V Neck Cardigan crochet tutorial part 2 of 2

[@remedy9648]

I could kick myself for not using your tutorial sooner. Not only are these cardi’s pretty, but they are simple,work up so quickly, have the perfect shape and no sewing! Amazing! Thank you so, so much! I’m about to go on a month long summer crochet binge so you’ll get sick of my comments soon enough!💕🙏💕

[@CrochetwithClare]

i am so glad you enjoy my design and video. i bet your projects will look great. happy crochet!

[@fawziaraza264]

HI, You are a great teacher. I really loved the way you teach, and you look so cute when showing your lovely cardigans, Thank you so much for showing different kinds of crochet ideas,

[@litarqueen]

My goodness, the burgundy cardigan is absolutely beautiful!! So inspired to crochet the burgundy cardigan before Fall, thank you and such a beautiful work!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback

[@nancydennison1073]

Thanks so much, Claire for making this video. This is my first adult sweater. You give great instructions...I am making the v neck and really enjoying your video. Thanks for all you do! 😀

[@LeoSunScorpioMoon]

I will be making this next! Been crocheting shrugs. And Clare, thank you for your tip on working the stitch in between the legs of a stitch. I much prefer that too.

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are very welcome, thank you for choosing my pattern and so glad you love the little tip :)

[@ChristineTHuynh]

thank you for this and all other tutorials. i finally finished my cardigan in three days. super simple to follow. you are an amazing teacher! you rock, bobwilson123!!! xoxxo

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much Christine ! So glad that they tutorial was easy and wow you must of crochet like a speedy little thing to finish it in 3 days, well done !

[@sigridkutz5170]

I like this video a lot, you explain everything so clearly, thank you. While watching a lot of other Ideas came to my mind.( THAT happens often ) if I would add a hood i would do so before working the front and neck border. Then work the border, it would go along the front and hood edges. That would look really nice too.

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes that is where you would add a hood

[@mammaanka4081]

This is a version I like, V-neck. I must give it a try, with arms... Thank you!

[@sonjabirch8583]

Thank you so much Claire for this fantastic tutorial, I have 3 daughters, 3 granddaughters an I great gran, so because of your kindness in sharing these tips, I will be able to make them cardigans in what ever yarn they want. many thanks. an wishing you a happy an blessed 2017.

[@Pamela_Marie]

Yippee! Thanks, Clare! Can't wait to make this. I already have my yarn waiting :)

[@WollongongSkyWatch]

I love this pattern! This is my first adult garment. I stash-busted and used some beautiful vanilla 7ply boucle cotton (circa 80s) that I bought from Tassie's Wool Mill yrs ago. I made it longer, just past bum, and finished off the edges in rope twist. Can't wait to make a few more of these. Could not be easier, thanks to your great tutes! Thanks :) ps would love a v-neck jumper / sweater tute.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, thank you for the great feedback. I am wanting to make a cardigan like you you want. you thinking V neck or the other style I have a video on ? I have made the V neck sweater (not done the pattern or the tutorial yet, running out of time) but basically its the V neck cardigan and you keep going until the V neck is big enough to close up at the front, then you work in the round :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Opps ignore half of my reply, it was supposed to be for someone else LOL

[@WollongongSkyWatch]

No worries! Thanks for the v-neck jumper idea. Will let you know how I go :)

[@robynwoolnough5000]

thanks for this tutorial Clare, I have just finished a long sleeve version and started a 2nd very pleased with result. I have tried other top down cardies but ended up undoing as not happy with the final finish and fit but this one is great. Many thanks💐

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Robyn, thank you so much for your fabulous feedback

[@dawnamendola8690]

Robyn Woolnough that's what i always seem to have problems with , the final fit ... so you are saying you were pleased with the fit of this one ? Did you use the exact measurements you cane up with with the way Claire shows how to measure? Or did you go up a size , i would like mine to fit a little bigger than snug ...

[@marika.mbelvedere3014]

Claire, thank u so much for your clear explanations, I'm working this pattern, I follow you by some years, I did some of your patterns, also the written explanations are very helpfully for me :)

The link to your one colour sleeves is broken but I suppose it's the same as the other sleeves without changing the yarn of course. The wine cardigan is soooo gorgeous but I can't make the front from the recipe. I'm a beginner. Last week I made your orange hat for one of my cousins and this weekend I began your pink and blue scarf, both in navy blue though since said cousin is male and 19. Both videos were easy to follow along. Thank you so much!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, both of them worked for me, might of been a glitch , but here are both the links for you :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZofXiJt5pNKAkJY kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYCrq3yHfdBmrdk Yes the ends of the row of the first few rows on the cardigan are are little tricky, but once you get past that it is easy to see where to go The collar on the wine version is added after you have finished the cardigan and are working on the edging

[@luxramzi4467]

Southamericangirl42 ,

[@good5047]

So good

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you

[@cyndigirl3505]

Oh my gosh you are so talented and funny! You had me crackin up at the end! Very nice cardigans. I love the last one so much..... the one you froze yourself with, just for us, Thank you by the way. What stitch is it in the front when you try to show us? I guess it would be like the border? lol sorry

[@mickiewharton1120]

thank you,love this !

