SIMPLE Crochet Cardigan (Tutorial) | DIY | Cropped Crochet Cardigan | Crochet Sweater Tutorial

[@madamc3458]

This is a great pattern and great tutorial. I am size L and have managed to adapt with same stitch count. I had a load of Fluffy Day yarn (it is like mohair. meant to be DK but hard to handle). So..... I did rib band on 6mm (same number of stitches) but with single back stich, not slip stitch. Then changed to 8mm (I would not do this on regular Aran yarn as it may look odd... but with mohair type yarn, it works). I have then followed pattern. I am up to armhole bit, but just eyeballing! I will let you know my progress. Only put this on here because I can see there is interest in larger sizes and certainly not a complaint for a very informative video x

[@madamc3458]

Fluffy Day yarn is from Hobbii

[@rosaferns]

Yes, I would love to hear how its going. I'm a self taught crocheter and made this pattern based on my own body so I'm not really sure the best way to size up the pattern. Your experience with making it would be super helpful to other people!

[@madamc3458]

@@rosaferns - I think the proper way to make larger is by the way you said to someone else. Just increase the stitches for front panels... and back panel in proportion. I was just very lucky that my yarn looks good on a way too large hook. I will certainly keep you updated. Finished all 3 panels today and on my large hook with back loop hdc, it is working well. Sleeves in correct position, etc. Thank you again, Rosa. I am also self taught and love that you use American terminology because that is also how I learnt - on KZbin about 15 years ago! (even though I am English). Your tutorials are amazing and very clear to a beginner. Well done you xxx

[@CatEyes5240]

That's awesome and beautiful cardigan

[@claireaustin8530]

Questions: 1. How long is the yarn per 100g? 2. Are you using a UK Size 5 hook or a 5mm hook? (not the same) I started this Cardigan, because I wanted to use up leftover Aran weight yarn. Or I at least I thought it was. I wear XS-S normally, but using a 5mm hook like you said, I had to tripple the stitch count... so either the yarn is too thick, the hook size too small, or you are very tiny and thin. I am German, so I looked up what Aran weight meant exactly: 60-120m/100g... that is a huge difference. I ended up using a 7mm hook.

[@dandara8074]

2:21 You can literally see it's a 5mm hook

Yessss! You go girlllll. I like how slowly you work. I learn by repeatedly watching the action over and over again. So this really works for me. Very good close ups so one can see exactly where to put the hook. Love the fact that there are no speeded up camera shots I'm better at knitting. My crochet tends to go wierd and lop sided as I don't always place the hook in the right place. I get so stressed when I crochet so I don't tend to do it very often.😥 Its really good to hear a tuturial made by a British person so I am not going to get confused like I do when following an American crafter. I am going to try and make this. I have not made a crochet garment for years. Thank you for sharing. How many balls of the Women's Institute Aran yarn did you buy for the project?Bravo teacher👍🏿🙏🏿👏🏿

Hi! Love your tutorial and I’m trying to reproduce it, I’m at minute 8:00 and I’m shaping the neckline of the front panels. I started the front panel with 29 stitches instead of 24 because i made a bigger size and i was asking myself if i should do more sets of rows with the decrease so that i end up with a narrower row when i start the 5 rows of simple HDC. If i only do 6 sets i end up with 23 stitches. Thank you very much! 🥰I hope i explained myself, English is not my first language 😁😁

[@rosaferns]

It really depends on how wide you want the v-neck to be. You can hold it up to your body and decide based on how it looks. If you like it narrow then don't decrease any more but if you like it a bit more open you can decrease a few more rows. e.g. \ / or \ / \/ \ / I hope that makes sense, let me know if you need any more help :)

To make a larger size just add a few more rows to the body ribbing (it should be big enough to fit comfortably around your waist). Then when dividing it into the front and back panels, use this: a = total stitches (a +5)/2 = back panel stitches b = back panel stitches (b-5)/2 = front panel stitches Everything else should more or less be the same.

A gauge for the ribbing and for the body would be most helpful. Someone earlier commented about getting rippling when moving onto the body. I'm getting the same thing, I think because my ribbing is tighter than yours and so when I move onto the body the 6 mm hook is too big. I went down a size and it's still giving me ripples, but when I stretch out the ribbing, it is fine. I added more rows to the ribbing than you, just assuming I'm a larger size, but now I think it was just that I was crocheting too tight. So a gauge would be helpful. You can measure it now and let us know what it is, so that those in the future won't have the same problems.

