lot in my journey of these crafts, thank you ❤

[@tesscochran668]

i’m in the middle of making this sweater rn for a holiday trip and i am in love! it’s my third knit project and first time with cables and i’m having a blast. thank you for such a great tutorial!

[@MichalBurg-rb8fd]

How did it turn out?

[@akneesoo]

THANK YOU for this tutorial !! knitting tutorials are much harder to come by for free compared to crochet :) this is also such a good demonstration of different stitches

[@moonwasabi]

i love this video. so detailed. i have never knitted before, i’ll try as soon as i can get my hands on the correct equipment

[@emmaivy-movement]

This tutorial is excellent, however there is one major error- the diamond section cables should be traveling/open cables (T3B/T3F) rather than normal ones. That will give them a clean flat look and prevent the pulling of stitches above, and it will also solve the seed stitch issue in the middle of the diamond (because in a traveling cable the inner stitches are purled). I also used a C5B for the center cable in between diamonds to flatten the shape out, and make the numbers work. (To do this method you need to increase the middle section by 1 stitch so there’s an odd number with a center stitch that’s the middle in the C5B and then becomes a single knit stitch between the traveling cables when they split). That being said, this video was super helpful for explaining all the other techniques and I’m almost done with my sweater!!

[@BabieBunnie2015]

Saw the last video where you had the Sweater, couldn't get it out of my mind and was thinking of looking. up all the techniques. Love it soooo much, that you uploaded this and at this time!

[@Terrestriellie]

Oh this is such a treat ! Your tutorials are always fantastic, the amount of effort you put into these vids is always spectacular

[@xethecat]

Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial!! You put so much effort into these and it’s so impressive how something decently complex can be made so beginner friendly! I learned to crochet 2 years ago, but then just a month ago I decided to learn to knit, and the very next day you posted this! This is my first real project and you’ve made it so simple and im learning so much so THANK YOU!!!!

[@dingallagher5901]

the best crocheter and knitter on KZbin hands down! I've been wanting you to make a tutorial on this sweater from the very beginning and here it is! thank you for your hard work and all the thorough explanations so it's really easy to follow even though the pattern is complex ❤

[@StaticSunflower]

My yarn for this sweater finally arrived today, I can't wait to tackle this new project! 🤗 thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial!🍁

[@cameronk1632]

I don't even knit and won't be making this sweater but I'm watching anyway because i love your vibe 💕

[@marthaco603]

AHHH YAYYY!!! thank you so much ikoxun, been searching and waiting for this tutorial so much and your videos are just the easiest to follow 🥹💞

[@EmL-kg5gn]

The work you put into all of your projects is amazing!! I don’t knit but I still love watching these videos 💕 I’ve honestly tried, my Grandma was an incredible knitter and tried to teach me but I didn’t inherit her abilities at all. Even with her there to help me at every step I still couldn’t do it! Stockinette and rib stitch end up looking the same in my hands 😭 But knitting reminds me of her so I love learning about it 🥰 For fun I even tried knitting a little square while I was watching but I pulled it apart. I want to use the wool for crochet!

[@charmipatel9178]

I mainly crochet , but these days I'm practising my knitting , i've been following your videos and this one has made my life easier , thankyou girl

[@melissagreen714]

Now I'm not ready for a project like this but thank you so much explaining the knitting part. I watched so many beginner "not beginner" friendly videos and was so lost on what a purl and knit and even adding chains on was. You did an amazing job ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Now i actually know some terminology ☺️🥹.

[@MrsBrent]

So informative, thank you for this! I won't knit this sweater but as a beginner knitter I've learned so much from all of your tutorials at the beginning of the video!

[@Terrestriellie]

finally bought the yarn to attempt to follow along this pattern - im going to make it slightly smaller and less oversized for a more masculine fit, but i'm so so excited. I got 100% wool and an alpaca blend that I'm gonna use together so this is gonna be my most luxurious project for sure! Thank you for this video ❤️❤️ if all goes well I want to try and make it again for my friend as well

[@miumuffiin]

Just started watching gilmore girls for the first time!! What a timing ;u; can't wait to try this out

[@Amelieladybug]

Ever since I saw you make the Rory sweater in the other video, I was dying to find a tutorial, thanks so much!

How have I only just seen this video 😱 I need to make this asap 🤍

4 cable twist rows: 1, 5, 9, ... (every fourth row) 8 cable twist rows: 1, 7, 13, 19, ... (every sixth row) on the rows that aren't twisted, just knit them as regular stockinette twisters: 1 (c4b, c8b) 5 (c4b) 7 (c8b) 9 (c4b) 13 (c4b, c8b) 17 (c4b) 19 (c8b) 21 (c4b) 25 (c4b, c8b) 29 (c4b) 31 (c8b) 33 (c4b)

[@phoebebatz]

Thats so funny i was about to go to the video that you crochet this sweater and now i get a hole tutorial thank you so much.

[@cosmicnik]

been wanting to make this sweater for awhile and saw on your insta you were making another so i waited to follow this tutorial!! v excited :)))

[@claryyy]

just wanted to say that there's a mistake in the diagram at 20:17! the seed stitches in the middle should be written as columns of dots and columns of blank spaces because they are reversed on the wrong side - that is, a blank space on the right side is a knit and a dot on the wrong side is still a knit. the pattern currently makes 1x1 rib instead of a seed stitch because of this, for seed stitch it should be purl on one side and knit on the other

[@sophiakoremblit]

THANK YOU SO MUCH IM ACTUALLY GONNA CRY

[@adeleisnamedafterme]

I’m going to make this now so it will be ready in time for fall!

[@ikoxun]

good luck!