[@karenforte5674]

On the sleeves could you use a smaller hook instead of decreasing? I love your videos and the way you explain how to do each project. Also I have always had trouble with the edges and trying to make them so I don't have too many stitches or not enough and look a little cleaner.

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes you could essentially do this. the only thing that may be off is that decreasing gradually brings the size down and using the smaller hook will make the entire sleeve small so it may be snug on your upper arm and larger on your forearm.

[@nhungtran-kt8lm]

Thanks you very much

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you for watching my videos

[@valerieevans3206]

When you do the bottom half of the waistcoat do you still have to do 2 double crochet at ther end of the row and at that beginning please

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, no when you have joined under the arms you can stop the increasing BUT if you want the V neck to be longer you can keep increasing if you want to

[@SuperBettyboop40]

Clare which way is the wrong side?. I"m crocheting on the right side of the cardigan and hoping I am doing this right. I will see the more I do. So much fun!

[@susufromiraq223]

beautifull ..

[@txsunshinecowgirl]

video 2 notes:: i did 20 rows under the arm, (55 inch bust) total yardage used was 1200 yards, no sleeves cause i could not figure out how to decrease the proper way (i know how to decrease just could not get it to fit properly), stitch count around arm hole was 70 and could not make it smaller so no sleeves, it does not fit good at all, way off and looks weird, oh well maybe i can find a buyer otherwise it goes to the storage bin, thank you for a great video :-)

[@mariasierra08]

How many chains did you start with?

[@txsunshinecowgirl]

cant remember, i did notes on video 1

[@mariasierra08]

ok thanks:)

[@PadHopper]

A trick I have used when I can't figure out the decrease in a sleeve, is to go down a hook size. If you do a few rows in say a 5mm hook, then a few in a 4.5mm, then a few in a 4mm the sleeve will taper without any decreases.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Great tip JJ , i will have to remember that for next time, I am working on a fingering weight one at the moment and i think i am just about to start the sleeves

[@tinacalifano5023]

I love your videos Thank you so much for sharing !❤️ Can I ask what is the measurement from the arm whole to the bottom? I know you said 20 rounds but I must have a different size yarn or stitches ,because I had to add more rounds for the top half to equal the 9 inches . I'm making this for my daughters birthday.Thank you again ❤️

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Tina, thank you for your message, I have given this cardigan away, but i know that it sat a few inches below my hips and from underarm to wher it reached is 18 inches Hope this helps you

[@tinacalifano5023]

bobwilson123 Yes It really helps ,i am bigger than my daughter ,and I think the small will fit her.Thank you so much ❤️

[@CrochetwithClare]

Awesome !

[@valerieevans3206]

Could you do another stitch for the cardigan I'm not keen on double crochet please

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello yes, you can do single crochet, half double crochet.

[@valerieevans3206]

Thank you so much

[@starr2365]

Hi did you make the burgundy sweater the same small size? I want to make one that has that oversized look. Thanks!

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes the pink cardigan is also a small. i am a US size 6 i believe

[@diamondragdoll]

I'm loving your videos. Do you have a pattern for this type of cardigan using a 4 ply or 6 ply yarn or can I adjust this pattern or maybe use a child's cardigan pattern by varying the hook size maybe??

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello :) I have made this pattern using Australian 4ply yarn and it works fine :) This pattern has various sizes and you can pick the one that works or you . I think I chose the 1 size bigger in pattern for 8ply and 2 sizes bigger for the 4ply. That will make sense when i talk about the neckline in the pattern :) Hope this helps you

[@diamondragdoll]

Thanks for your reply. I actually started my cardigan using a 6 ply yarn I brought back from Germany before I got your reply. I've used your same basic principles and I love this top down approach to making a cardigan. I've made a number of changes to your pattern and I'll post a pic when I finish it. I can see myself using this idea over again.

[@dawnamendola8690]

This is a great pattern and tutorial... i have a question for anybody who has made this cardigan.... if you made the cardigan by using the formula Claire gave us for measurements did your cardigan come out with a snug fit or looser fit ? I'm looking to make my cardigan a little bigger rather than snug , so i was just wondering if i should go up a size or just stick with the exact measurements i get ?