Question does this only fit people who fit into a small could someone who wears an XL make this or would it not work

You could make a larger size by increasing the ribbing band to fit your waist. The pattern will need some adjustments tho. I'm still only a amateur crocheter so I haven't tested any other sizes

[@yunolyra7297]

Great video, I'm making the cardigan, at the part of the front panel neckline rn and I'm very surprised by how wavy and big the upper part from the ribbing is getting, I have seen from your previous answers to some comments that some wavyness is to be expected but when I put it on my body to see how the project is going the neckline can't even be perceived by how big and wavy the cardigan is getting. The ribbing looks fine , and I did the same amount of rows in the first HDC than in the ribbing, so one indented, one not, but it's so big, is this normal? Will the cardigan magically make sense once i finish crocheting all or should I stop and revaluate?

[@rosaferns]

Hi Yuno, I'm not sure I completely understand which stage you're at but I'll try my best to help: - So if you at around 4:28, it is normal for your work to be wavy. It's just because the ribbing is smaller than the body. But this should not be insane, it should just be a bit waviness and will flatten out as you continue adding rows. - If you're at around 24:00 and are working on the neckline, there should be no waviness at all. If you do have waviness, reduce the number of stitches you are doing and make sure they're evenly spaced around the neckline I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any clarification :)

[@yunolyra7297]

@@rosaferns thank you so much for your answer, I am at 4:28 but the wave is insane and I think I know why. When you're explaining the ribbing you state yours is 105 rows, or in other words, 50 cm while not stretched. That's a very small measurement for a waist to be and I mistook what a "row" was for it to make sense. I think I misunderstood what you said in the video when you say it in cm because I saw a size converting chart and an XS in the UK is like 62 cm waist, and this cardigan is supposed to accommodate a UK S. I hope I'm making sense haha. Was your ribbing actually 50 cm unstretched? Or, if it isn't too much to ask, how much is your waist in cm? Thank you again for your time

i’m having the same problem, is it maybe because i’m using a different kind of yarn? how did you fix it?

[@akankshanewar2152]

Hey i have difficulty in sleeves part….. how many rows of hdc exactly do I have to do?

[@ceciliab8072]

Super helpful!

[@rosaferns]

Thank you so much!!

[@xxsapphicslayerxx]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's lovely!! I started hdc onto the ribbing part and I'm three rows in and it's super wavy. Is this normal or is my tension way off??

[@rosaferns]

Don't worry, that is normal. It because the waist band is tight and the cardi is bigger and flares out. After a few more rows it should flatten out a bit. Without seeing a pic I can't be 100% sure, but it sounds right :)

@@rosaferns Thank you so much for your help!!

[@АнастасияИванова-е8ф2т]

It’s perfect! But when I’m on the 2nd step (body, 8 rows, 105 HDC) it’s much wider than on the video :( so I have lots of folds. No idea what’s wrong.

[@rosaferns]

Hey, I'm not too sure why that is but it could be the size of the wool you're using (also sometimes is can depend on how tightly you crochet, it varies person to person). So to fix it, you can use the smaller 5mm hook instead of switching to 6mm. Or you can reduce the number of HDC from 105 to something that fits better, just make sure to evenly space the stiches across the top of the ribbing. Hopefully that helps. If you need me to explain anything, just ask :)

[@АнастасияИванова-е8ф2т]

@@rosaferns thank you so much for your answer! I tried 4mm and now it’s fine!

[@rosaferns]

@@АнастасияИванова-е8ф2т That's great! Let me know how the cardigan goes and if you have any more questions just drop a comment :)

[@kisha4256]

heyy. The second step with the 8 rows of hdc is really wavy. Im guessing it is because i dont understand the indented row and raised row that much.Or is it another issue?

[@rosaferns]

Hi Kisha, Since the waistband is smaller than the body, it will be wavy at first. This is normal, as you continue the waviness should go away (just make sure you have the correct number of stitches) :)

@@rosaferns ok thank you

[@gersheyevangelista1446]

Hi, Love the cardigan, thought I would crochet one for my daughter. However, my daughter is a size 12-14 women's size. I know how to increase the waist and front panel under the arm but, when I come to decrease for the v shape do I need to increase my rows or, do I increase at the top when I've finished increasing as she's a d cup bra size and not sure about fit. I've also figured your formula for front panel stitches and back panel stitches which was very helpful as size and stitches can be worked out when I'm at that point. Thanks Jo.

[@rosaferns]

I haven't actually made a large size, i based this pattern of my own measurements. But I think the v-shape decreases will remain the same. You might need to add a few more rows of decreases, depending on how wide you want the neck area. Hope that made sense haha
