Finally a cardigan pattern that isn't made from double crochets! It looks so good with the lemon peel stitch!

[@kodalachswanderung5433]

hi, just curious and new to crocheting 😊 Is there a negative side to double crochets? or did you just say that because thats whats most commonly used 🤔

[@minhyukisadolphin4849]

@@kodalachswanderung5433 It’s just pretty common since it’s the stitch to used to make things quicker and uses less yarn!

Did your sleeve keep increasing? Mine does but idk why

[@destana1xx]

I am a serious beginner, like I’ve never crocheted before but this is really making me want to learn. My brain already hurts from trying to take everything in but this cardigan is so cute, I will definitely be mastering the stitches and coming back to try and make this. Edit to the replies under this comment: I’ve been crocheting for a year now and I’ve improved so much. Thank you for all the encouragement. I have yet to make this pattern, as I’ve been busy and getting constantly distracted by other patterns but I am determined to make it one day! I hope you all do well in crocheting too!

[@alannathompson2587]

Yes yes!! I love the fact that you had an illustration to explain the different pieces and their placements! I find it a bit hard to follow other tutorials on cardigans cause I need to visualize my steps before I start…Thank you!!❤️❤️

[@VivCrochets]

So glad it helped! Thank you for the feedback, I’ll keep this in mind for future tutorials!!

[@skywalker21ls]

I used to crochet a lot as a kid and just a few days ago I saw one of your videos on my recommended and remembered how much fun I actually had doing it. I'm definitely going to try and make this, your tutorials are so well-explained and easy to follow! thank you so much for indirectly reminding me of one of my childhood passions

[@VivCrochets]

Thank you, I love to hear things like this! I'm so happy for you!!

[@a__zz__34]

Fun fact: The lemon peel stitch is also known as a houndstooth stitch if you switch colours between rows! You can type it up and you can make a really nice sweater vest!

[@shinychanl5592]

Hi! I usually don't leave any comments, but i just finished this cardigan after a few weeks of work, working on and off on the project, and i can say that it turned out so nice ! thanks a lot for the tutorial! I used a 4mm hook, which is a bit smaller than the one used for the tutorial. So, for those wondering, i think that you can just measure the piece that u're working on as u go with cm or inches, and it will turn out just as fine. I have larger shoulders, so I adapted my pattern, and the back panel is 56cm wide = 21 and 1/2 inch. Turned out perfect! Have fun crocheting everyone!

[@babushka767]

I love this cardigan so much, I've made it twice now and it's just such a fantastic piece to add to the wardrobe. The instructions are super clear, it works up beautifully, and it looks so professional when it's finished. I made my first one in a berry piece over the summer and I've just finished a second one in more of a rusty orange. You always put out such articulate and easy to follow tutorials, Viv! I learned to crochet using your ribbed beanie video and have made a little over a half a dozen of those. I've since branched out into learning to knit, but I like to keep coming back to your channel to see the new projects you've been putting out. I'm so parasocially proud of you!! lol

[@VivCrochets]

This is so sweet! Thank you so much ☺️

[@BananaJonesMom]

This took me a little over a week to complete but I love it sooooo much! I figured out how to make it two colors split down the middle and it looks soooo awesome!

[@briannaescobedo5077]

how did you keep the sleeve from continuously increasing?

[@katzwhite5962]

I like how you do everything slowly so we can see exactly what you are doing. I am going to try making this garment. Thank you for sharing. Bravo teacher.👍🏿👏🏿

[@shakthianand6863]

To stop the weird increase after a bit, try skipping the last one or two stiches instead of fully completing the round. It gives a more uniform shape. I started doing that after like the 5th or 6th round.

[@mariahhenderson1470]

Did you do 5 rows of increases?

[@leann7859]

Can you further expand on this please? :) I want to start the sweater, but I want to use your advice!

[@carendestiny]

Okay so I’m 9 months pregnant and I haven’t been crocheting for a while since I’ve been mid semester as well as moving and being pregnant. Anyways, I miss crocheting but I’m not able to do it now as everything is still in boxes 🥲🤣 So lately I’ve been watching your videos before bed and on top of genuinely learning a lot, you also have such a soothing voice that it helps me get better sleep! I usually can only sleep an hour or two at a time but after one of your videos I can sleep the whole night. I hope that doesn’t seem offensive because I promise your videos aren’t like boring me to sleep or anything, they are so educational and helpful to me. Also I’ve never made clothes so it’s so interesting how they come together

[@VivCrochets]

That’s amazing! No offense taken at all. I’m glad my videos are helpful and that you’re getting more sleep! I hope you get to crochet soon!

[@monasixtyfive4962]

What a great teacher. You explain things so well in your calm voice. Will definitely try to crochet this

[@smileyfrownsalot1029]

I really liked this sweater. It's my first big crochet project but I have questions. So I noticed the same question pop at least twice already regarding the lemon peel stitch and that you already answered. So sorry if I'm asking for the 3rd time but I'm a bit confuzzled. So you say the lemon peel stitch 1sc and dc goes in it's individual stitch. However, I noticed from 8:56-10:00 that you put both sc & dc in the same stitch with the exception of the 4 st where you put 2 sts instead. Then after you start row 2 @10:50 you put the 1sc/dc on individual stitches. Is this sc/dc on a single stitch ONLY for the very first row? I'm visual learner and get confused so easily 😞 Again, sorry for asking the same question again.

[@VivCrochets]

Yes! Just for the very first row since that’s where we are adding in all the stitches we need

[@celestealonso6957]

[@VivCrochets]

[@PetDKK]

For the second row of the lemon peel, is it single and double crochet in one stitch or are they seperate like how you did the gauge( they were done each one in a different stitch)

[@zuzannawojcik9601]

It's beautiful 🥰 have to try it. I wonder if it would look the same made as one and then just sew on the sleeves, not in 5 sections. I'm afraid my kardigan would be not so straight and smooth when sewing all the parts😁

[@VivCrochets]

Thank you! I think that would work well!

Thank you! I made mine a size small, but you can add more chains to the foundation chain and more rows to the front and back panels to make a medium!

Never heard of Lemon Peel stitch before , plan on trying it though I'm not a cardigan person more of a longer sweater type but have never made one. The patterns have always stopped me especially when it came to shaping the sleeves. I don't sew my pieces together, I use my crochet hook and weave them together, don't think it's a single crochet stitch, but you could use it if one wish. Anyway that's how I put my pieces together.

You might be adding in extra stitches every round, which is making it get wider! Maybe you're not skipping the slip stitch? Make sure that your number of stitches in every round is the exact same.