[@CrochetwithClare]

if you would like it to be a little bigger i would go up a size. then you could actually try it on as you as well.

[@dawnamendola8690]

bobwilson123 thank you for responding i a Italy started overand went down to small size it was way too big lol ... i used hobby lobby i love this yarn , it's very soft but if i go with a number 3 light weight would i use I hook or smaller hook i like the way the small is fitting me using worsted weight but i would like to try lighter yarn should i stay with I hook and do small size or go up one size and use I hook?

[@dawnamendola8690]

*actually not Italy

[@CrochetwithClare]

dawn Amendola if you used a light weight yarn like a dk/8ply or sport I suggest using the size hook recommended by your yarn. If you are using a dk weight yarn then you would use a size G/4mm hook for this size yarn. If you would like it to be a little airier you can go up to a size 7/4.5mm but I would not go any higher than a size H/5mm hook as this may make the holes between stitches too loose. My patterns are written to be able to use either dk/8ply or worsted. For the worsted you use a size I/5.5mm hook. If you follow along with the written pattern it shows you how many chains to use for each type of yarn. If you do go up a hook size though this will change the measurements and how each size will fit.

[@dawnamendola8690]

bobwilson123 yes i followed your instructions i used an I (5.5 hook) and used a worsted weight yarn the first cardigan i started i did size up from the small it was way too big , so then i started over used same size hook and worsted weight yarn and did size small the same size you make in the video and it's still too big I've been crocheting for years and i can never get cardigans to come out right at all :( I love the simplicity of this pattern and there is ABSOLUTELY no sewing !!!! So maybe i can start all over ( the cardigan i have now only needs one more arm done but i stopped because it's just not sitting right i made it long and when i put it on it lays funny hangs very forward and comes up in the back and i put in on and put the shoulders more towards the back the collar part around my neck hangs in the back , it's just too big i would like to try this again which will be third time for me maybe i should just do worsted weight yarn and a G hook ? The pattern is great and i love it i would make a few but I'm not sure what to do from here ...

[@hthrgyrl]

i love the red one how did you make the collar is it just single crochet and if so how many rows

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, all the details that you need are in the video when you get to the collar I did a round of single crochet and then 8 of double crochet, you can do as many as you like if you want the collar to be wider Thank you for watching

[@hthrgyrl]

Thank you very much. i find you tutorial easy to understand and follow.

[@kiki14061979]

Hi!! Do you know any good patterns for dresses 50's style? There are a number of video's suggested via google but prohibeted to open in Europe ( since I live in Belgium I can't watch them)

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Vivianne Lo Hello, sorry I do not know any patterns

[@kvids4767]

On my sleeves my dcs was very loose:( do u have and idea why? Was your sleeves like that?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, I am not sure why that has happened, maybe because we have to constantly having to turn the sleeves

[@lizs8711]

I want to use this pattern to make a cardigan out of it, but how many would I chain for an ex large?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, all the information is in the video tutorial, you need a shirt and a tape measure and it will show you how to measure in the video

[@teresacollingwood]

Could this sweater be done in single crochet for a warmer sweater?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, yes i think so, you will have to make more rows, just be careful the tension isnt too tight because it might come out really stiff :) Thank you for watching

[@moshanthisuzuki7804]

Hi, Can you kindly let me know how I can make this cardigan with 3/4 sleeves? Thank you. Cheers

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, here is the video for the sleeves, you will just need to make then shorter to the length you want :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYCrq3yHfdBmrdk

[@moshanthisuzuki7804]

+bobwilson123 Thank you so much for replying. You are awesome. 😃

[@melissam748]

Hi! Do you happen to have a pattern for the rustic red, collared cardigan? Thanks!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, you can find the pattern for this in this video tutorial.

[@kixxy1955]

am i missing where it says how many balls of yarn is needed for the cream v neck?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, I am not sure if i mention it but I used just over 2 200 gram balls of red heart super saver :) Hope this helps you

[@arclebio9026]

Nota 10

[@marydt2009]

is that Rachael? ;)

[@janaytaylor2344]

Can u turn into a v neck shirt

[@CrochetwithClare]

you could always join the front together by sewing it together once you finish the cardigan

[@janaytaylor2344]

Thanks

[@mishellegarrett9243]

I wonder if you could show a hooded version. I love the casual feel of your videos so don't sweat your perceived lack of "professionalism" 😉

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Mishelle Garrett hi, i am sorry but i do not have a hooded version at this time but i do appreciate the suggestion. it would look pretty with a hood. you could try to join the yarn at the collar and crochet a square or rectangle the length from your neck to the top of your head and then crochet the top together to make a seam. hope that makes sense.