This is so cute, I love this sweater! Could you possibly look into making a Knives Out Chris Evans sweater? I really appreciate your detail to explaining everything with knitting, it's a complicated and confusing craft but you explain it thoroughly and it looks amazing! Thank you!

THANK YOU THANK YOU IWAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE SINCE YOU UPLODED THE CROCHET & KNIT SERIES

[@elliotgrant]

I TRIED RECREATING THIS AFTER SEEING THE ORIGINAL VID where was this when I needed it aaahhh no but seriously im about to do this again

[@sherleyr8315]

omg tysm for the lovely pattern, I was wondering if you hada written pattern or chart to follow for the cables (aka how many rows in between the cable turns, etc), I was also wondering if this could be knitted in the round (it avoids having to knit in the wrong side) and how I could alter the measurements for that.

[@miriamvlachoulis6875]

Hello Ikoxun!!! I recently rewatched the Howl's Moving Castle overcoat you made and have decided to make my own. I'm knitting it instead of crochet. I'm using your video and sketches for a base but am gonna have to wing the rest of it. Wish me luck 😂

[@ikoxun]

good luck!

[@sinemis1989]

You're amazing! Thank you so much for this. ❤

[@ddpsss]

hi!! i wanna do this sweater but i have a couple of doubts; is it a must to get the 20 inch cable needles AND the 9 inch? and, can i use needles with a longer cable? will it affect the final result? i hate to ask but im kinda struggling to find needles with those measurements.

[@coni3003]

Hey, so having different lengths of cable won't affect the work (just dont get the short ones like 40cm), and also, it's not compulsory to get them you can try the normal two needles which will give the same result

[@mzllekassou2638]

Very great video as usual !!! I'm a newbie in knitting (started less than a month) and your tutorial was so clear, even for me :) I will definitely make that sweater !! Do you think it will suits a man ? I'd love to make it for my boyfriend ^^

[@ikoxun]

yes!! my boyfriend wears the chunky one and it looks perfect :)

BLESS YOU FOR MAKING THIS

[@stef1478]

Thank you so much for this!❤

[@Hi-dm2nu]

Awesome tutorial and sweater, but do you have the amount of grams/yarns of yarn you used for the sweater. I want to know how much yarn I will need to buy to make this beauty.

[@janesmart1958]

Can you please do a crochet version? I can't knit but, I can crochet this

[@teeganearl4425]

I love your intros ❤,I LOVE that sweater but I don’t knit sadly ,can u make more crocheting things from films ?

[@fionaschicken]

thankyou so much for this tutorial!! for the swatch you mentioned doing the first 30 stitches, but how do you know how many seed stitches to do?

[@ikoxun]

omg i didn’t even catch that 😳 you can just make a swatch with any amount for the swatch since they’ll measure the same as stockinette stitch. The main thing in the swatch is to include the 8 and 4 cable twists . so if you want, you can start with 10 like i did

[@fionaschicken]

@@ikoxun okay thanks 🙏🙏

[@lisaswenson1999]

[@icykirby6289]

I never knitted in my whole life and I'd live to make this but off shoulder. Do you have any tips on how to do so?

[@ElifDenizYlmaz]

Hello, I am writing from the translation, sorry if it is not understandable. I want to knit this sweater with mohair yarn and number 3 needles. How many inches wide is your sweater? Also, what should I do to make this diamond model and the folds look as big as on your sweater? I would be very happy if you answer. Your sweater is very nice. Use it on good days❤

[@S.E_356]

Finally🤩🙏

[@Sailorlluna]

Did you have an actual pattern for this? The instructions are a bit difficult to understand but I think it would be easier if I could refer to the pattern.

[@tarni1993]

No she does have a written pattern for this sadly

[@Shettikkawoodscrocheting-dk4qz]

Beautiful ❤️ pattern thank you 🧶 intricate.

[@ren-co4hz]

I'm confused on how to do the swatch for 15:00, would you copy the first 30 stitches from your pattern at 20:24? Can someone please help I love this sweater and would love to make it :(

[@christalb7164]

Yep! That’s what I’m doing

[@christalb7164]

Cast on 30 and knit 14 rows

[@SquishyTheVampire]

I literally knit backwards. Since stockinette is difficult for me (due to purling) I do the mirror technique (knitting right to left). Im gonna have to find another technique for this project.

[@tinalin7180]

Love the video!! ❤❤❤

[@pineapplecuberisgonnacube9437]

Can someone help plz 15:56 how is 30 x 17 =170 It equals 510 Just confused because I got the same shoulder width and I’m wondering if I should use 170 or 510

[@zulal8296]

she made a mistake there ig. it doesnt matter when you notice the following part its 170/10=51 so probably she just meant 510 at the first place

[@tamaravalentini1481]

Che bello,grazie per il tutorial ciao ❤❤

[@hithere3121]

Question: if i want to make the sweater longer is there a way to make it still have three diamonds in the center?

[@ikoxun]

you would probably have to end up making another diamond, unless you use a larger yarn that can make the sweater longer without you having to change up the pattern

[@ΓεωργιαΤσαπαλου]

Can I make this without circular needles but with normal ones instead?

[@Fla_Frog]

Can I still make it nice and oversized with a thinner yarn? Its not that thin but still thinner than the one you used and I felt like it was going to be way too small

[@crochetwithgeo]

Wait so can I use acrylic yarn? Like any red heart yarn, I’m trying to make this for my sister but I want it to look like Rory’s so would acrylic yarn look and/or give the same look

[@ikoxun]

yes you can :) both sweaters i made are made with acrylic. I would say use a bulky acrylic so you can get that oversized look to it

[@xgls7637]

i am so happyyyyyy i always wanted to make this one

[@RosaBotelho-n6w]

I have always crocheted and i am STRUGGLING to learn kinitting. Does anyone have some tips?? I would love to knit this sweater😭😭
