the process of crocheting my first sweater!

[@donkeyching8339]

omg finally someone else who watches stuff instead of listening to music! i swear listening to music makes me want to throw away all of my crochet stuff lol. and we love the neutral colors, sooo cute!

[@MochiBMakes]

Yes fr! 🩷

[@xvgarnet]

Making garments takes a lot of time, especially if it's your first time. I've never crocheted a garment but I have knitted sweaters and cardigans and it definitely takes me 3 weeks or more. Don't be discouraged, practice makes perfect! I love the colors you chose and the end result is very cute!

[@MochiBMakes]

Thank you so much for the awesome advice! I definitely felt the length of this project get to me but I definitely will keep it up!

[@carolynponder4953]

It turned out great! Working on my very first tank top right now.

[@angelinabvby]

very cute! love the colors! 🤎🤍🖤

[@arthurzackaryabrin]

Omg I love Crochemily's tutorial!!! I've started a similar sweater with 6 colours and I did 2 rows of double crochet per colour stripe. It's looking so good!!! It's so fun to work on and it works up really nicely!! I'm currently working on the second torso panel, I'm over 50% down with it so far!!

[@MochiBMakes]

That’s awesome! I totally agree the tutorial is a good one! I’m probably gonna make a better version of the sweater in the future!

[@HaTghizad-il6fw]

It looks great 🌹😍

[@evmazz67]

You did a great job. Doesn't look like your first sweater!

[@MochiBMakes]

Thank you ☺️

[@chrissym8]

Good job! It looks warm and nice. And the colors make me think of a chocolate cake 😋

[@MochiBMakes]

yess!

[@lamawaleed4323]

Omg you are sooooo real for the u are not a machine cuz like I always see vids of them having like a billion different things in like one month while for me I take a lot of time to finish one project like I have crochet as a hobby not a life style so I crochet when I have nth to do but not sit all month long just to make stuff and plushys ❤

[@MochiBMakes]

Perfectly said! I think it should be normalized to not finish a lot of projects they take a lot of time! 🩷

[@lindasakseide282]

Great job 🙂 I am so happy for you, for you finishing it, even though it took longer than you first wanted. It is a beautiful sweater, - I love the colors, and the ribbings are great 🙂

[@MochiBMakes]

Thank you so much!

[@debbiebridges8807]

Good job because I’m looking to make my first sweater also.

[@yssa.bondoy]

sosososo cuteeee!!! love that it’s slightly off the shoulder, those are my fav kind of sweaters 🩷🩷🩷

[@MochiBMakes]

Yess! Love the off the shoulder ❤❤❤❤

[@BrettParsons66]

Amazing work! I love the colors.

[@DaniellesCrochetBarn]

I just finished Anne with an E as well! Now I am going to read the books :) Loved the video!

[@MochiBMakes]

Yes! I should be reading the books tbh 🩷

[@charz4194]

Wow you did really well for a first sweater. It looks so good and the amount of technique you put into it is impressive. I don’t think I had this amount of patience when I started making sweaters lol ❤

[@MochiBMakes]

Thank you sm!

[@cosykates]

love the colours you chose!! 💗 so cute

[@MochiBMakes]

Thank you! 🩷

[@alexbugarin1089]

I'm just finishing up a sweater that I started in October or November. Granted it wasn't my sole focus that entire time, I made a ton of other things in that time.

[@MochiBMakes]

Exactly! Garments take a long time for sure

[@gordonbrowne8068]

Message from Shari B Well done you did a great job! Ive made a few knitted and crochet tops. Theyre not all perfect, but we learn from those mistakes and improve. ❤❤❤😊❤❤

[@MochiBMakes]

Indeed! I’m planning to make a lot more garments this year, can’t wait to keep improving and making videos on them! 🩷

[@Dhanyashree-hy6lv]

Love it

[@Ko_lara_baerchen29]

This sweater looks amazing!! ❤ What stitch did you use to make the ribbing? 😊

[@MochiBMakes]

Thank you sm! I did a single crochet in the back loops! The stitches on the end of each row though I just did regular single crochets to keep it from looking messy 🥰🩷

[@praktisktro]

Very beautiful sweater 🙂 It takes me from a month til 2 years to knit a sweater, so dont fill like you are not fast enough. I did ones knit a sweater in 8 days - but it gave me a lot of pains, and I could not knit for a long time - so dont do like me and stress about how long it takes, just have fun 🙂

[@MochiBMakes]

Thank you so much for the advice, it’s great to know we all go through similar things while making these bigger projects! 🩷🩷🩷

[@bobbyjenkins6806]

Wow great job! I’m crocheting my first sweater right now and it looks horrible but yours looks professional

[@MochiBMakes]

I'm sure yours will look amazing, keep it up! ♥

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

Awesome Job 👍🏾👏🏾

[@nailsintheattic4205]

Can you use the strings at the end of each row to sew the seems ( wouldn’t that help with matching each row with the right color yarn) instead of having to use just one color to sew the seems and taking a chance of the color showing thru? Hope that makes sense

[@MochiBMakes]

I never thought of that! 🩷

[@lifebythecafterstrokeCHRISTINE]

What is blocking? I love the sweater!

[@MochiBMakes]

Blocking is wetting the project and pinning it down to dry to relax the fibers! Fiber artist do this to hold their project in a nice shape

[@meh.n]

really great job. mine took 28 days to finish. but how do you know the yarn is machine washable? is it written in the label or do you know from those symbols that I can not understand?😆

[@MochiBMakes]

It is written on the label! Mine is from red heart so I’m not sure it’s the same on all yarns but it should specify! 🩷

[@meh.n]

thank you so much

[@raynazulaikha8516]

I made a hexagon sweater for my friend and it took me 1 week and i relate i need to watch videos instead of listening to music and if i do listen to music i will literally rip my crochet apart

[@MochiBMakes]

Literally same 😂

[@InesTurk]

What size hook did you use ?🤔 Also i love your sweater 🥰

[@MochiBMakes]

Thank you sm! I used a 5.5mm hook 🧶🩷

[@InesTurk]

@@MochiBMakes great im going to knit a sweater too , probablly in the same color theme🐌

[@tianachidester1566]

Ive crocheted 3 sweaters still have no idea what im doing

[@אורליברוך-ז2ב]

BEAUTIFUL/ 🌺🌺🌺

[@ambercruz3423]

Resewing the side seams together isn't a lot of work or that hard it's literally the easiest fix you could have done.

[@MochiBMakes]

My hands were falling off at that point 🙈

[@jaciw]

That fear and restlessness is so real. Spending days or weeks on a project just for you to end up hating it 🫠
