Taking Measurements

[@housewifehomestead]

Your videos are simpl and clear. I wish you could make more videos.

Thank you so much for these easy to follow instructions. Taking measurements is not easy. This is going to be very helpful.

Could you please link us to the standalone measurement paper as you suggested on your video? Your Video gives very good understanding to the measurements.

hi Paula Thanks for these videos, but if you want to knit a top down garment, how to do i calculate and proceed to knit one

[@paulajward]

Sketch out the sweater with number of stitches, rows and shaping, and turn it upside down--where you would have decreased, you increase. Where you would bind off, you cast on. I cast on shoulder stitches for one back shoulder, work short rows and neck shaping. Then cast on the other shoulder and work it and the neck shaping, then cast on a bunch of stitches for the center back neck and join the two pieces. Work to the armhole shaping. For the front, pick up sts in back shoulder edge and work the front shoulders and neck shaping, joining at the neck. Work to the armhole shaping. Cast on underarm stitches and then join the front and back. You're now knitting in the round.

On the ebook, I found the measurement form in reference to this on page 87 along with the other helpers.... Thank you for making such a great video. Feel like i have a workbook reference guide with video. :)
